I discovered these peppermint faux candy tape measures on Lantern Moon. They have some other cute tape measures similar to these like a little cake, a bee, and a sheep. Most of them go for about $10, not including shipping. I think of these of stocking stuffers, but they would also make nice little gifts for fellow crafting friends who you want to give something to that is not super expensive (aren’t we all counting our pennies these days?), that is practical, and that also fits in with their craft of choice.

It looks like most of the company’s products are imported, so I was a little put off by this, but then I read their philosophy on the About page, and I feel a little better:

We believe that we can learn and share a great deal with the communities in which we are involved. We pay fair wages and audit our suppliers to be sure that health and safety are maintained in the production of a Lantern Moon product. Many of the cultures where we work find are accustomed to dangers, disease and illness. We aspire, through our work with these communities to strengthen individuals and communities.

Of course, the way things are going in the US lately, I am going to look around Etsy and see if i can find anything similar.
