To all you class clowns and pranksters out there — conjured up your April Fools’ joke yet? No? We’ve got a suggestion for you: send a glitter bomb greeting card to your friends (the ones who really love you and will forgive you each time they find shiny particles in their hair over the next week or so). Alternatively, you could target an obnoxious colleague, or dole out a sparkling surprise to a frenemy.
This messy gag is the brainchild of gift marketplace MerryMakr.com, which offers you three options: Sparkle ($6.99 for 5g of gold glitter), Illuminate ($9.99 for 10g) and Super Nova ($12.99 for 15g).
So how does it work? Each card innocently features the words ‘Specially For You’ on the outside and comes fitted with a special contraption that shoots shimmer into the air — once it’s opened, there’s no going back.
You can choose to send your delivery anonymously or include a personal handwritten message on the inside. Just beware the consequences of revealing your identity. Payback may take the form of 100 glitter bombs next year.
From now till Apr 1, you get a free Sparkle glitter bomb with any purchase on MerryMakr.
