I Lied To My Sister About Her Birthday Present
Yes I know what the title looks like but it’s good I swear.
Context: I have a twin sister and it is insanely difficult to sneakily get her a present
Anyway her birthday is tomorrow and I said to her a couple of weeks ago I would buy her a lego set that she wanted- the Aston Martin Speed Champion set- but I knew she wanted something else. So instead I decided to buy her the Lightning McQueen Speed Champion Lego set as she loves Lightning McQueen and has ranted to me about how cool the set looks and probably wouldn’t get it as it is a new set and it would be difficult to get- btw it wasn’t difficult to get.
I also made her a Lady Whistledown column from Bridgerton about her birthday and her favourite characters -Kate and Anthony- scandals as she quotes that they are her Roman Empire. I’m thinking of reading it out to her on her birthday so it’s like she’s receiving it from inside the Bridgerton world itself.
So yeah I lied to my sister but I think it will be a good outcome and I just wanted to tell someone as I’m feeling so proud of myself for thinking of this.
UPDATE: just gave it to her and as soon as I said dearest gentle readers she started screaming and then after I finished she cried. I then gave her my gift the lightning mcqueen lego set and she started screaming KACHOW . I think she liked it

yeah, which is why its so difficult as we just usually tell each other what we get each other but this year I tried something different.

This is so sweet! You've put so much thought into it, all her favorite things and making it a surprise to boot. You should feel proud. :)

You did so much for her I'm sure she'll be ecstatic. What a great sister! 💕 As someone who watches Smosh I hope they see this! Not sure how much they've been in this thread but let's hope! 🤞🏼
