Online retailer offers shoddy gift-wrapping
A company has launched a 'messy' gift-wrapping service so that it looks like blokes have wrapped Christmas presents themselves.
Rather than pristine parcels with perfectly folded paper and exquisitely tied ribbon the gifts arrive with roughly chopped paper and sealed with industrial-style tape.
The firm behind the "CrapWrap" service say many women get upset if their gifts don't look like their man has paid the care and attention to wrap them himself.
They even promise their wrapping handywork is so shoddy your wife or girlfriend won't think for a minute someone else has done it for you.
"It takes a high degree of skill to deliberately wrap a present this poorly," said a spokesperson for Firebox.co.uk which charges £3.95 per parcel.
"Our ham-fisted gift wrappers will do their best at doing their worst in wrapping your products for you."
The online store say that they are paying 20 of their forklift truck drivers and warehouse assistants to wrap presents, and that more than 500 customers have already used the service.
