The Giftapult is a tool item. It is represented by a miniature wooden medieval-style catapult.

Contents
Usage
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).
A Loaded Giftapult can be unwrapped from the backpack; doing so gives back the wrapped item, but not the Giftapult. Additionally, it will show the item was being gifted by the person who wrapped it.
