When you put a gift in one of those decorative boxes, do you still wrap it or just tape the box shut and put a ribbon and bow on it?
Answer
I usually wrap it. I think the point of the decorative box is to avoid wrapping. If I don't wrap it, I put a couple of ribbons around the box AND a bow. I may be odd, but I enjoy wrapping gifts.
A ribbon or riband is a thin band of material, typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily as decorative binding and tying. Cloth ribbons are made of natural materials...
