Why not send a glitter bomb to your enemy for a small fee? An Australian company called Ship Your Enemies Glitter is doing just that. For just $9.99 AUD, they will send an envelope filled with glitter that spills out when opened. The package also includes a note explaining why the person received the glitter bomb and what makes them so terrible.
Of course, the glitter bomb isn’t just for enemies; you can also send it to friends and coworkers as a prank. It also makes a wonderful payback gift when getting even with someone who pranked you.
So why choose glitter? Consider this: it’s a great way to annoy someone. Glitter gets stuck everywhere: on your clothes, in your hair, on the carpet, and more. It’s also tough to remove, especially the pieces that get deeply lodged in fabric or hair.

Glitter bombs have also been used by activists and directed at political figures or celebrities. It has been employed frequently by same-sex marriage advocates, and victims have included GOP figures, such as Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney. Glitter bombing, though, isn’t used strictly against politicians. Back in 2012, Kim Kardashian was hit with a flour bomb. The motive was unclear, though the attacker was believed to be an animal rights activist targeting Kardashian for wearing fur coats.
Some have also argued that glitter bombing should be made illegal and be classified as assault due to the possibility of the glitter causing injury if it gets in the victim’s eyes, nostril, or throat.
For the most part, though, glitter bombing your enemies or even friends seems like a fairly harmless way to get even with someone without taking things too far. Ship Your Enemies Glitter can send the glitter bomb to anywhere in the world, so even your enemies living on the other side of the world can be targeted.
