But now that most holiday shopping is done online, professional gift wrapping stations are as outdated as phonebook-sized Sears catalogs. And when it comes to wrapping gifts yourself, the struggle is real. Until now. Cue the dramatic music: The Original Little Elf gift wrap cutter — a gem of an Amazon find — makes wrapping way easier. No wonder most of the 19,000 people who bought and rated it gave it 5 stars.
One of the trickiest parts of gift wrapping is cutting in a straight line, but this tubular slicer makes that process foolproof. Here’s how it works: You slide the tool around your tube of wrapping paper. Then, you pull out the amount of wrapping paper you need. Next, you slide the cutter down until the start of the paper is securely over the blade. Last, simply slide the cutter down the paper until it’s done cutting all the way across. That’s it!
With this paper-cutting tool, you don’t even need scissors — at all. Since it cuts the paper straight, it ensures your wrapping paper roll is ready for the next time you use it, not leaving any half or quarter pages of paper left over for you to figure out what to do with.
The pack comes with two, so if you have a lot of presents to wrap, you can share the other one with someone else to help you get the job done quicker. Or, you can leave them on different wrapping paper rolls so you’re all set up for next time, no matter which printed paper you want to use.
