Wrapping presents is a two, and sometimes three handed operation. Cutting a piece of tape takes two hands as well. Using a tape dispenser reduces it to a one handed operation. A tape dispenser also makes it harder to loose the tape under piles of paper.

To make tape use even more efficient pre-cut your tape before you start folding paper. Line them up on a nearby surface so you can just grab and stick. You can also use pre-cut pieces of Scotch Gift Wrap Tape with the Scotch Pop-up GiftWrap Tape Dispenser. With this ergonomic tool you do not need a place to stick your pre-cut tape. It is right at your fingertips.
