Roll Buddy

atla121407_rollbud.jpgYou know those ridiculous infommercials where people can barely use common household objects? Where things like vacuums or scissors supposedly confound us to the point we need to purchase some new sort of doodad or gizmo from an excited bearded gent of questionable honesty? Well in the case of Christmas wrapping paper, I'm that bumbling idiot. It rolls and unwinds like a Buster Keaton movie on fast forward when I even near a roll. Apparently the Roll Buddy was created for me.

If I read the description correctly, the paper can be dispensed while the cuff is on. Now that's a good idea.

if it works while dispensing - great. otherwise, i say use a rubber band.

Keep it simple, ditto on just using a rubber band.

rubber bands are not a bad idea, but it can still cause the paper to rip, etc. another cheap option is panty hose, just slip the rolls of paper into the legs.
