Cool pranks before giving a gift
Raffles are a very unusual way to give your gift. But a bad prank can ruin the holiday, so be attentive to the details.
- Prank with a broken gift. If you are giving something fragile (for example, a tablet), then take it out of the branded box and fill it with jingling shards. When you give a gift, accidentally drop the box, and after a silent pause, take out the main gift.
- Ask everyone to pretend that they forgot about the holiday, and have a surprise party in the evening.
- Draw with winnings. Ask your friend to play along. Take the birthday boy to the supermarket. Your partner should tell him that he has become a happy customer and is entitled to a present.
- Set all clocks in the house to a few hours later so that the birthday person thinks he is late.
- Act out a robbery.
- Ask a friend to run up to the birthday boy on the street and hand him a gift with the words “you dropped it.”
- Convince everyone to congratulate the birthday person not on his birthday, but on World Microwave Day.
- You can play a prank on the birthday boy by putting the gift in another box. For example, a tablet in a box with a picture of a frying pan. This is a great way to present an original gift in an interesting way.
- Ask someone you know to dress up as a fortune teller and approach the hero of the occasion on the street. The disguised friend must give the impression of a professional fortune teller by saying the name, favorite color and hometown of the birthday person. After this, the fortune teller “feels” that it is the person’s birthday and hands over a gift.
- Without explaining anything, ask the birthday person to come to you urgently.
- Pretend the arrival of the police, who will then hand over the gift.
- There are also companies that will help answer the question of how you can give a gift in an original way and organize an unusual delivery. Such surprises remain in the memory for a long time.

We pass a loop through the center of the ring, pull it tightly into a knot and cut at the bottom. You should get a beautiful thick fringe, which can be given any shape by adjusting with scissors. A stylish gift accessory is ready!
