Jimmy Kimmel pranks unwitting shoppers at holiday gift-wrapping stand

Dec 22, 2016, 11:52 AM

When you’re out shopping for holiday gifts, a gift-wrapping stand can be an incredibly welcome sight.

You’ve been running from store to store all day, have yet to throw together dinner plans and still have to wrap everything you’ve just bought. It can be a stressful time of year.

That’s why the gift-wrapping stand can save the day. Your items are wrapped by a pro, look great and it saves you time. Plus, most of them are free or accept small donations for charity, so what’s not to love?

Three shoppers in California found out what happens when one of those stands goes wrong, courtesy of late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel.

The prank is pretty simple: Kimmel’s cousin, Sal, runs the worst gift-wrapping stand ever.

And we do mean ever.

Watch the video above to see what we’re talking about.
