Would you PLEASE come up with another alternative to the DAMN wire ties you love to secure the toys to the packages with!  It makes for a rough morning when you have kids screaming at ‘ya to “Open it open it take it out!” and you’re fighting and cutting these stupid wire ties! Are these ties even necessary?


Geeeze Louise! I swear I must have cut a dozen of the damn things on just one toy!


Anyone else know of the ties I speak?

AMEN! My daughter got a Snow White doll that had about 27 wire ties. What's the point?? Are they afraid the toys are going to escape?

Did you check Snow White for explosives? She may have been restrained under the Patriot Act.

I called my Bro this morning and said "Merry Christmas, What are you doing, Taking those little wire ties off of everything?"
He laughed and said "My three favorite words, Some Assembly Required"

They definately put a lot of those dang things on there.

How about this. The wire ties I went through today were freakin' hot glued closed to the cardboard.

You could ship these things to the moon, and they would arrive undamaged.

Mine too. All the ties were taped to the back of the cardboard. WTF???

No wonder my old man cussed so much on Christmas mornings.

I recycle the ties for use on garbage bags, just think, all the way from China to my tree lawn!
Just watch out for the Chinese made shirts...ever hear of acupuncture?
