Giftcrap
Created by: purpleartichokes
Pronunciation: gift-krap
Sentence: She may have thought more of the John Deere sweater if it didn't come packaged in the giftcrap from his bachelor party.
Etymology: gift wrap, crap
Wrapsofree
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: rap so free
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. His gift to her from the Gapsody would have been better received if he had not stolen pages from his Dadsody's stash of Playboys. For that he got a slapsody, after which he needed a napsody!
Etymology: Wrap (covering on a gift) & So Free (no cost), wordplay on rhapsody...which this is not!

Giftcrapped
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: gift-krapd
Sentence: Julie can't stand anything that has already been used/recycled. When her boyfriend gave her a present festooned with reused paper and a previously-owned bow, she saw it as giftcrapped.
Etymology: giftwrap (decorative paper used to wrap presents) + crap (refuse; rubbish; junk; litter)
Thriftwrap
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /thrift-rap/
Sentence: Carole winced visibly when Samantha carelessly, and needlessly, opened her baby-shower presents by clawing and tearing at the wrapping instead of delicately peeling the taped ends, because Carole knew she would have to use even more tape to repair the damage, and she planned to re-use the thriftwrap for her teenage son's upcoming birthday.
Etymology: [from "giftwrap"] thrift - frugality (perhaps from Old Norse, from thrīfask "to thrive") + wrap (Middle English, wrappen)

Glitterpirate
Created by: Ismelstar
Pronunciation: [glit-er-pahy-ruht]
Sentence: Proudly, I presented, Joyce, my new girlfriend with her Christmas gift. After a nip here and a tug there, came a silent curse when the tape took with it a miniscule sliver of shiny paper. Too late, I realize she was a glitterpirate, salvaging the glistening golds of celebratory wrapping paper for future escapades.
Etymology: A mash-up of, "glitter", (n) showy splendor, (v) to make a brilliant show small glittering ornaments and "pirate", (n) any plunderer, predator or (v) to take or entice away for one's own use. Antonyms: sparkelescuttle
Packwrapt

Etymology: pack rat + wrap
----------------------------
COMMENTS:

Thriftwrap
Created by: rombus
Pronunciation: thrift - rap
Sentence: Benjamin always used thriftwrap for his gifts. He reclaimed all wrappings from gifts he received throughout the year and sometimes reused styrofoam take-out containers as boxes. He was careful to wash all traces of food out of them first. His friends were sometimes "befuddled" though as the paper he had around the house did not always match the occasion.
Etymology: thrift (parsimony: extreme care in spending money; reluctance to spend money unnecessarily) + wrap (enclose or enfold completely with or as if with a covering)

Pronunciation: Pass-tee-rap
Sentence: Joan was amazed at Frank's ability to wrap presents. The box was beautifully wrapped with an intricate bow to match. But upon further inspection of Frank's box, Joan noticed a small portion of a "From - To" sticker on the side and she knew it was pastiwrapped.
