While holiday shopping can be stressful, wrapping all the gifts you’ve bought can be just as taxing. Ask anyone who has spent untold December nights buried in paper and Scotch tape, and they’ll tell you the worst part of the process is that awful moment when the scissors don’t glide across the wrapping paper as expected, leaving its edges jagged and sloppy-looking. Luckily, the Little Elf Gift Wrap Cutter is here to solve this problem. It, as one shopper said, “cuts wrapping paper in nice, straight, clean lines.”
Little Elf
No more messy scissors versus wrapping paper battles. This holiday helper promises a perfect cut every time.
The handy gadget is specially designed to fit around a roll of wrapping paper. When you are ready to cut, just pull your desired amount of paper through the cutter’s opening, place the end of the paper roll in the blade slot, push the device away from you and you’ll be left with a perfectly cut piece every single time.
Bryan Perla, creator of the nifty tool says, “I designed Little Elf to solve the annoying issue associated with wrapping presents. I watched my family and friends continuously struggle … I knew I needed to revolutionize how people cut wrapping paper.” During an appearance on Shark Tank, Perla got two offers, and soon Little Elf hit the mainstream.
Little Elf quickly became a fan favorite among Amazon shoppers. More than 12,000 reviewers have given the holiday essential a five-star rating.
One happy shopper called it a “game changer” before adding, “This product takes the frustration out of gift wrapping. I’ve been using gift bags for years due to the frustration of wrapping gifts. This year, I couldn’t wait to wrap more!”
Others say it’s a great tool to have for people who suffer from ailments like carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis, as holding scissors can be painful. “I love wrapping, and this is a great tool,” wrote one. “I had carpal tunnel release, so grip strength or manual dexterity issues. Glad not to be using scissors, as it causes pain.”
(A couple of shoppers cautioned that their wrapping paper was too thin. Said one, “Thinner wrapping paper tears.” Agreed another, “It really only cuts well if you have super high-quality, thick paper. The thinner the paper, the more easily it gets caught and just bunches and tears at the blade.”)
And when you’re done wrapping gifts, shoppers say you can use the gadget to prevent the wrapping paper rolls from unraveling and creating a mess. At just $7 each, the Little Elf gift cutter is an affordable way to save time and make wrapping gifts so much easier this holiday season.
