Wrapit - failure - selfish brides and grooms
Discussion
I can't believe (well, I can, but..) the number of people on the beeb site complaining about how s
t their entire relationship with Wrapit has been and then sign off with 'and I'm embarrassed because I recommmended it to my sister / cousin / friend'.
On a slight aside, when one of my cousins got married their gift list had some cheeky things on there - LCD tv, hifi and the like. I asked them if there was anything they wanted in particular and got told "kitchen stuff". So I got them 50quids worth of Persil. fk 'em, you're supposed to be celebrating their union not opening a branch of John Lewis in their house

I think you are being a bit heartless to be honest.People want to buy gifts for the couple and having a company handle that list for you makes quite good sense really. It also means you can pool money and get things you really need, and so forth.
The problem are these listing companies (and bridal shops for that matter). I'm not an advocate of Govt regulation, but both areas are long overdue for regulation because there are too many of these companies calling in administrators after spending other peoples money. And they (especially the bridal shops) are ruining peoples big day.
Don't solicitors have to put client money aside in separate accounts?
Having said all that, our wedding next year is a strict no presents affair.
Thought the whole idea was to celebrate the coming together of 2 people not become materialistic grabby little s
Maybe they should of thought of getting wedding insurance, they could of then claimed against this, I know me and the wife got insurance for our wedding and we could claim for such an eventuality.

tswe're going to a wedding affected by the "disaster" on saturday, and yes "we" bought a present through these wrappit people.
other half asked me what we should do, and as far as i was concerned it was a bit of a case of "tough st", but i got overuled so we've paid for the same thing twice it would seem.

At least John Lewis is a well established player, and had some of the things we actually wanted. Vouchers have come in very handy too.

Well said.
Weddings should be about people, not fookin toasters.

At last some old fashioned values.Bloody right too, weddings are scarce enough without people having them just to increase their own prosperity. An exchange of honour between two people, and pledged with a simple ring, not a bling thing ring and half of the Argos catalogue - that does not a wedding make
