The ribbon: a knot that means someone
In the language of the wrap: connection, appreciation, and the care of a hand that tied it.
Everything else about a gift can be manufactured; the ribbon is the part that remembers hands. A bow is a knot tied so it can be undone by someone else — which is, if you think about it, the whole grammar of giving in one gesture. You finish the gift; they begin it.
That is why the ribbon carries the relationship rather than the occasion. Its colour is the tone of voice: red says what red has always said, gold applauds, silver bows its head a little. Choose it the way you'd choose your opening line.
On a KaDo gift the ribbon rides every form — it cinches the bouquet, crowns the box, binds the voucher — and the colour you choose here is the colour they untie.

Companions in the unwrapping
Asked before wrapping
Do ribbon colours really mean different things?
By long convention, yes — red for love, gold for celebration, white for remembrance. Traditions vary by culture, so read the colour meanings as a shared starting point, not a rulebook; the note you write always outranks the bow.
Where does my ribbon colour appear?
The colour you choose drives the ribbon and ties across the whole reveal — the bow on the box, the binding on the bouquet, the band on the voucher — exactly as you previewed it.
