The cheekiest gift cards

Gift for Your Annoying Brother

Looking for a funny gift or joke present for your annoying brother? Here's an idea: don't just give them a gift card. Make them work for it.

What Is a Joke Gift Card?

PettyPresent lets you send real gift cards wrapped in puzzle games. Your brother receives a link, but they have to solve the puzzle before they can see their gift card code. A novelty present with real value.

Perfect for your annoying brother. The gift card is real - they get full value once they complete the puzzle. You choose the difficulty from Easy to Extreme. A funny gift that's actually useful.

PlayStation

Grid Treasure Hunt

He borrowed your console without asking for years. Now he can work properly hard to buy his own games for once.

Frustration guaranteed. Could take 30-90 minutes.

Amazon
Medium

Word Quest

Perfect for someone who gives terrible advice constantly. Let's see him figure out actual words instead of nonsense for a change.

A proper challenge. Expect 10-30 minutes of puzzling.

Deliveroo
Extreme

Grid Treasure Hunt

Made you buy him food countless times. Now he'll spend hours earning a single meal. Poetic justice at its finest, really.

Maximum suffering. 2-5 hours of pure struggle.

Spotify
Easy

Word Quest

His music taste embarrassed you publicly enough times. A quick puzzle feels almost too generous, but someone's feeling charitable today.

A gentle warm-up. Expect 5-15 minutes of puzzling.

Make Your Brother Actually Earn It

Years of borrowing your stuff, embarrassing you publicly, and giving awful advice. Finally, a gift that gives back: the satisfaction of watching him struggle.

How to Present the Gift

Half the fun of a joke gift is the presentation. You can send the puzzle link by text or email, but for maximum impact, consider presenting it in person so you can watch their reaction in real-time.

Here's a suggested approach for revealing the gag gift to your brother:

Present it at a family gathering where everyone can watch the struggle unfold. Maximum audience for maximum embarrassment.

The perfect line when handing it over:

Thought you'd enjoy earning your gift for once. You're welcome.

Things to Say While They're Playing

If you're watching them play the puzzle (which we highly recommend), you'll want some good lines ready for different moments. Here are some suggestions for each stage of their struggle:

When starting

Oh brilliant, you've actually opened it. Let's see how long this takes.

When struggling

Maybe if you'd paid attention in school instead of annoying me, this'd be easier.

When raging

Deep breaths now. Wouldn't want you throwing a tantrum like the good old days.

When finishing

Only took you that long? Must've been easier than I thought. Shame.
