Let me start by saying these ribbons are *sturdy*. The polyester material feels premium—no flimsy, dollar-store vibes here. I used them for my niece's backyard Olympics (yes, we had a sack race and a water balloon toss), and they held up perfectly, even after enthusiastic kid-handling.
The design is classic: that rich blue makes winners feel legit. The rosette shape lays flat when pinned (after some wrinkle warfare—more on that later), and the white backing is clutch for personalizing. I scribbled "Sack Race Champion 2023" in Sharpie, and it looked intentional, not DIY.
Now, the wrinkles. Oh boy. Three ribbons arrived jammed into a box fit for one, looking like they’d survived a tornado. Ironing helped (low heat + parchment paper trick!), but if you’re gifting these last-minute, be warned—they need rehab first.
Still, at this price for three? Worth the ironing session. They’re versatile (used one as a book award for my book club’s MVP reader) and durable enough to reuse. Just pray Amazon packs them better next time.
