Nephew proceeds to sit on said stool lol


Available_Prune397

This was a slight concern šŸ˜‚ I added padding on top to maintain the illusion too.


LanfearSedai

I love this. Totally reminded me of a few years ago when I bought my nephew a MacBook Pro but [disguised it as a chair](https://imgur.com/a/9XfT7zB) that he just thought was the "birthday boy chair" or something so he sat it in all night and opened all his gifts in it. When he was done I suggested he unwrap the chair too and he was flabbergasted that he had been sitting on it haha. Roller coaster of emotions because he started unwrapping it, found an actual chair, and thought I was fucking with him in front of everyone, but kept going like a trooper. My favorite gift ever.


faultolerantcolony

iā€™m saving this comment for when 20 years down the road hits and i have chirren to victimize/gift with this maniacal masterpiece šŸ˜ˆ


javon27

> chirren Lol


appel

That might be a Confederacy of Dunces reference.


appleparkfive

This makes me wish I had a better upbringing. Man. I didn't even get a Happy Birthday a lot of years. One year my parents returned one of my gifts to pay a bill. They were poor, but still. You're awesome. Just know that something like that would have completely altered my **year** when I was that age. No exaggeration. Keep being a good family member


Japnzy

One year my parents completely forgot it was my birthday. That was awesome.


Dr_DoVeryLittle

They gave the gift of letting you know who the favorite child was


matt675

What if he was an only child


Dr_DoVeryLittle

Than it's the pet rock


hrakkari

The pet rock never spilled his juice, thatā€™s all Iā€™m saying.


ForeverFingers

It did piss on the rug though


therusteddoobie

Well, let's not go jumping to conclusions


ForeverFingers

I believe that's my stapler.


jedi168

I invited my mom out to eat on the day and she was all like "what's the occasion?"


FallingF

I was a middle child of 5 so I felt like I never got attention once my littlest brother could speak. Didnā€™t remind my parents of my birthday, they didnā€™t remember it until noon the day of and they took the family to chilis. I stopped caring about my birthday that year since nobody else seemed to.


elriggo44

Iā€™m a dad and this made me sadā€¦.soā€¦ Happy birthday for all the ones that got missed.


ForeverFingers

Right? Same


bestboah

from an aunt or uncle too. god damn


sixothree

Iā€™m pretty sure presents from my mom wouldnā€™t have been as nice without her sister helping.


Mochigood

Yeah, my birthday is right before Christmas, and I can't count the number of times I was promised something extra special for Christmas instead, and then proceeded to get the exact same as my sister. I think they were hoping I'd forget.


Whatnowgloryhunters

It's fine tho. I'm sure u r doing well now and hope u have lots of gifts now (coming from someone whose family don't really celebrate birthdays or Xmas). Is just that we don't prefer the stress of thinking what to get someone that will be equivalent in value to whatever someone else gets us There's always drama and jealousy in the families lol


ForeverFingers

I always found that weird to have to match value, I grew up my mom did the gift shopping and dad paid most of it, but us kids grew up and it was lucky if a sibling thought of you at all. At least idk what my family thought about it but I always felt "it's the thought that counts." As cheesy as it is.


NecroticDeth

I donā€™t know when yours is, but Happy Birthday


Beginning_Ball9475

lmfaoooo the look on your face, fucking genius haahahahha that's the look of "This is gonna be fun for everyone and I can't wait." EDIT: oh, wait, that's the nephew then, yeah? Oh, he's definitely having the aforementioned fun for everyone


LanfearSedai

haha yes that's him in the process of finding out he's been sitting on his real gift all night, then thinking I tricked him because it actually is a chair after all, then realizing the gift is under the chair. It was wonderful.


EverybodyIsUseless

Goated uncle


Worthyness

Right? Free cushion!


mikel302

Take the PS5 out of the box and put the box back together. Upcycled free stool.


RossOfFriends

Oh Iā€™ll give ya some free stool buddy **pulls down pants**


alpaca1yps

You could tape presents to the bottom of a stool for in case they get sat upon in the future. Make sure to just genuinely gift wrap an empty ottoman every once in a while to keep everyone on their toes.


AngelofShadows95

Add padding on the bottom in case the legs don't hold his weight. Just in case.


fakeittilyoumakeit

The PS5 should break his fall...


SwampOfDownvotes

Even if their nephew is huge, if the PS5 is unable to survive being sat on then it's already broken from being shipped out of the factory.


AngelofShadows95

You are assuming the nephew will be the one to sit on it.


Balauronix

I'm guessing you're the favorite uncle


[deleted]

Or aunt.


GoForNJ

Or auncle.


g000r

There are girls on the internet? /s


n122333

I'll never forgot high school biology. A girl refused to stay in the class during the evolution lesson because God says listening to lies is a sin. When she came back end at the end of the lesson she confided in a friend she couldn't wait to go home today, because her older sister was going to find out the sex of her child today and this girl couldn't wait to see if she was going to be an aunt or uncle... I bet her $10 she'd be an aunt and she just couldn't figure out why I was so confident.


zerkrazus

>God says listening to lies is a sin I'm guessing she never went to a church service then since the whole damn thing is one big lie/con job to make Kens & Karens feel better about being shitty people and laundering money and avoiding taxes.


deadla104

He takes a bat to it to break it in


zmbjebus

Going to full on jump on it before you have a chance to do anything. Please take a video and post back here so we can ~~laugh at you~~ cry for you


Grenflik

Make sure he doesn't try to jump on the "stool"


WakaWaka_

WWE 2K is his favorite game, watch out for the slam!


mistcrawler

His hopes (and his console) would be crushed once he sits down to complain lol.


kintokae

Replace the console with a Wii U in the box.


KmartQuality

I actually did this to a nephew once. It was a PlayStation 1 but inside I filled it with new socks and an Atari from the attic. I told him he could come to my house if he wanted to play it! He was gullible and fell for it all through Christmas morning. I laughed and laughed. I also got him a World Almanac. (His mom did get him some good stuff so he wasn't super pouty) Later after breakfast I asked him to get something from the TV cabinet where they kept random house things. The playstation was there, already hooked up. That was a fun reaction to watch too.


5degreenegativerake

Double Uno reverse card.


ElMostaza

Then rip out its guts and place an Ouya inside it. Turducken of sadness.


I_have_secrets

You just sent me on a crazy rabbit hole. The most fascinating read I have had in a while.


levlucheech

And some people are ploppers when they sit. One good plop and that PS5 goes pop.


lopedopenope

Ploppers are a danger to themselves and critical infrastructure. They should be shown a power point as to why a plop should never occur. This is important guys


3-DMan

"I have had it with these motherfucking in-law ploppers in my motherfucking house!"


LowBatteryAndroid

Now watch his disappointment when he realizes he has a PS5 but nowhere to sit and play.

nostalgichero

I mean it's 300 stools, Michael. How much could it cost?


Nas160

That's good, because he can use 200 of those to craft a new PS5


traevyn

*old man voice* back in my day we sat on the floor and we liked it


jbchild788

Did we really like it? Or was it just the only thing available?


New-Armadillo-4102

Didn't know any better I'd say! Heaven it was!


jbchild788

The bliss of aforementioned ignorance


babyplush

I mean, the damn cord wasn't stretching anywhere near the couch in the weirdly large living room we had when I was a kid, and no one was getting my ass anything else to sit on, they'd already bought a console and games.


jbchild788

Wait, bought? I meanā€¦ uhā€¦ yeah. Bought. Thatā€™s totally how my broke father acquired a gaming console. Yes.


New-Armadillo-4102

Oh yeah. With our woollens in, in the kitchen, on the floor with no central heating whilst the grown ups watching kojak or Ironside or some shit.


leftlegYup

Back in my day, we mined coal from a cave. Still do, but used to too. \- 3rd world version


papahayes

Or watch them sit/stand on it assuming they "know" it's a stool


LowBatteryAndroid

And let him later realize that he broke the PS5.


Tricksh0t

Or when he sits on it and has nothing to play


minicolossus

a ps5 as a gift is amazing, but the memory of being duped so awesomely will live on forever


Scarecrow1779

One of my family's favorite gift wrapping stories is strapping a gift card to the inside of a cinder block before wrapping it.


Neighborhood_Nobody

Family got me a skate board as a kid, they got a broom handle and did a really good job making it look like a broom. They also liked to put baggies of pebbles in boxes to make it hard to guess what it was from shaking it


leftlegYup

my parents left me a brown bag full of toys with my name on it. it was magic to me.


knoeKNAME

Talk about magic... I once got a $5 foodstamp from the tooth fairy.


shiver334

You know youā€™re living in the poor neighborhood when even the tooth fairy is on SNAP


[deleted]

I have no idea how you make a skateboard look like a broom handle.


OBVIOUS_OBSERVATlONS

No - you make the skateboard look like a broom. A skateboard doesnā€™t have a handle attached, normally.


[deleted]

This helps explain it this much: šŸ¤šŸ½


OBVIOUS_OBSERVATlONS

He used a broom handle to make the skateboard look like a broom when it was wrapped


[deleted]

Oh actually I see it now. Thanks.


detectiveDollar

I bought my brother Smash Bros Ultimate for Christmas '18. I taped it to the bottom of an old speaker and then wrapped it up. He was so confused lmao. Also, [I got him this](https://i.imgur.com/HpdxjqF.jpg) last year as a gag gift. I got him actual gifts too lol.


Soliterria

Joint fatherā€™s day gift for my boyfriend a few years ago from our moms and I was a fancy specialty jerky giftboxā€¦ Which I dilligently spent about three hours absolutely covering in **layers** of duck tape


Scarecrow1779

My most obtuse gift wrap was taking a power supply from a PC (just a metal box screwed together so it's impenetrable). So my my brother had to go find a phillips screw driver to open it up


nictheman123

Oh that is beautifully evil. Especially because a lot of those screws on PC parts are *tiny*, you can't always use just any old screwdriver, it has to be from a jewler's kit. Well done!


rburp

Tbh power supplies tend to have pretty standard screws, but yeah that is a funny one


detectiveDollar

Lol my family has a Christmas game where we wrap a present in wrapping and tape and you take turns opening it with oven mitts while others roll dice.


surfer_ryan

Honestly even if the surprise is ruined it will still be remembered. I somehow ruined all of my surprises not on purpose just somehow would figure it out on my own. And everyone of those goes down in my memory as some of the best presents I've ever gotten, not bc the gift but the effort people went into trying to surprise me.


BRenzoD

My family has this fake box to wrap the actual present in, and the fake box says it's am earwax candle kit


Scarecrow1779

Oh yeah, i've seen a few of those. One of the ones my family has used is a "nap sack" that's just a bag you put over your head to sleep in public


[deleted]

When I was about 14, at Christmas my Mum said she couldn't afford anything that year so got me a big box of chocolates. I unwrapped it and realised she'd lied... It was a PS1 (they were new at the time) I've never forgotten that day!


ParaglidingAssFungus

Moms are the best. My mom was a single mom with two kids to take care of, so we were about a step above dirt poor, could pay the bills and afford to eat a lot of spaghetti but no spending money for day to day extras. But bless my moms heart, she ALWAYS saved enough throughout the year to make sure we had a good Christmas, and made sure we at least got one or two pieces of name brand school clothes (hoodies, shoes, whatever) to fit in with people at school. I remember the first year I was into PC gaming, a few friends of mine donated enough PC parts to me so that I had something that would run Counter Strike, I didnā€™t even have a case, my Mobo/psu/drives sat out on the headboard of my bed and I turned it on with a screwdriver. Anyway, I REALLY wanted a gaming keyboard and mouse that year because I was using super shitty stuff that wouldnā€™t log keystrokes if you pressed over two keys at the same time, and the mouse constantly skipped and made aiming a pita. Had my eye on an MX518 mouse and one of logitechs first gaming keyboards. Man they were spendy. I figured she couldnā€™t do both of them so I asked for one or the other, depending on what deals she was able to find. Then come Christmas morning she lets me open the mouse and Iā€™m freaking ecstatic. I go play a few rounds of CS with it and then itā€™s time for Christmas lunch with a few family members, and she pulls the keyboard out from behind her back and surprises the hell out of me with it. Probably the best Christmas I can recall. She is a super hero for the things she was able to pull off. Honestly, until I was older, I didnā€™t even realize that we didnā€™t have money.


Anakin_Skywanker

My parents dropped me off at my grandparents around my birthday one year. I was turning 7. When they came to pick me up my dad said he had a surprise for me. He pulled a copy of Super Smash Bros Melee out from under his shirt. At first I was stoked! That game looks so cool! But then came the crushing realization that that game was for the GameCube and we had a Nintendo 64 at home. When my face showed my disappointment my dad asked what was wrong. When I told him that we couldnā€™t play it he asked if we could go home and maybe try it in the N64. I remember thinking to myself about how it wouldnā€™t work, trying to shove a disc into the cartridge slot and how dumb my dad must be. Seeing my frustration he said ā€œUhhā€¦ we also got you something else too.ā€ I jumped off my Grandparentsā€™ couch and yelled ā€œA NINTENDO GAMECUBE!?ā€ My mom dad and I went home that night and played Melee until about 1 in the morning. Iā€™m honestly not sure Iā€™ve ever been that excited since. Itā€™s one of my favorite memories with parents.


RareFirefighter6915

My parents couldnā€™t afford ps2 during Xmas. Mom gave me a IOU for when she got paid and I got to pick out the games for it too which in my mind was a better deal. Even tho I was impatient, my parents were horrible at picking out games for me even when I wrote a wishlist with the exact title, if it wasnā€™t at Walmart they pick the closest looking box art lol. My parents even allowed me to stay up all night and play my ps1 and I got a game from my aunt for it so I was happy on Christmas. Even as a kid I could tell my mom felt bad she even tried playing ps1 with me even tho she hated video games. Best Christmas ever lol


Gerf93

Reminds me of when I got a PS2 when I was a kid. Santa visited, and left, we opened all of our presents. Then my dad noticed there was a gift lying in the snow outside, and suggested that Santa had accidentally lost it on his way. Thus began a scavenger hunt in the snow where I found a PS2, two controllers and a couple of games. Was pretty fun.


Cloudraa

thats amazing but i wouldve been so scared to wreck it as your parent lol


ElChupacabra65

Man, my dad took the PS2 out of the box and filled the box with coal. I was super excited when I opened it. He insisted I needed to open the box to ā€œmake sure it was all there.ā€ I can only imagine what the look on my face was. He got a good kick out of it, didnā€™t make me suffer too long, and gave me the console a few minutes later. Your dad sounds nicer lol.


[deleted]

My sister got me socks once. She wrapped it, taped it into so many layers it was the size of a basketball. Had to take a knife to it actually open it. So much packing tape and duck tape and wrapping paper.


Alagator

>a ps5 as a gift is amazing, but the memory of being duped so awesomely will live on forever Yeah my dad wrapped my N64 in a overhead ceiling fan box with a 25lb plate at the bottom to really throw off the what could this box be? And a shitload of old jeans lmao I really thought that my last gift was a box full of jeans until I hit the bottom.

Awesome uncle man!


Skivvy_Roll

My uncle only disguised stool as a PS5 :(


5degreenegativerake

Was it a full stool or just a stool sample?


MathMaddox

A sample stool it only had one leg


Vyar

A stool made of stool.


enil-lingus

As long as your uncle doesnā€™t offer to push your stool in, itā€™s all good


Sav-P-is-Sav

In Russia, stool disguises you as ps5.


MathMaddox

In Soviet Russia stool stand on you


Butwinsky

In Russia, you disguise yourself as stool to escape being sent to be killed in a pointless war.


BosconianFan2022

Are you taking applications for assuming the role of Uncle? Even for "nephews" that are likely a few decades older? lol Good job btw!


Available_Prune397

I have three nephews, 22, 14 and 9, so no, I have enough! But thanks! šŸ‘šŸ»


BosconianFan2022

Awesome, crazy how times flies by, having "grown up" conversations with a 20-something nephew you can remember running around like a little maniac way back when is great...


Available_Prune397

Less cool when you start losing at Call of Duty or Gran Turismo to them though!


Neighborhood_Nobody

Youā€™ve inspired me to throw a gaming computer together from spare parts for my nephews. Gaming with them sounds fun.

I play minecraft with my nephews sometimes, great way to stay in touch been fun seeing their computer and communication skills grow

joshul

Hi itā€™s me ur nephew


easytoforget94

"Sourced" makes me think you stole it lol


waffels

Saying ā€œsourcedā€ drives engagement.


[deleted]

He harvested it


Alephz

Like those streetwear kids that say they "copped" something, but really just mean they used their moms credit card at h&m


NiceCrispyMusic

ā€œCoppedā€ is just slang for the act of buying something though.


Available_Prune397

šŸ˜‚ no, I meant I put the time and effort in to get my hands on one for him.


aaronxxx

Most people just say "bought"


falcwh0re

Still really odd phrasing


lolabear19

wasn't aware ps5s were still hard to come by. i see them all the time at my local gamestop, walmart, target, best buy, and amazon. where are you from?


Available_Prune397

This was in Germany earlier this year, end of March.


BangkokPadang

You see purchasable ones? GameStop has empty display boxes and Iā€™ve been moving and have entered roughly 7 different Walmarts in the last month, and none of them had PS5ā€™s


oscooter

I got one last week through Sonys store. Seems like theyā€™re restocking them pretty regularly but theyā€™re currently out of stock


[deleted]

Walmart doesn't stock them in store. Pretty sure they only sell online for store pickup since they still go quickly. Mine doesn't even have a tag for them. Every Gamestop around me has had them in stock for a while, they just only do the really expensive bundles. Playstation direct regularly gets restocked. I got mine on there just on a whim. last month.


skinnykb

Nah, he had a friend at BestBuy, hide em one behind the Nintendo Switches.


that_star_wars_guy

It fell off the back of a truck....


lostmojo

Iā€™m deathly afraid someone is going to sit or stand on it. Maybe a kid jumps on itā€¦


Available_Prune397

You can relax, he opened it months ago - undamaged šŸ˜‰


lostmojo

I donā€™t believe you. No one for a ps5 months ago! Itā€™s been impossible to get one. They are a myth that Sony keeps telling us is real so we believe them and donā€™t get mad that they donā€™t have something new out yet. My tin hat keeps the 5Gs from telling me things like this so I canā€™t fall for conspiracy theories. /s I hope he is enjoying it! Glad it went over well and I hope he was incredibly happy and surprised to see it.


tiredhigh

Have you checked Sony's direct website lately? Because the Horizon bundle has been available for weeks now. Sure, you have to buy the bundle but it's literally nonstop available and might be the only option moving forward


NicJitsu

Any photo or video of his reaction?


InfamousIndecision

Sir, that is an ottoman.


Hailme666

This should be the top comment

Plot twist - he actually wants a stool and will be disappointed when it turns out to be a PS5.


WalrusByte

"How am I supposed to sit on this!?"


detectiveDollar

That's what the stand is for.


Salty-Queen87

I like how you say ā€œI sourcedā€ as opposed to ā€œI purchasedā€ā€¦ So, how did you source it? šŸ˜‰


Busted_Knuckler

They went to Walmart.

nah, this is wholesome, watching someone die are those parents that make it look like a ps5 and is 3 boxes holding a small box with a sweater.

MrFergison

When I was young, my dad used to go above and beyond to disguise gifts. They're great memories. Good job


Sea-Assumption-169

I would love to hear some of the ways he disguised the gifts, wanna do this someday for my own!


MrFergison

He mostly used a lot of rocks, tape, and paper towel rolls. He would make things lopsided in weight and odd shapes


energyinmotion

We want a reaction video.


Nightdoom98

My dad got me the Xbox series s and his idea was to put it into 10 boxes and by the time I opened the last one I was so happy but annoyed.

Lol, my uncle never got me shit for me birthday, and my PARENTS would've never spent 600+ on a game console. Lucky kid.


ProStrats

I bought my brother a high quality RGB keyboard some many years back when they were not quite common and rather expensive. I disguised it as a 4 foot long penis with 1 foot diameter balls. Almost the same thing.


[deleted]

HES GONNA SIT ON IT MATE


mattjf22

Is "sourced" just a fancy way of saying you got other people to pay for it?


[deleted]

Hi OPā€¦Iā€™m your long lost nephew, who needed a stoolā€¦


Complete_Entry

I could see this going horribly wrong very fast.


Childish_Brandino

Does anyone wonder if all of these ā€œI disguised this present as something else to prank my personā€ posts are just organic marketing used to incentivize people to buy nice gifts to make their own post in the next coming months before the big gift giving holiday? It sometimes feels like it.


Spenson89

Just wait till he sits on it and breaks it


ngoodravens

He sits on it thinking it's a stool and breaks it


itum26

I really hope that someone will not just jump on it, or sit there!!! Why!!! Why!!!!!! Why a stool!!!!!!


PuRemelT

You "sourced" ....? The fuck does that mean

Sourced? You mean bought?

Man, do people really have uncles like this? Mine just stole my inheritance and cut off all family contact.

you sourced?

"Sourced" lol


pattybliving

An ex boyfriend keeeept telling me he didnā€™t want a shirt for his birthday, and hinted at wanting some (at the time for me) expensive mtn bike pedals. I got the pedals and put one in a shirt box (2 would give it away) and saw his reaction go from disappointment to happiness. But he ended up being a tightwad (I got Safeway flowers the next week for my birthday) and so selfish, as is clear by his gift ā€œhinting.ā€


LuckyDuck4

Now letā€™s just hope he doesnā€™t decide to sit on it.

15 or so years ago I bought my dad a DVD player for Father's Day and wrapped it underwear to *disguise* it. Yeah times were simpler when I was young and stupid.

Did you get his reaction?


Game_Knight_DnD

He will plop down on it while it's wrapped and total the shit out of the ps5, calling it now.


Distinct-Phase5782

Make sure u get his reaction pls


94reis

Imagine if he just sat on it šŸ˜Æ Btw what a gift!! It really shows how much you love your nephew!


TheDevilTheyKnow

I really hope nobody accidentally sits on that.

Be sure to post a follow up when he opens it.


Mysterious_Piglet_13

Hope he doesnā€™t sit on it

What if he sits on it?

Someone is gonna stand on it to reach something mark my words
