What it is:
There's no reason an everyday object needs to be ordinary. Even something like the humble tape dispenser can make a wonderful gift if it's as clever as this one. His name is One Man Try, and his endless tongue of tape unravels and cuts off easily at his sharp little toes anytime you need it. He brings a bit of whimsy to even the blandest of desks and his long-suffering expression reminds anyone who uses him that no matter how hard their job is, at least it's not as bad as his. He can also, should you want a larger gift, be joined by
Curly the paperclip holder,
Clark the stapler, and you can even use the poor suffering One Man as a
doorstop. The humdrum of taping, stapling and paper clipping are over, soon everyone will be fighting over who gets to do collating next.
