It’s especially great when you open them at a party right in front of the cake. Now everyone gets to pick little shiny glitter stars out of there teeth later that night when they are brushing their teeth. Hold on, let me put on some goggles before opening this next one.

I just hate the way that they get everywhere! It’ll be a month after the party, and I’ll still find those glitter things under/in the couch!
Woo. First color strip (sorta)!
huh – i’ve never heard of anyone putting glitter in birthday cards. must be a cultural difference between my part of the world and yours? sounds like it’d be fun to do for my niece tho 🙂
Unfortunatly I think my aunt invented the tradition… birthday cards from her were given special treatment when I was a child
Glitter on cards was bad enough, but when did it become popular to add the plastic bits in the envelope? When it’s my pre-teen nieces and nephews, it’s ok. But the Adult relations are strating to do this, and I want to grab them and say, “Did you spill a summer camp art class in here before you sealed it?”
Glitter is the herpes of the craft world. It goes everywhere, and you can’t get rid of it.
And it infects everything it touches. Glitter everywhere!
My wife knows I hate it and will occasionally get the cards with glitter for me on purpose. Apparently it’s hilarious to watch me hold it by a corner with my thumb and forefinger as if it were toxic.
Same here. I have friends that got me a glitter-filled card once just because they knew I wouldn’t like it. The best birthday gift I ever got from them was a promise not to celebrate my birthday or advertise it in any way.
At least I know if I’m being pursued by enemy fighter jets, I have enough chaff in one envelope to make my getaway easier.
Chaff doesn’t block chaingun barrages, but your comment would make MacGuyver proud.
no matter what i say, my family always insists on giving me those annoying cards that play music. I hate those things, mainly because the songs are so awful it hurts your ears, like Justin beiber.
We would as a prank, wake one of the other operators in the MARS station with the chad bucket from the Teletype. The little (about 2mm) yellow oiled-paper confetti was tough to get out from between the floor tiles, though, and he wasn’t happy about it at all.
