If any of you still use typewriters, when you pull the spools off used correction tape when you are replacing it, the used one makes GREAT ribbon for small boxes or wrapping books. It's just translucent white ribbon with random letters printed on it in black and it's ADORABLE for wrapping...just a way to use old trash I guess :)
