Brilliant! ;-)

Messy gift-wrapping service 'Crapwrap' launched by gadget retailer Firebox | News | News.com.au
"WHEN it comes to wrapping presents, most men tend to take a utilitarian approach. The paper is likely to be roughly chopped, the sticky tape applied in industrial quantities and as for bows and ribbons — forget it. It's perhaps not surprising that presented with an immaculately wrapped gift, many women become suspicious that it may not have received the personal touch. But one UK retailer is providing a wrapping service so shoddy the recipient will be left in no doubt her partner did it. 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."

Why would I pay for someone to do a crappy wrapping job when I'm more then capable of doing a crappy wrapping job myself for free

I stink at gift wrapping. Always too much wrap and too much tape. Rarely symmetrical. But my wife loves it.
