KOOGEL Explosion Gift Box DIY Exploding Photo Album Preassembled Surprise

I think this gift box was great for the value, it was able to hold a lot of pictures and other things. The instructions were a little bit hard to follow, but it wasn’t too bad and it ended up being pretty easy. Took about an hour to put together. The quality is pretty good, the paper it is made of is thick and the stickers it came with were a cute bonus. Overall this is great for any occasion, I used it as a Christmas gift to my grandmother with just a bunch of family photos as a keepsake.

The Koogel Explosion Gift Box is a really creative and fun way to make a personalized gift, but the assembly was a bit tricky at first. Once I figured out how each layer folds, it became much easier. A clear instruction sheet showing which side to fold would make a big difference for first‑time users. I found it easiest to design and decorate each part separately, then assemble everything at the end—this made the whole process much more manageable. The included stickers and glitter pens are a great addition. Since I ordered the red box, which is quite dark, the glitter pens were actually the only ones that showed up clearly when writing on it. Overall, it’s a lovely, customizable gift box with great accessories, just be prepared for a little learning curve during assembly.

This box is a great gift for someone you care about. Your creativity can lead you to do whatever you'd like with it. I had no idea how tricky and time consuming this project would be. I had to pull up a video in YouTube to assemble because the instructions are subpar. The material isn't very strong but I'm putting decorations in the feint and back of every single piece of this thing to make it stronger. I'm using washi tape to help keep things secured and provide more fine details. Because of all these details I've already invested 20 hours in to this project and have a few more to go. Will be a great gift.

I absolutely loved the result! Everything came in very nice packaging. The only thing I’d say about it is that it came with a little bend in the material, BUT I just folded the crease out and it was good to go!! The instructions was 50% easy to follow, so I went to YouTube University lol and found a very easy to follow tutorial. It’s sturdy to a certain degree, but when you add your pictures it makes it a little more sturdy. Make sure you purchase your own double sided tape, you’ll thank me later! I added wrapping paper and other embellishments to make it pop! I made this for my fiancé for Valentine’s Day and I’m super excited to give it to him. I believe he’s gonna love it!!

I ordered this as a gift for my fiance for valentines day. It is super cute except now it is falling apart and needs to be thrown away. If you are planning to try to keep the gift box, I would save your money and get something else, but if you just want it to put a gift in and need it for a short period of time, it is worth it. It is A LOT of work to put together, took me hours. It isn't hard, just time consuming. By the time I had the box put together, I was so over it I didn't even want to decorate it. But my fiance liked it so that's a win.

This Explosion Gift Box is excellent! The chalk pens included enabled me to decorate each flap in a colorful fun way. This was well made and directions were easy to use. They supply more than you need to personalize it. Everything you need is included. After assembling, the trial run worked perfectly.

This exploding gift box ended up being a really fun and memorable gift. I made one for my daughter’s 23rd birthday, filled it with photos and little notes and gifts, and even added a couple of wind-up butterflies so they would fly out when she opened it. The surprise effect was fantastic and she absolutely loved it. It definitely created a special moment. The box itself comes preassembled with scrapbooking accessories and plenty of little spaces to add photos, messages, and decorations. There’s a lot of room to get creative and personalize it however you want, which is what makes it such a unique gift. That said… be prepared to invest some time. I spent hours working on it, arranging pictures and decorating everything. It turned out great, but it’s definitely not a quick project if you want it to look nice. Pros • Very creative and unique gift idea • Lots of space for photos, messages, and decorations • Comes with scrapbooking accessories • Makes a fun surprise when opened • Great for birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions Cons • Very time-consuming to put together if you want to do it well Overall Verdict A really fun DIY gift that creates a memorable surprise moment. It takes patience and time to complete, but if you enjoy crafting and personalizing gifts, the end result can be very special.

it was super hard to put together just because it’s so flimsy, but the idea was really cute. if you want to go for something like this, i’d do gift boxes made of cardboard from the dollar tree as that’s what i did a few yrs ago and bought this to try it out.
