I think it's a nice gift! It's very tiny and cute; perfect for going out, use as a makeup case, and I know it holds items better than the pochette accessories (you can fit a lot in both, but I don't like how "stuffed" pochettes look). And they resemble speedys, which are iconic.
for a shelf? im buying one from lt for USE! its very cute, but i couldn't JUST look at it! i HAVE to use it! its such a teeny tiny little munchkin and it holds SO much!
