Hey so I was just talking with someone who told me about how he was giving his friend a mining mindlink to his buddy for Christmas. I then remembered about how one year I gave my friend (I miss you Eran!) an Obelisk for his birthday. I'd really love to see GIFT WRAP -- something you can put an item in and they can't see what's inside until they open it!

It'd be all festive and could be manufactured or sold on the market (or even given to us from you guys!)

Anyway just a fun thought. Ever think about how much paper it'd take to cover a carrier or freighter? haha ;3

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

It may look and sound corny to other, but I like this idea.
Should be something we can make easily, not given to us by CCP.

Thumbs-up from me Big smile

/me can see the tears from someone using this in a really simple scam already

But the legit use is worthy as well. All that said, this belongs in F&I.

A gift wrap would be very cool to have.
I've given ingame stuff to RL friends for their birthdays in the past, usually putting it ina can and naming the can.
Technicly, using a courrier contract to make a 'plastic wrap' item, and then renaming the item, failing the contract and giving them the package could work, but is cumbersome.

Having a 'giftwrap' item you can put around something ( any size, but no size bonusses like cargo cans ), which becomes a 'used gift wrap' when the package is opened or something like that would be very very cool.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

All they need is a reskined station warehouse container that has the icon of a christmas present, make it uncontractable to avoid any issues although on a contract it would just list the contents, gifts should always be given in person ;)

I bet it is too late for this Christmas but I like this idea.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.
