You and your friends are the type of people that like to ruin each other’s lives, thriving from that sweet sweet schadenfreude. You’ll never forget that time when they changed your grandma and your girlfriend’s names around on your phone, which resulted in a confusing and incredibly embarrassing convo that you wish wasn’t scarred into your mind forever. Grandma is still confused about the messages you sent her.

To show your mates how much you hate to love them, you should get them something stupid this year which pokes fun at their personalities. Get a laugh from these 17 types of phone cases, which’ll fit your friends’ personalities like a glove.
