Today I learned that Blåhaj are difficult to gift-wrap.
#blahaj
@matthew they’ll never guess, flawless, no notes
@matthew
what do you mean? it's perfect!
@matthew and i learned last week you can push a Blåhaj into a Backpack...
soooo there are possibilitys! ;D
@Michael1 @matthew and you can fit exactly 12 inside a vintage Apple Macintosh bag
@matthew 50/50 chance this package contains a pair socks.
@matthew

@matthew might've got away with it if somebody hadn't stuck that eye on it. Dead giveaway
@pikesley We thought the teeth were the giveaway, so removed them.
@matthew Very impressive, I can't wrap anything that isn't rectangular 😉🤣
@matthew hmm I wonder what that suspiciously blahaj shaped present is under the tree
@matthew i just put a ribbon around mine, but your wrapping looks actually pretty good :3
@matthew gee i wonder whats wrapper in there!
@matthew would be extraordinarily funny if it turned out to just be a mug or something, padded out with origami and toilet paper.
@matthew Hah, ich weiß es, da sind Bücher drin!
@matthew Same. We resorted to skipping the wrapping paper and just giving it a gift ribbon.
@matthew It's pronounced Blåhaj.
@matthew I hope it's Blahaj shaped PlayStation 5
@matthew That's fantastic work. I'm a terrible wrapper. It would have gone in a trash bag with a bow slapped on it.
@matthew
What could possibly be inside the shork-shaped present?
@phi1997 Socks maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@matthew that's a masterpiece! 🥰
@matthew its easy. buy a bike, throw away the bike, get the carton, stuff it in that, and wrap it. :^ )
@matthew My daughter saw this and exclaimed, deadpan, "I hope it's a PS5"!
@matthew Sick, i hope it's that new xbox controller I wanted - i've been dropping hints about that for months
@matthew should've vacuum sealed that sucker (source: https://mothership.sg/2022/01/ikeas-blahaj-vacuum-bags/)
IKEA's shark plushie tragically flattened to demonstrate usefulness of vacuum bags

Help needed.

@matthew
Great... Now I have a new obsession.
@matthew Toss it under the tree anyway, it'll be hilariously obvious. :3
@matthew I hope it's a drum kit 😇
@Tar Only if it was a gift for someone else’s kids ;-)

@matthew

Is it a bike or a football? 😄🤷‍♂️

@matthew Imagine if it wasn't a blahaj inside of this gift-wrap 😅
@matthew @ShadowJonathan VERY difficult!
@usrbinwhoami
That’s beautiful, great work Jess!
@matthew
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Well done!
@matthew "Woooow! What could it be?" 🦈

@matthew I'd have stuffed that into a cube box. Would be fairly heavy, too.

Perfect disguise.

@matthew Ну, чувак заморочился, конечно.
@matthew My little brother says you made a much better gift wrap than he once did.
@Sobex
This isn’t a competition. I’m sure your brother is doing great :)
Cut 'em out (ride 'em in!)
Ride 'em in (cut em' out!)
Cut 'em out, Ride 'em in
Blåhaj!
@matthew bet that's a skateboard

@matthew Mastodon can make it hard to track so this exact post made me go check out your profile, click to see your app, see it is entirely down my street, download and immediately start a premium trial after reading about your accessibility policy on top

It’s that sort of banger gift, banger policy, that makes it worth pointing out directly to you.

(Best of luck with your new job, thanks to @marlies for boosting)

@rail @matthew whoa this is the most christmassy thing for me to ever have been tangentially involved in
@marlies keep boosting bangers :3
@rail Hello there, nice to meet you!
@matthew Great to meet you too
@matthew it could be a cat
@matthew This looks like one of those "I hope it's a PS5" memes.
