In the past, during the holiday season, nearly every shopping mall in the U.S. featured a professional gift-wrapping station. The lines were often long, but the wait was worth it. You’d walk away with your gifts wrapped flawlessly — even the most awkwardly shaped ones. We’re talking perfectly crisp edges, no unsightly air pockets, and minimal tape usage.
However, with most holiday shopping now done online, professional gift wrapping stations have become as outdated as thick phonebook-sized Sears catalogs. And wrapping gifts on your own can be a real challenge. But that was before. Enter the The Original Little Elf gift wrap cutter — an incredible Amazon find — which makes wrapping much simpler. It’s no surprise that out of 19,000 buyers, most have given it a 5-star rating.
Cutting a straight line is one of the most difficult parts of wrapping, but this tubular cutter takes the guesswork out of the task. Here’s how it works: Slide the tool around your roll of wrapping paper. Then, pull out the amount you need. After that, slide the cutter down so the start of the paper rests over the blade. Finally, just slide the cutter along the paper to make a clean cut from start to finish. That’s all there is to it!
With this cutting tool, scissors are no longer necessary. It cuts the paper perfectly straight, so you can always be sure that your next wrapping session will start with a neat, fully intact roll of paper — no leftover partial sheets to deal with.
The set comes with two cutters, so if you’ve got a lot of gifts to wrap, you can share one with a friend to speed up the process. Alternatively, you can keep them on different rolls of paper so you're ready for any occasion, no matter which print you choose.
