Why Can't We Find the Sellotape? - And Other Great Debates of Our Time
The presents are piled up, the wrapping paper is ready, the scissors have vanished, and the Sellotape has apparently gone into hiding. Why is it that every Christmas, just when you need to wrap the presents, the Sellotape disappears? Is there only one working pair of scissors in the entire house? And who used the last bit without replacing the roll?
Why Can't We Find the Sellotape? brings a little festive humour to one of the great mysteries of Christmas, presented in a Penguin-inspired book-cover design.
Part of the Inky Cat Printshop Christmas book card collection, this card celebrates the familiar chaos of Christmas preparations, when wrapping presents becomes an endurance test and someone inevitably ends up holding the paper together with their elbow.
A funny alternative to a traditional Christmas card for friends and family who know that the real test of festive spirit is getting all the presents wrapped before Christmas Eve.

A Christmas Card With a Difference
Part of the Inky Cat Printshop Penguin-inspired Christmas collection, these cards turn familiar festive questions and seasonal dilemmas into book-cover-style designs.
From missing mince pies to missing Sellotape, the collection celebrates the small absurdities that make Christmas what it is. Because Christmas isn't really Christmas until somebody asks, "Has anyone seen the Sellotape?"
Please note: This is an original design inspired by the visual style of vintage book covers. It is not an official Penguin product.
