Your sister. She’s your first friend, your fiercest rival, and the only person who truly knows why you’re both so weird. When her birthday rolls around, a generic, store-bought "Happy Birthday" just doesn't cut it.

Whether you’re looking for a gentle roast or a full-on sarcastic takedown, we’ve got you covered.
