What makes a prank gift funny?
The best prank gift plays on humour you already share. Think of the friend who collects ridiculous presents, the sibling who starts every running joke or the adult birthday recipient who would find a cream gift box full of poo more memorable than another mug.
A surprise should feel like a joke between friends. If you are unsure whether someone would enjoy receiving it, choose a different present. Real manure is not a suitable gift for children or someone who may feel intimidated by an anonymous parcel.
Real poo in a box: the unexpected present
Send a Shit offers genuine pig, horse or cow poo, sealed in protective packaging and wrapped as a gift. Each option starts at £24.99 with signature wrapping and UK delivery included. The contrast between the presentation and the contents is the punchline.
This is not edible novelty chocolate or fake plastic poo. Keep the protective packaging sealed; the contents are not intended to be opened, handled or consumed. Choose your animal poo gift on the main order page.
A funny birthday gift with a personal message
Birthday wrapping adds £3 to the base price. If you would rather keep the outside understated, signature wrapping is included, while luxury black wrapping adds £5. Choose a preferred dispatch date and allow time for preparation and delivery before the birthday.
An optional message of up to 180 characters makes the gift feel personal without revealing the sender. Keep it short, playful and recognisable as a joke. For example:
- “Another year older. Still full of it. Happy birthday!”
- “A little something for the friend who already has everything.”
- “You said no more boring presents. Challenge accepted.”
Anonymous surprise or signed joke?
The parcel does not include your sender or billing details. You can sign your message if you want your friend to know who organised it, or leave it unsigned for an anonymous surprise. Avoid identifying details in the note if secrecy is part of the joke.
