You usually prepare a present for someone’s birthday, right? But would they notice if that present were actually the recipient’s own personal belongings? At first, it’s funny—“Wait, I already have this!”—but if every single gift that comes out is their own stuff… that means they already own all of it.

It’ll be interesting to see just how confused they get (lol).

Why not try this prank on a friend you’re close enough to visit at home? If they really believe it, it can be pretty shocking, so make sure you have a real present ready at the end!
