Pirate spyglass
Five pictures of them, each blurred until they turn the focus ring, each with a caption underneath. Their own photographs, their own crimes: the unused gym membership, the perpetual lateness, the film opinions.

Gifts for the friend who'd roast you back
Sincerity optional — and the roast is the sincere part, mostly.
Gifts between friends have a tone problem. Anything earnest reads as a joke, anything funny risks reading as an actual insult, and most people give up somewhere in the middle and forward an image with glitter text on it.
The way through is the shape of every decent best-man speech: four beats being rude, one being honest. Get the order right and the honest one lands, because they weren't braced for it.
What suits your best friend
Find the ball
Three cups, one ball, an honest shuffle — this is the game they can actually lose. Put a bet on it and the loser buys.
Photo album
Ten years in ten photos, for when you do mean it. Works best as the thing you send after the roast rather than instead of it.
Balloon pop
For their birthday: one balloon on screen per year of their life, which gets funnier the older they get.
What to actually write
- Roast the habit, not the person — lateness, taste in films, the gym membership. Nothing they can't change and nothing they're actually sensitive about
- Under sixty characters a caption. A punchline you have to explain has stopped being one
- Only upload pictures you took — your own photos, your own screenshots. Not memes pulled off the internet
- Land the last one softly. Four insults and one true sentence is the entire formula
