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 brother:
Wait until he's having a winning streak at something, then present it with a casual 'Got you something special, champion.'
The perfect line when handing it over:
“Thought you deserved a gift you could actually earn for once.”
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:
“Finally, a competition you haven't already declared yourself winner of. Refreshing, isn't it?”
“Strange how difficult things get when you can't just make up the rules.”
“Don't worry, I won't add this to your permanent record of losses.”
“Only took you that long? You're losing your edge, mate.”
