GotchaBox, Real Gift Boxes For Fake Products From The Onion

USB Toaster

Arik Nordby has created the GotchaBox set, a series of realistic gift boxes for fake products, like the one for the USB Toaster, that are being sold by The Onion. The Art of the Prank will be profiling a new GotchaBox each day for the next several days.

Give that special someone a gift that will confuse, disappoint and possibly anger. Give it to them in an Onion GotchaBoxâ„¢. These special gift boxes, printed with fake product graphics and descriptions, hold your actual gifts inside. Your victim will congratulate you (eventually) for providing them an utterly perplexing and wonderfully humbling moment.
