Obsessed: Sweet Bella's Patterned Masking Tapes

Hum-drum masking tape gets an upgrade in Sweet Bella's pretty patterns.
Sometimes it's the simple things that make me happiest. Case in point: Sweet Bella's adorable masking tapes in stripes, checks, plaids and dots, which I spotted at the New York International Gift Show. What a way to elevate the everyday! Just think of the myriad possibilities -- a boring to-do list, a plain envelope, a white-tissue wrapped gift all become super-chic with the addition of a Sweet Bella number.

Printed on Japanese rice paper, these tapes will cost you a little more that the average drug-store variety (thought not much). However, patterns like the blue plaid above just make me instantly happy, which, for me, makes it totally worth it.

I wasn't the only one who liked Sweet Bella, check out The Haystack Needle's shots of the adorable way they displayed the tapes in their booth after the jump:
