Company offers to wrap your Christmas purchases just as badly as you could do it yourself
So says Kat, my source on this story. It's called "Crapwrap":
Firebox.com is paying 20 of its male forklift truck drivers and warehouse assistants to wrap presents as quickly as possible, using ugly brown duct tape and very little care.
And the $9 service, cheekily called CrapWrap, has attracted more than 500 customers since it launched last week.
This way she'll think you did it.
...Parcels can even be dispatched in brown paper with a shoddily-tied pink ribbon.
Kevin Smith, 29, is proud to be the worst wrapper at the company's London warehouse.
He said: "I am rubbish. We're not given any instructions. I'm just asked to make a hash of it using lots of brown tape and making sure there are rips and untidy folds.
"It's nice to get away from the normal work: cleaning, packing and moving stuff around. Wrapping is a good distraction."
