Gift Wrap is a Tool item used to wrap an item of your choice, so that it may be delivered to a player of your choosing. Some normally untradable items may be traded by wrapping them. Gift Wrap can be bought from the Mann Co. Store or found in a Series #8 Mann Co. Supply Crate.
Description
Gift Wrap can be used to package an item as a gift for another player. Wrapped gifts can also be delivered to players who are offline at the time. Items that are normally not tradable can be wrapped and gifted using gift wrap. Upon use, it will create a "Carefully Wrapped Gift" and will destroy the tool in the process since it only has a single use.
After the gift is opened; the gifted item will have a description indicating who sent the gift and the date received. The recipient of a gift cannot resend a gift to someone else as the Send Gift option will be replaced with the 'Unwrap' option.
Non-wrappable items
Some non-tradable items are not able to be gift wrapped, thus remaining non-tradable:
- Cheater's Lament
- Ghastly Gibus
- Mann Co. Cap
- 119th Medals:
- Dueling badges:
- Golden Wrench
- Polycount Pin
- Community weapons
- Developer Weapons
Update history
- Gifted items are now craftable and tradable.
Trivia
- Prior to the October 29, 2010 Patch, using Gift Wrap on any item would make the item fully tradable (after a recipient opened the gift), regardless of its original trading capability. Another glitch fixed by this patch was the item's name not appearing correctly in the wrapped gift's description; it was stated to contain TF_WEAPON_BAT, regardless of what the Gift Wrap was used on.
- There was a rare glitch before the October 29, 2010 Patch where sometimes a player would receive two of the same gifted item. After the patch, any duplicate gifts that were unwrapped would remain, but if the gift remained wrapped after the patch it was removed.
- It is possible for the gift-wrappable property of an item to be lost further up the crafting chain. For example, crafting 18 non-tradable but gift-wrappable achievement weapons in the usual way results in non-tradable, non-gift-wrappable refined metal.
- The Carefully Wrapped Gift shares a similar model to the Secret Saxton, though sporting different wrapping paper and a description tag stamped with the TF2 logo.
