Before you send one

  • Scoops, on every tube here

    Each of these six asks for one, two or three large scoops. The larger choices cost more on the product page.

  • A note, only where it is offered

    Good Luck, Let It Snow, Happy Birthday and the Original include a custom message and a sticker choice. Surprise and the paper confetti reveal do not.

  • The fill is named

    Glitter, paper confetti or plastic balls. The product title and page say which, and Surprise is not glitter.

  • Postage is chosen there

    The price on this page is the product price. Standard or express postage is selected on the product page.

What Etsy buyers say

Looks good so far! It’s a Secret Santa Christmas gift so I can’t actually see it go off for a while so can’t comment on the effect.

Came packed well and went off perfectly. So much glitter everywhere. The look on their face made it completely worth it. Would buy again.

What customers say

Feedback from people who have sent a Glitter Bombs prank.

Sent one to my brother at work. His colleague filmed him opening it and he just sat there staring at his keyboard for a solid five seconds. Worth it.

Jamie P.

My sister opened it thinking it was a normal birthday card. She called me an idiot and then rang our mum to tell her about it. So I think she liked it.

Sophie H.

The spring actually made me jump and I knew what was coming. My mate had absolutely no chance 😂

Callum R.

Got the snowflake one for my husband at Christmas. He opened it over his lap and spent the rest of the evening picking snowflakes off his jeans.

Hannah W.

Went for the paper confetti one. Bright colours, and easy enough to sweep up after. I’d get that one again.

Alex T.

My mate sent me one last year so I finally got him back. He didn’t even twig until I asked if he’d checked his post.

Ben C.

We used the pink confetti one to tell my mum we were having a girl. It took her a second to work out why it was pink, then she cried. I’ve watched the video about 20 times.

Priya M.

Opened it at the kitchen table with my flatmate. Most of it landed on him, which was unfortunate because I’d bought it for someone else.

Jess L.

Dad laughed. Mum got the hoover. I’d buy another.

Sam D.

Bought it for Secret Santa and somehow managed to keep a straight face while he opened it. He’s still finding glitter in his desk drawer.
