Little Elf 2-Pack Wrapping Paper Cutter

Little Elf Wrapping Paper Cutter

Amazon

Give the gift of a simpler gift-wrapping process. This clever wrapping paper cutter makes it easier and quicker to wrap holiday presents. With no scissors required, it has a safe-to-use embedded blade that cuts crisply and cleanly on wrapping paper rolls that are 2.24 inches or smaller in diameter. It’s even heavy-duty enough to help you cut other projects, too, such as vinyl, craft paper, bulletin board paper, and more.

Gamma Light Therapy Revive Red Reading Light

This clip-on reading light does more than just illuminate your nighttime read. Whereas reading on a tablet exposes your body to sleep-disrupting blue light, this reading light has a 670-nanometer red light bulb that actually promotes natural melatonin production. It mimics the natural rays of the sunset, signifying to your body that it’s time to read, then go to sleep.

This innocuous tool is secretly the handiest thing ever. It’s magnetic, so you can stick it to the fridge, then reach for it when you need. It can both cut and heat-seal bags with the push of a button. It’s perfect for opening (and sealing) chips, cookies, snacks, and most other plastic bags.

Sleek Socket Original Flat Outlet Extension Cord

Is this a boring gift? Maybe only at a first glance, but when it comes to functionality, there’s nothing better than this utilitarian outlet cover. Your giftee will absolutely use it—if not every day. It’s an extension cord—and we always need more of those than we think we do—but it also eliminates the bulk and clutter that often comes with extra plugs. It hides the outlet with a sleek, flat cover, while still providing 3 feet of cord and three standard plugs. And because it doesn’t jut out of the wall like other cumbersome plugs do, you can push furniture closer to the wall to save space.
