The cheekiest gift cards

Gift for Your Forgetful Sister

Looking for a funny gift or joke present for your forgetful 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 forgetful 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.

ASOS
Medium

Grid Treasure Hunt

Perfect for someone who forgets what she ordered online anyway. She'll have to actually remember each grid coordinate.

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

Costa
Easy

Word Quest

A coffee she desperately needs for her scattered brain, but she has to focus long enough to earn it first.

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

Boots
Hard

Grid Treasure Hunt

She's constantly losing her essentials. Make her work hard to replace them while tracking multiple clues simultaneously.

Frustration guaranteed. Could take 30-90 minutes.

Deliveroo
Extreme

Word Quest

She forgets to eat half the time anyway. Maximum difficulty means she'll actually have to concentrate for once in her life.

Maximum suffering. 2-5 hours of pure struggle.

Make Her Actually Remember Something

The sweet satisfaction of watching her struggle to keep track of clues. Finally, consequences for all those forgotten birthdays and lost items.

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 sister:

Present it at family dinner when she inevitably asks 'what was I just saying?' for the third time.

The perfect line when handing it over:

You might want to write down where you put this one, actually.

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

Try not to forget what you're doing halfway through, yeah?

When struggling

If only you could remember where you put that one clue.

When raging

Should I text you a reminder about why you're even doing this?

When finishing

You actually remembered to finish something. I'm genuinely impressed.
