Mini Tape Gun

This may seem like the most boring toy on the planet, but if you have a crafty young tyke, you know how often you hear “Mom, where’s the tape?” This mini easy-grip tape dispenser provides 1-handed stick-and-tear control for efficient taping of wrapping paper, school projects and more. Available from Restoration Hardware, after a few weeks with this, I wouldn’t be surprised if he or she starts asking if any of the local mail rooms are hiring. $10
