Scene: My favorite new gadget just arrived in the mail all wrapped and sealed in plastic packaging. Can't wait to dig in and start handling it. I start to cut with the scissors, the stubborn packaging requires box cutter or chicken shear. After needing to totally destroy the packaging, scraping my hands a few times, I realize the gadget is broken. The seller requires original packaging to consider a valid return. If only I didn't have to destroy the packaging.

The art of Papercraft is rapidly becoming a fashion trend these days. This art form originates from the ancient Chinese tradition of folding.

Yes, it rolls away and keeps rolling until it can't roll anymore. The second thing going for it, you can decorate it with accessories. Supposedly it can safely drop from a max. height of 2 feet. Comes in aqua, white, or or mint. I can't decide if its retro or something innovative. Frankly I don't see a place in my bedroom. US$49.99
