gift bow

Present's finishing touch

A gift bow is a decorative ribbon arrangement placed on wrapped presents, typically featuring loops radiating from a center point.

Most are self-adhesive and peel-and-stick: She pressed a shiny red gift bow onto the package.

The term distinguishes these ornamental bows from functional ones used to tie things closed.
