Firebox.com have clearly been thinking outside the box with their new Crapwrap™ gift wrapping option which offers a welcome alternative to those oh so prettily wrapped offerings with ribbons on the top.

Getting hairy arsed forklift truck drivers to help out in the warehouse with brown tape and wrapping paper doing the best they can is genius and the mental image brings an evil smirk to my face as I hand pick crap presents for my least favourite relatives.

Trust Firebox to come up with a service I didn’t even know I needed! You can try Crapwrap™ for free using Firebox voucher code WRAP-12 at the checkout.

For last minute pressies (up until 1pm Tuesday 23rd December 2008) why not order a Firebox Mystery Box, get it CrapWrapped and sent straight to the recipient.

There’s also a £5 Firebox discount voucher with no minimum spend available until the end of December 2008. Happy Crappy Christmas!
