Here’s an essential tool for easing the chore of wrapping presents: a weighted tape dispenser. “But tape comes in a handy little dispenser,” you protest. “Yes, but you can’t use the cheap, light dispensers one handed,” I reply, “especially if you’re like me and you end up holding a bunch of paper flaps together around a lumpish object with one hand and hoping you can slap the tape on before they come flying apart.” Besides, the heavier dispensers are only a few bucks, so add one to your next Amazon order if you need something to bump you up into the free shipping category (or pick one up at your local office-supply megaplex). Don’t forget the tape to go with it.
