Wrapsofree

Created by: Nosila

Sentence: Her Christmas rhapsody turned to crapsody when her chapsody's gift came wrapped in old magazine pages. Colorful as they were, she knew he'd never paid for a magazine in his life, so this gift was done up in wrapsofree.

Etymology: Wrap (covering on a gift) & So Free (no cost), wordplay on rhapsody...which this is not!
