Let me start off by saying I’ve never had a pair of sheets in such amazing package. If you are giving this as a gift, any kind of gift it’s already ready to go. You can wrap it or drop it in a bag and you have a gift. The presentation of this sheet set is beautiful.  Now, the sheets! They area bright white, 500 thread count and extremely soft. WOW, JUST WOW!!! You definitely can not go wrong with these. When my a husband says something is nice, they are.
