I purchased this as a gift for my girlfriend on her birthday. I saw this online as I was scrolling looking for unique gifts. I was originally looking for gold dipped roses when I stumbled across this item. I ordered it on Sunday night and it was delivered to me in Oklahoma City by noon on Thursday. So it was a relatively fast delivery. It was packaged very well. When I opened it, I was in awe of how it looked. More beautiful than how it looks online. I then popped the bottom off the battery compartment and plugged in three AAA batteries and replaced the lid. I turned the switch to "on" and was mesmerized by the lights and how well the rose lit up. This thing is magnificent and like I said the pictures and online viewing does not do it justice. This is a must have gift for your significant other! I can't wait to give this to my girlfriend.
