Pop-Up Middle Finger Gift Box

Some people deserve flowers. Some people deserve a gift box that looks completely innocent — ribbon and bow moulded right in, sat there being polite — until they slide the lid open and a middle finger springs up and stays up. No batteries, no winding, nothing to assemble. Just a small mechanical betrayal, waiting patiently in gift wrap. It is the perfect length of awkward: too funny to bin, too rude to explain to anyone else, and impossible to pretend you did not find it hilarious. They open it. You watch their face. Job done. CHOOSE YOUR VERSION Standard. Box and finger, nothing else. Sometimes a universal gesture says everything that needs saying. Personalised. I print their name on the finger itself. So it is not just rude, it is specifically rude, aimed at one particular person, in a gift they cannot throw away because it is far too funny. Up to 12 characters, so first names work best. The kind of thing you hand a colleague on their last day, a mate on their birthday, or a boss who is not quite as stuffy as they pretend to be. Two colourways: green box with a red bow, or red box with a white bow. HOW TO ORDER Pick your version and colour above. If you chose Personalised, pop the name in the personalisation box. If you chose Standard, just leave that box empty and I will send the plain version. WHAT YOU GET • Solid one-piece body with a smooth sliding lid • Hidden mechanism — the finger pops up and stays up • Optional name on the finger (Personalised version only) • No batteries, nothing to assemble, nothing to break This is the year-round edition — no Santa hat, no tinsel, no waiting until December. Birthdays, leaving-dos, house moves, apologies that are not really apologies, or the mate who parked in your space again. Made to order by me in my studio on the Isle of Wight, in PLA — a plant-based bioplastic. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and keep it off hot windowsills, as PLA does not love heat. Novelty item, adult humour. Not a toy, not for children, and absolutely for people who will get the joke.
