ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com is already up for sale, 24 hours after it launched.

The hilarious website lets you send glitter bombs to people you hate. Because what’s more annoying than cleaning up glitter from your floors, furniture, orifices, for the next three months?

The company’s website went viral this week after Redditor claudette45morgan drew the world’s attention to the fiendishly simple idea.


And now the 22-year-old evil genius behind the site, Sydney-based Matthew Carpenter, is selling up, having already made a five-figure sum in orders from the hateful tinsel.

He announced the sale on Twitter yesterday.

ShipYourEnemiesGlitter with 1m visits, 270k social shares, $xx,xxx in sales, tonnes of people wanting to order. 24 hours old. For sale. — Mathew Carpenter (@matcarpenter) January 14, 2015

The move is perhaps not surprising as the young entrepreneur is pretty clear that he hates glitter, calling it the ‘herpes of the craft world’.



After he was inundated with orders just hours after launching the site, forcing him to temporarily suspend purchases, he realised he had a whole lot of envelopes to stuff – each package is individually ‘wrapped with hate’ by Carpenter himself for the bargain price of $9.99 AUS.

‘You guys have a sick obsession with shipping people glitter,’ Carpenter complained.

Still, he can’t be too upset. Five-figures in 24-hours ain’t bad.
