Gadget Store Offering Bad Gift-Wrapping Option

Gadget Outlet Offering Poorly Wrapped Gifts
Some of us geekier types have trouble performing basic human functions, such as talking to member of the opposite (or same) sex, dressing ourselves, and wrapping gifts. As messy as a geek-wrapped gift may be, there is something oddly charming about the crooked folds and sloppy taping job.

Gadget e-retailer, Firebox, is offering a service it's calling CrapWrap. CrapWrap allows anyone to offer the allure of a poorly wrapped gift, smothered in brown packing tape. The gifts are wrapped not by dedicated packaging workers, but by untrained warehouse workers, including forklift operators. Even lazy geeks who just don't want to take the time to do their own shoddy wrapping job can cough up $9 for hastily packaged products. [From: News.com.au]
