The Foldinator 5000: Sassy Robotic Laundry Folder with Feelings
Gift type: Fake
Estimated Price: £19.99
The Foldinator 5000 is the world's first laundry robot with both folding skills and a passive-aggressive personality. Tired of piling clean clothes on “the chair”? Enter: your new domestic ally — equal parts sass, smarts, and general disappointment in your lifestyle.
It neatly folds t-shirts, jeans, towels, and even that one top you haven’t worn since 2016. But when it comes to fitted sheets? It simply sets them on fire. Because nobody knows how to fold those properly — not even machines.
With multiple folding settings (KonMari Precision, Rage Fold, and ‘That’ll Do’ Mode), a built-in speaker that sighs dramatically, and optional Beyoncé folding playlist, The Foldinator turns chore time into showtime. Comes with a sarcasm toggle (but you’ll never turn it off).

We put The Foldinator 5000 through its paces with three laundry baskets and zero motivation. And friends — it delivered. T-shirts were folded to retail display levels of neatness, socks were matched (and applauded), and jeans? Folded so crisply we felt like better people just looking at them.

The fitted sheet burning feature was... a little dramatic, but we respected the commitment to realism. After all, if we’re not pretending laundry doesn't exist, what are we even doing here?
What we really loved was the entertainment factor. The Foldinator doesn’t just fold — it performs. With a little speaker that makes bored noises and sarcastic remarks, folding day is now *fun* (or at least bearable). Bonus: it doesn’t judge your choice to fold laundry at 2am while bingeing period dramas. It just *folds*. Then tells you to get your life together.
