Wrapture (n.)

The overwhelming feeling of joy and satisfaction experienced by some people upon receiving a particularly well wrapped present.

Such emotions are thought to be transmitted by the high concentrations of ‘gift vapour’ that may be trapped within the wrapping through the skilful use of brightly coloured paper and sellotape. Less carefully wrapped presents may cause the gift vapour to slowly leak out, generating an air of resigned acceptance—and possibly even hostility—at the time the present is opened.
