Have you ever been using Sellotape and thought “Jesus Christ my life is falling apart around me and I feel like a spectator watching my body perform menial tasks while my soul dissipates into the ether?”

Well join the club, sister! But don’t worry, because we have five totally adorbs Selloptape alternatives to help you temporarily hold together that crumbling life of yours.

1) Pink floral

This pink and white floral print with transport you to the breathtaking cherry blossom groves of the Japanese peninsula. We recommend using it when a long-term relationship has suddenly fallen through and you’ve just realised you have no idea who you even are without Chris.

2) Tiny watermelons

TINY WATERMELONS!? Need we say more? Use this charming washi tape when Chris lets you know you have to move out of the flat he rents from his dad and, at the age of 30, you have to try to find a flatshare with 11 people you don’t know, while you’re still on a junior salary after your ill-timed career pivot.

3) Gold glitter

Look at you, golden girl! This sparkly washi tape is not only ultra glam, but will also help to hold together your relationship with your manager, who you keep crying in front of at work.

4) Hearts

HE BROKE YOUR HEART AND YOU’LL NEVER FIND ANYONE ELSE AND YOU’RE GOING TO DIE ALONE IN A FLATSHARE IN FOREST HILL. Also comes in pink

5) Plain yellow

This bold primary colour roll is two times thicker than a typical washi tape, which is very useful when you’ve been fired and have had to move back in with your parents. You’re going to need that sticking power, girl!
