The Giftapult is a tool item represented by a miniature wooden medieval-style catapult. It may be used to pack one tradable item in the user's backpack and deliver it to a random online player. This item can only be used if the user has a premium account.

Description

When used with an item in the user's backpack, the Giftapult and item disappear and are replaced with a Loaded Giftapult tool. Once the Loaded Giftapult is used, the gift is sent to a random online player instantly, appearing in that player's backpack as a Delivered Giftapult Package. The Delivered Giftapult's packaging is green as opposed to the blue packaging of an item wrapped with Gift Wrap (named instead as A Carefully Wrapped Gift).
