Description
This hot dog tape dispenser turns an everyday desk job into a little joke, with a glossy brown dachshund tucked snugly into a long yellow bun. Its head and floppy ears poke out at one end, its tail end rises at the other to carry the cutting edge, and four small feet peep out beneath the bun so it stands steady on a desk. The tape roll sits in the middle of the bun, and the roll that comes with it is printed with a wavy red line of ketchup, so the joke carries on with every strip you pull. It measures 15.4cm long, 5.5cm wide and 8cm high, a compact size that sits beside a keyboard, a notebook or a pen pot.
We think it earns its place on a home office desk, a study table, a craft corner or a shared workspace, anywhere tape gets used for wrapping presents, sealing envelopes, labelling files or sticking notes in place. Kept within easy reach, it saves hunting through a drawer for a loose roll. At 8cm high it sits low and neat on a crowded shelf or desk without getting in the way. It brings a bit of fun to a busy working day, and it tends to start a conversation at a shared desk.
The dispenser is made from polypropylene plastic and metal, with a serrated cutting edge at the tail for tearing off a strip. One roll of plastic tape is included, and when it runs out the dispenser takes small rolls up to 1.8cm wide and 10m long with a 2.5cm centre hole, so refilling it is simple. Wipe the plastic with a soft damp cloth to keep the glossy finish bright. Set it beside a notebook and a jar of pens for a desk that makes you smile, or wrap it up as a cheerful little gift.
