Need an elaborate way to annoy co-workers and aggravate neighbours?

Why not pay an Australian company to send glitter to them through the mail?

Ship Your Enemies Glitter is a website that, for $9.99 AUD (approximately $9.75 CAD), will send an envelope full of glitter to whomever you choose.

The website  which appears to be legitimate promises the victim person of your choice will receive an envelope containing glitter and a note, explaining what they did to deserve to have such a fate inflicted upon them.

They also say that the note will also contain glitter, so when the recipient opens in, the glitter is guaranteed to go everywhere.

According to the website, the founder was inspired to start the service after receiving one too many cards from distant relatives with glittery decor. Open the card, make contact, and bam, glitter on your hands and clothes for days. And that one sparkle you accidentally wipe on your face? Sorry, that's basically there until you're dead, because no matter how many times you try and wipe it off, it'll catch the light just right and remind you of your new shiny future.

“This is why I created Ship Your Enemies Glitter," the site's introduction reads. "Instead of shipping this horrible stuff to friends and family wouldn’t it be better to send it to an enemy? A boss? A bad friend? Maybe even a good friend. Whatever the reasoning I pack an envelope full of that sh*t, with a lovely letter explaining why they got it."

If you don't mind colourful language (and I don't mean the rainbow of colours your glitter will likely come in), the FAQ on the website is well worth the read.
