Just when you think you've lived in Brooklyn long enough to hate all of human kind, ya happen upon adorable sh*t like this.
The reason I was googling "patterned tape" in the first place is because Matt and I need a solution for packing that will make it easy for "the movers" (ie. our family and friends) to identify boxes destined for Manhattan versus boxes doomed to a year of storage before we, as Jack Donaghy would say, "flee to the Cleve"
heh.
Anyhoo, look at these fun (and like many fun things, overpriced and impractical) tapes:
Alas, I think we'll go with something that is available at a local store - like that colored duct tape, perhaps. (Otherwise, we'd probably double the price with shipping costs.) But if anyone has a good idea for this patterned stuff, let me know! It would be a fun way to mail a gift package, right? Or just wrap a present in general. I'm picturing a box wrapped in newspaper or plain craft paper with some of that "happy tape" wrapped around it like ribbon. On the top of the box you could "draw" a bow with pieces of the tape. Notice I am thinking about this as opposed to packing. Have I mentioned my procrastination problem?

You could probably get away with mailing an empty box. We are in a recession after all....
"Look Mom, I'm sorry you didn't like your present, but I really thought you'd like the 'happy tape'."
Yea...uh...writing a blog about packing is totally as efficient as actually packing.
Tonight for dinner I was thinking I'd get home and write an essay.
I got multicolored packing tape that came in a set with actual "rooms" marked on the tape.
Unfortunately, I ended up not using a lot of "den" tape, and overused "office" tape (since I considered all of Kevin's books "office").
I know! Who has dens these days anyway? What exactly is a den? On the Brady Bunch, the den WAS the office, so who knows!?
