Gift for Your Dramatic Brother
Looking for a funny gift or joke present for your dramatic 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 dramatic 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.

Gift card + puzzle combos for a gift for your dramatic brother. Click "Choose This Combo" to start creating with that setup.
Match his flair for melodrama with puzzles dramatic enough to warrant the reaction, but not so easy he can't complain properly.
Grid Treasure Hunt
He'll need to quietly concentrate instead of narrating every single thought. A fashion gift card means he'll survive the ordeal beautifully.
A proper challenge. Expect 10-30 minutes of puzzling.
Word Quest
Quick enough that he can't build it into an epic saga, but still requires actual effort instead of performative suffering.
A gentle warm-up. Expect 5-15 minutes of puzzling.
Grid Treasure Hunt
Watching him struggle in silence will be delicious. The gaming gift makes it worth his while to skip the theatrics and just focus.
Frustration guaranteed. Could take 30-90 minutes.
Word Quest
Maximum petty for maximum drama. He'll create an entire character arc around this puzzle, and frankly, we're here for the entertainment.
Maximum suffering. 2-5 hours of pure struggle.
Make Drama King Work For It
Because sometimes the best gift is watching them turn a simple puzzle into a three-act play. Popcorn not included but highly recommended.
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:
Present it in front of the whole family at Sunday dinner. Maximum audience for maximum dramatic irony.
The perfect line when handing it over:
“Got you something that requires a touch of quiet focus. You'll be fine.”
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:
“Try to solve this one without declaring it impossible in the first minute.”
“Not everything needs a theatrical monologue. Just click the tiles, darling.”
“The neighbors can probably hear you. Then again, that's rather on-brand for you.”
“Well done. Only three existential crises and two proclamations of giving up forever.”
