Handy Tape Dispenser!

JeanLouiseFinch — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 01:18:50 GMT

My days of spending endless hours on the floor wrapping Christmas presents are a thing of the past. It still takes a lot of time but I've been wrapping them at our kitchen table for a number of years now. Somehow the tape always gets misplaced, buried, or knocked off the table. This year I discovered a clip on tape dispenser while mindlessly scrolling around Amazon. Let me tell you, this inexpensive little gem has been a great find. It tilts at several angles, pivots, doesn't damage the table, and doesn't get lost! I'm sticking it with my Christmas wrapping supplies so I don't lose it between now and next year.

Now we just need a homing device to find where we put the @#$& scissors.

And how did the return address labels get away from the stamps ?! Or vice versa ?!

@JeanLouiseFinch thanks for the heads up on this handy little gadget. Sure beats surrounding myself with multiple rolls of tape that find their way down the cushions or hiding under tissue paper.

@JeanLouiseFinch What a great find. I bought these last year, yes, I needed two in the house. One, that SO can't move! No more lost tape! Sissors- oh my, at least 5 or 6 pairs, plus my Kuhn Rikon shears here too!

@lynnie61 - I have "a few" KR shears scattered around here too. Plus I bought two more sets this year to split up for our adult kids' household bonus gifts. I always collect random gadgety stuff for them and each household gets a box of useful surprises. Each family will get two shears. Aren't they lucky?! 😆

@JeanLouiseFinch They are lucky! I ended up ordering a set on eBay, a few days before the TSV. (Thought they weren't coming this year).

I've given these shears to so many people. I bet your family loves bonus gifts like these!
