    Abstract: A gift-wrapping assembly including a box having elongated slots in the top. Each slot is partially cut out from the top with a portion of the top partially removed, the cut out portion being hinged on the uncut portion and forming a tongue to hold tabs inserted in the slots. The assembly also includes a plurality of decorative ribbons, each having a plastic plate at each end. A tab extends as a partial cut-out from each end of each plate at approximately a right angle to the plane of the plate. At its junction with the plate the tab is undercut. Each ribbon encircles the box and is locked by the engagement at its ends of the undercut edges of the tabs in the outer regions of the corners of the opposite slots of each pair. The assembly also includes a bow having on its under side a plate from whose corners tabs extend at approximately a right angle to the plane of the plate. These tabs are also undercut.
