The website offers a handpicked selection of nine unique designs, from Nyan Cat and Casual Slip N’ Slide to Keyboard Cat and Pelvic Thrusting Stormtrooper.

Says Elizabeth Commandeur, lead creative at Circul8: “GIFwrap combines two of the Internet’s favourite things – hilarious GIFs and DIY wrapping paper – to make anyone’s gift stand out underneath the Christmas tree.”

 

Says Alana Stocks, managing director at Circul8: “We wanted to create something innovative to add a bit of fun to the festive season. It’s our way of saying thank you and celebrating Christmas the digital way.”
