From Secret Santa parties at work to gift exchanges between siblings, finding the funniest gag gift has become quite the pastime. While gag gifts really are funny, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be useful at the same time. Here are some ideas for making the recipient laugh aloud with a gift that’s just as useful as it is hilarious.

From Secret Santa parties at work to gift exchanges between siblings, finding the funniest gag gift has become quite the pastime. While gag gifts really are funny, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be useful at the same time. Here are some ideas for making the recipient laugh aloud with a gift that’s just as useful as it is hilarious. 

For the Coffee Lovers 

Buying a coffee mug for a coffee lover is a lot like buying lipstick for a Kardashian. It doesn’t stand out, and chances are good they already have the same one, anyway. This is certainly a valid concern, but coffee mugs from Buffalovely are guaranteed to be unique. This one says, “Gonna be one of those ‘would inject coffee into my veins if I had the equipment’ kind of days.” It’s funny, and it’s useful, too. Pair it with this Candle for Caffeine Addicts from Whiskey River, and it’s likely to be the most thoughtful gift they’ve ever gotten. 

For Someone Who Wants a Green Thumb

If you have a friend who’s a plant enthusiast, there’s quite possibly no better gift to give than a planter  - especially if it has a sassy saying on it. About Face are the kings of the funny planters, and they offer a wide range of colors with clever phrasing such as, “Grow, Dammit,” “Easier than a Kid,” and “Save the Earth, There’s No Weed on Mars.” There are plenty of others, as well, so choose the one that best suits the recipient’s personality. 

For the Ones with Cold Feet

There’s nothing worse than having literally cold feet, but fortunately, you can help your friends and family with this situation by giving them the thoughtful gift of socks. Brands like Blue Q have forever changed the socks game with their bright, bold patterns and snarky sayings. Some of the best include, “Anxious & Sexy”, “I’m a Golf Guy. BIG Golf Guy,” and “Watch out, I’ll f*ckin’ hug you.” You can stuff these socks into some stockings or mix and match several pairs for an even bigger belly laugh. 

For Housewarming

Home decor is one of the most popular niches of all when it comes to gift giving, and while throw pillows don’t usually top the list of most common gifts, these throw pillows from Furbish are insane. They’re made from wool and cotton velvet, and each 8” by 14” pillow features a unique pattern and saying in needlepoint. For example, you can get the “People Say Nothing is Impossible, but I Do Nothing Every Day,” pillow that features white text on a red and pink background surrounded by a frame of white hearts. There are plenty of others, so choose the one that best represents the recipient. 

Gag gifts are usually funny, but for the most part, that’s the end of their usefulness. Instead, choose a gift that’s both hilarious and functional. From socks and planters to throw pillows and coffee mugs, there’s no shortage of opportunities to tell your loved ones how you really feel.
