I was really disappointed when this item arrived! they don't look anything like on the picture, I thought they would be big pink pom poms but they just have a few fibre optic strands that look nothing like pom poms in my opinion and aren't even pink. The packaging was also very battered and tacky looking (they were obviously just imported from some other country as there isn't even any english on the box) My daughter hasn't tried them yet as they are a christmas present, so we'll have to see whether she likes them or not, but I think they are going to be a complete waste of money!
