These came in a nice cardboard box with an attached lid so we were able to keep them safe until Halloween and also sending the costume to and from school for my son.  My 7 year old son is very hyper and not easy on things.  It's the middle of December and we have let him play with them all he wants since Halloween.  They are still in one piece and he loves to wear them with his whole costume.  They look perfect and he definitely looks like a little Harry Potter in them!
