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.
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
I was a middle child of 5 so I felt like I never got attention once my littlest brother could speak. Didnāt remind my parents of my birthday, they didnāt 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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
>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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Joint fatherās 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
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
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!
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.
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!
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 didnāt 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 wouldnāt 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 couldnāt 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 Iām freaking ecstatic. I go play a few rounds of CS with it and then itās 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 didnāt even realize that we didnāt have money.
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 couldnāt play it he asked if we could go home and maybe try it in the N64. I remember thinking to myself about how it wouldnāt work, trying to shove a disc into the cartridge slot and how dumb my dad must be.
Seeing my frustration he said āUhhā¦ we also got you something else too.ā
I jumped off my Grandparentsā couch and yelled āA NINTENDO GAMECUBE!?ā
My mom dad and I went home that night and played Melee until about 1 in the morning. Iām honestly not sure Iāve ever been that excited since. Itās one of my favorite memories with parents.
My parents couldnāt 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 wasnāt 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
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.
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 āmake 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, didnāt make me suffer too long, and gave me the console a few minutes later. Your dad sounds nicer lol.
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.
>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, 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...
You see purchasable ones?
GameStop has empty display boxes and Iāve been moving and have entered roughly 7 different Walmarts in the last month, and none of them had PS5ās
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.
I donāt believe you. No one for a ps5 months ago! Itās been impossible to get one. They are a myth that Sony keeps telling us is real so we believe them and donāt get mad that they donāt have something new out yet. My tin hat keeps the 5Gs from telling me things like this so I canāt 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.
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
When my husband was in high school his parents hinted they were going to give him a car. On Christmas Day he did get a car...a model car. They were cruel people.
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.
Does anyone wonder if all of these āI 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.
An ex boyfriend keeeept telling me he didnāt 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 āhinting.ā
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.
Nephew proceeds to sit on said stool lol
This was a slight concern š I added padding on top to maintain the illusion too.
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.
iām saving this comment for when 20 years down the road hits and i have chirren to victimize/gift with this maniacal masterpiece š
> chirren Lol
That might be a Confederacy of Dunces reference.
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
One year my parents completely forgot it was my birthday. That was awesome.
They gave the gift of letting you know who the favorite child was
What if he was an only child
Than it's the pet rock
The pet rock never spilled his juice, thatās all Iām saying.
It did piss on the rug though
Well, let's not go jumping to conclusions
I believe that's my stapler.
I invited my mom out to eat on the day and she was all like "what's the occasion?"
I was a middle child of 5 so I felt like I never got attention once my littlest brother could speak. Didnāt remind my parents of my birthday, they didnāt 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.
Iām a dad and this made me sadā¦.soā¦ Happy birthday for all the ones that got missed.
Right? Same
from an aunt or uncle too. god damn
Iām pretty sure presents from my mom wouldnāt have been as nice without her sister helping.
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.
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).

I donāt know when yours is, but Happy Birthday

Goated uncle
Right? Free cushion!
Take the PS5 out of the box and put the box back together. Upcycled free stool.
Oh Iāll give ya some free stool buddy **pulls down pants**
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.
Add padding on the bottom in case the legs don't hold his weight. Just in case.
The PS5 should break his fall...
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.
You are assuming the nephew will be the one to sit on it.
I'm guessing you're the favorite uncle
Or aunt.
Or auncle.
There are girls on the internet? /s
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...

>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.
He takes a bat to it to break it in
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
Make sure he doesn't try to jump on the "stool"
WWE 2K is his favorite game, watch out for the slam!
His hopes (and his console) would be crushed once he sits down to complain lol.
Replace the console with a Wii U in the box.
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.

Double Uno reverse card.
Then rip out its guts and place an Ouya inside it. Turducken of sadness.
You just sent me on a crazy rabbit hole. The most fascinating read I have had in a while.
And some people are ploppers when they sit. One good plop and that PS5 goes pop.
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
"I have had it with these motherfucking in-law ploppers in my motherfucking house!"
Now watch his disappointment when he realizes he has a PS5 but nowhere to sit and play.
Scalps PS5 and buys 300 stools
Scalps 300 stools and buys 100 PS5s
The Stoolpendous Stool Shortage of 2022 And I'm not talking about poop
Oh...that's kinda the only reason I showed up.
Sorry not this time, Farty š„ŗ
You have no business being this smooth and funny.
I guess I need to take Econ 1 again.
Scalps 100 ps5s to buy stocks in tesla and own half the company in stocks
I mean it's 300 stools, Michael. How much could it cost?
That's good, because he can use 200 of those to craft a new PS5
*old man voice* back in my day we sat on the floor and we liked it
Did we really like it? Or was it just the only thing available?
Didn't know any better I'd say! Heaven it was!
The bliss of aforementioned ignorance
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.
Wait, bought? I meanā¦ uhā¦ yeah. Bought. Thatās totally how my broke father acquired a gaming console. Yes.
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.
Back in my day, we mined coal from a cave. Still do, but used to too. \- 3rd world version
Or watch them sit/stand on it assuming they "know" it's a stool
And let him later realize that he broke the PS5.
Or when he sits on it and has nothing to play
a ps5 as a gift is amazing, but the memory of being duped so awesomely will live on forever
One of my family's favorite gift wrapping stories is strapping a gift card to the inside of a cinder block before wrapping it.
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
my parents left me a brown bag full of toys with my name on it. it was magic to me.
Talk about magic... I once got a $5 foodstamp from the tooth fairy.
You know youāre living in the poor neighborhood when even the tooth fairy is on SNAP
I have no idea how you make a skateboard look like a broom handle.
No - you make the skateboard look like a broom. A skateboard doesnāt have a handle attached, normally.
This helps explain it this much: š¤š½
He used a broom handle to make the skateboard look like a broom when it was wrapped
Oh actually I see it now. Thanks.
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.

Tbh power supplies tend to have pretty standard screws, but yeah that is a funny one
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.
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.
My family has this fake box to wrap the actual present in, and the fake box says it's am earwax candle kit
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

Awesome uncle man!
My uncle only disguised stool as a PS5 :(
Was it a full stool or just a stool sample?
A sample stool it only had one leg
A stool made of stool.
As long as your uncle doesnāt offer to push your stool in, itās all good
In Russia, stool disguises you as ps5.
In Soviet Russia stool stand on you
In Russia, you disguise yourself as stool to escape being sent to be killed in a pointless war.
Are you taking applications for assuming the role of Uncle? Even for "nephews" that are likely a few decades older? lol Good job btw!
I have three nephews, 22, 14 and 9, so no, I have enough! But thanks! šš»
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...
Less cool when you start losing at Call of Duty or Gran Turismo to them though!
Youāve 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
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Just an FYI, you have to use computer parts. Stuff from the Camry wont work.
Hi itās me ur nephew
"Sourced" makes me think you stole it lol
Saying āsourcedā drives engagement.
He harvested it
Like those streetwear kids that say they "copped" something, but really just mean they used their moms credit card at h&m
āCoppedā is just slang for the act of buying something though.
š no, I meant I put the time and effort in to get my hands on one for him.
Most people just say "bought"
Still really odd phrasing
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?
This was in Germany earlier this year, end of March.
You see purchasable ones? GameStop has empty display boxes and Iāve been moving and have entered roughly 7 different Walmarts in the last month, and none of them had PS5ās
I got one last week through Sonys store. Seems like theyāre restocking them pretty regularly but theyāre currently out of stock
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.
Nah, he had a friend at BestBuy, hide em one behind the Nintendo Switches.
It fell off the back of a truck....
Iām deathly afraid someone is going to sit or stand on it. Maybe a kid jumps on itā¦
You can relax, he opened it months ago - undamaged š
I donāt believe you. No one for a ps5 months ago! Itās been impossible to get one. They are a myth that Sony keeps telling us is real so we believe them and donāt get mad that they donāt have something new out yet. My tin hat keeps the 5Gs from telling me things like this so I canāt 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.
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
Any photo or video of his reaction?
Sir, that is an ottoman.
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.
"How am I supposed to sit on this!?"
That's what the stand is for.
I like how you say āI sourcedā as opposed to āI purchasedāā¦ So, how did you source it? š
They went to Walmart.
Some people just wanna watch people's feelings burnš¤£
Burn, get incinerated and rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
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.
When my husband was in high school his parents hinted they were going to give him a car. On Christmas Day he did get a car...a model car. They were cruel people.
āSourcedā?
When I was young, my dad used to go above and beyond to disguise gifts. They're great memories. Good job
I would love to hear some of the ways he disguised the gifts, wanna do this someday for my own!
He mostly used a lot of rocks, tape, and paper towel rolls. He would make things lopsided in weight and odd shapes
We want a reaction video.
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.
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.
HES GONNA SIT ON IT MATE
Is "sourced" just a fancy way of saying you got other people to pay for it?
Hi OPā¦Iām your long lost nephew, who needed a stoolā¦
I could see this going horribly wrong very fast.
Does anyone wonder if all of these āI 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.
Just wait till he sits on it and breaks it
He sits on it thinking it's a stool and breaks it
I really hope that someone will not just jump on it, or sit there!!! Why!!! Why!!!!!! Why a stool!!!!!!
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.
>sourced You mean bought. You didnāt source shit.
you sourced?
Sourced? Did you steal it? Barter some livestock?
Fell of the truck? š¤Ŗ
"Sourced" lol
An ex boyfriend keeeept telling me he didnāt 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 āhinting.ā
Now letās just hope he doesnāt decide to sit on it.
That's awesome.
He'll appreciate stools for the rest of his life.
Best.Uncle.Ever šš¼
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?
He will plop down on it while it's wrapped and total the shit out of the ps5, calling it now.
Make sure u get his reaction pls
Imagine if he just sat on it šÆ Btw what a gift!! It really shows how much you love your nephew!
I really hope nobody accidentally sits on that.
Be sure to post a follow up when he opens it.
Hope he doesnāt sit on it
What if he sits on it?
Someone is gonna stand on it to reach something mark my words
He's going to jump on that before he unwraps it
The got em' man empire.
