Cymbal Clapping Monkey Tape Dispenser

Just when you thought tape dispensing couldn’t get any more exciting, Amazeko has released this Clapping Monkey Tape Dispenser. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the monkey happily claps his cymbals whenever you pull on the tape. Obviously, this is going to make wrapping presents in secret a bit more challenging.

The tape dispenser features a non-slip weighted banana base so it stays put while in use, and takes regular 1-inch core tape rolls like 3M or Scotch, up to 3/4″ in width. Considering all my work is performed digitally, I’ve got no real reason to have a tape dispenser on my desk at work. Well, besides taping ‘KICK ME’ signs to the backs of coworkers and getting written up by HR, but I think we can all agree that’s reason enough. Please don’t fire me, the monkey was egging me on with all his clapping!

I just showed it to my wife in my Amazon cart but she quickly looked away with an “Absolutely not,” and now I regret showing her in the first place. In the past, I’ve found it’s best to order things like and schedule delivery to make sure they arrive on days when she’s at work, but I thought she’d actually think this was cute. Oh well, she works on Friday.

Sleep with a Gorilla in Your Bed

Are you feeling lonely sleeping in your bed alone? Scared somebody might be climbin’ in your windows and snatchin’ you up at night? Well you need a gorilla in your bed!

Japanese outfit You+More’s gorilla pillow is the perfect addition to any bed, offering up a comforting arm and huge pectoral muscles for you to rest your weary head on. The pillow is inspired by Shanabi, a Western lowland gorilla who resides at the Higashiyama Zoo in Nagoya, Japan.

The soft and comforting pillow measures about 18 inches-tall and almost 3 feet-wide, and is made from 100% polyester – just like a real gorilla! There’s even a cosy nook to hang onto your phone when he’s not holding a banana there.

Sadly, I’m not sure where you can get this gorilla pillow here in the states, but if you live in Japan, you should be able to pick one up from Felissimo for ¥6,300, or about $59 USD.
