Looking for a funny gift or joke present for your cheap sister? 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 sister 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 cheap sister. 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.

Grid Treasure Hunt
She spends hours hunting Clubcard deals anyway, so she can invest that same energy hunting for her actual gift card code.
A proper challenge. Expect 10-30 minutes of puzzling.
Word Quest
After years of her bragging about discount codes and sale shopping, she can work properly hard to unlock an actual treat for once.
Frustration guaranteed. Could take 30-90 minutes.
Grid Treasure Hunt
She'd normally bring a flask to save money, so a quick puzzle is fair payment for actual purchased coffee.
A gentle warm-up. Expect 5-15 minutes of puzzling.
Word Quest
Perfect revenge for every time she's made you wait while she compared prices across seventeen websites before buying anything.
Maximum suffering. 2-5 hours of pure struggle.
Make Her Earn That Bargain
Finally, a gift that delivers the satisfaction of watching her work as hard for this as she does hunting discount codes.
Create Your Gag GiftHow 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 sister:
Present it at a family dinner when she's bragging about her latest bargain finds, ideally with witnesses to appreciate the irony.
The perfect line when handing it over:
“Thought you'd appreciate something that really makes you work for the value.”
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:
“Don't worry, the gift card inside is worth every second. Allegedly.”
“Funny how you're willing to spend hours for a bargain now.”
“Think of all the money you're saving by not paying someone else to solve it.”
“Only took you three hours. That's brilliant value for money, that is.”
