Christmas Magic
A potpourri of xmas tips for home and gifts, courtesy of this magical little booklet from "Scotch" brand tapes and "Sasheen" brand ribbon (1959.) I especially love the red, white, and blues wrapping paper on the present directly under the blonde girl with pigtails in the "Magic Bow" 2-page spread, and of course the choo-choo train themed design puffing away up on dad's shelf. There are lots of really great ideas here, and we'd love to hear from anyone that attempts any of these! I for one will most definitely NOT be decorating the bathroom wastebasket though!

wow - this is so neat! i really love that black wrapping paper with designs on it that the snowman bow decoration is on.
and i would seriously make that Friendship Wreath if i had any old cards hanging around - but man there's no way those cards are attached to a hula hoop. who are they trying to kid?
i also like the Dazzle Wreath a lot and i freaking LOVE that Christmas Story on Tape! i would kill for a roll of that! all of these tapes are really cool! i didnt realize they had that back then.
oh and don't foget to put rolls of scotch tape in your kid's stockings! what a thrilling stocking stuffer!
really cool pics :D
Scotch tape is actually a good present if you're buying for a comic book collector who bags and boards his stuff obsessively!
i'll be sure and keep that in mind
I like the picture of the kid under the bed. It's so arch and postured, but I really dig it. I miss dingle ball bedspreads!
Xmas dingle balls for everyone!!
The boy's forced smile with mom behind him, he's probably thinking 'oh, great, Scotch Tape for Christmas, again'-
-that is without a doubt the universal expression of extreme disappointment masked by the fake smile of 'just-pretend-I-like-it-and-mom-and-dad-won't-yell-at-me' that kids worldwide know all so well (I recall that smile from my childhood on occasion, its something you don't forget.)
