1. A mini inflatable tube guy because there is *no way* they can look at this little dude and not giggle. If they're feeling extra goofy, imitating him is ~encouraged.~
2. A Shrek toothpaste cap they can attach straight to their tube of toothpaste so they can tell all their friends they've been brushing their teeth with Shrek's 💩.

Promising review: "This was the perfect stocking stuffer!" —Addie

4. Some dehydrated water for the times when they are packing light but know they are bound to get thirsty. Instead of carrying a heavy jug of water, they can just carry this little can and fill it with water to rehydrate it whenever they need!
Promising review: "Gave this for a Christmas gift to a relative…he is still speechless…from laughing! He shows it to everyone he knows. I would give this 10 stars if possible…yeah, a bit pricey for an empty can but more fun than giving a pair of socks for sure!" —B burton
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
5. An anti-stress desktop punching bag so they can take out all their rage against Kevin, the office pain-in-the-butt, in a safe and controlled manner that won't end with a trip to HR.
Promising review: "I bought this as a white elephant gift for Christmas in the office. I anticipated it to be thin, flimsy, and cheap. However, it was just the opposite. My coworker has it sectioned to her glass wall and people use it all the time. The section is strong, and the item itself feels very sturdy. I was pleasantly surprised, and it was one of the favorite gifts of the day." —Vicki McClain
Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in two colors).
7. A giant waffle…blanket perfect for anyone who eats waffles on the daily and has been known to scream "leggo my Eggo" if anyone tries to take a bite. Now they can finally live out their dreams of being fully surrounded by a delicious breakfast food.
Promising review: "My grandson loves this waffle lightweight throw. He got up and made sure everyone could see it. Well made. Not too heavy, just right for watching TV on a cooler night. This is the third unique one I purchased. Now all three grandsons have one, each being different. Love it." —becky spinks
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and nine versions).
8. A container of nothing, perfect for someone who already has everything. Or for those people who always say "nothing" when asked what they want. Now you can finally grant their wishes!
Promising review: "Got a few of these for Christmas. A few people said they wanted nothing, so that's just what I got them, NOTHING. LOL. We did buy them real gifts, but they loved their nothing. Everyone who received one thought it was funny. I suggest getting this for anyone who asks for nothing. The reading part on the nothing is funny too, strongly suggest this!! Worth the laughs!!" —CatsMeow
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
9. A tube of bacon-flavored toothpaste to leave on the counter for any unsuspecting passerby who brushes their teeth while still half asleep…I mean, they did say they wanted bacon for breakfast…
Promising review: "I LOVE this toothpaste as a gag gift for bacon enthusiasts, especially teens with a sense of humor! It smells...well, pretty gross (like bacon grease), has fun packaging, and is fascinating enough to try simply because...well, BACON. Lol. Not recommended for regular dental hygiene, though." —Christine Paluska
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
10. A toilet timer to help them remember there is a whole world outside of the bathroom and they shouldn't be sitting on the commode until their legs are numb.
Promising review: "It was a great Father's Day gift! My 3-year-old loves playing with it. I'm not sure my husband actually uses it for its intended purpose because he still takes forever! :D" –katherine viens
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
11. And some no rip toilet paper that'll leave them flustered and confused when they do finally decide bathroom time is over only to realize they are stuck there a little bit longer. Be warned, once you mess with someone in their most vulnerable state, you'll certainly be in the middle of an ongoing prank war.
12. And! A talking toilet paper holder so you can really scare the 💩 outta them (thankfully they're on the toilet so there won't be any mess). Record whatever message you'd like them to hear when they go to pull the paper.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I don’t know how something so simple can bring so much joy in my life. Just a tip if you’re going to get this don’t keep it on the toilet paper roll all the time. Just do it every once in a while. That way they don’t know it’s coming. The other great news is you can remind your children to wipe their butt all the way every single time they go to the bathroom." —Ecow
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
13. A dinosaur eating gnomes figurine to show them how you really feel about their extensive gnome collection in their front yard.
Promising review: "I keep this on the sideboard in the dining room. I feel that’s the proper place for it considering. I get more compliments and chuckles and looks of pure merriment every time someone sees it. And it’s every time, regardless of whether they’ve seen it before. My favorite thing in the house." —Margaret W.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to get 10% off this price).
14. A pair of Boot Bananas that'll help deodorize even their stinkiest pair of shoes using plant extracts, activated charcoal, and minerals. The best part is that as they absorb more ~funk~ they'll turn brown just like real bananas so they know when it's time for a new pair!
One set can last 6–12 months!
Promising review: "Im really impressed by how well these worked on my daughter’s soccer cleats. I thought they were beyond saving due to the awful odor. These tamed it to a tolerable point. Plus, it’s soooooo cool how the bananas ripen as you use them. The next pair of cleats will have bananas from day 1! Buy these! You need them if you have stinky shoes!" —Christina Heinroth
Get a pair from Amazon for $20.
15. A bottle of "headlight fluid" that'll confuse all the car novices who barely even know how to fill their car up with gas. They're sure to experience a rollercoaster of emotions when they open this up — from being concerned that they've never replaced the fluid before to utter disbelief when they find out this isn't real.
Note: this is just an empty bottle, because no, headlights don't need fluid.
Promising review: "This will definitely make for some laughs at Christmas. It looks just like something you might buy at an auto parts store…until you think about what it really is. Ha ha ha." —teri
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
16. A ridiculous yodelling pickle if you wanna give them the perfect ammo to irritate anyone and everyone in their life.
17. A boyfriend pillow for that person who is always begging someone to be their cuddle buddy.
18. Or a Dwight Schrute reversible sequin pillow that is seemingly normal until they swipe up to reveal a creepy Dwight that may or may not haunt their dreams.
Dunderdesign is a small business with The Office-inspired items any fan of the show will love. They even have this in a Prison Mike design.
Promising review: "I bought this for my best friend for Christmas who is a a huge Office fan. I got the pillow along with the pillow case which I recommend for a perfect fit. The pillowcase itself is so funny and the quality is great. The back side is super soft as well. When I wrapped it I made sure the black side was showing so he didn't know that Dwight's lovely face would be staring at him. 😂😂 I totally recommend!!!" —Ashlyn
Get it from Dunderdesign on Etsy for $20.20+ (available with or without insert and in two colors).
19. A toilet stool and putting practice set so they can use the ~extensive~ time they spend in the bathroom practicing their golf instead of just endlessly scrolling through their phone.

Get it from Amazon for $31.99.
20. A Bob Ross chia pet that kinda speaks for itself. Plant and art lovers will rejoice at this completely unique gift. Go get them a ch-ch-ch-chia!
21. A pair of Fish Flip-Flops so they can up their slides game to this sweet pair that looks like a fish is swallowing their whole feet. They do always say they're a trendsetter...
22. A tin of emergency underpants, which is perfect to have on hand while they open up all these hilarious gifts as a backup in case they do in fact pee themselves from laughing so hard.
Promising review: "Hey! If you're on the fence about getting this gag gift...GET IT!!! Today is my husband's birthday and he couldn't stop laughing when he opened this! Our kids kept referring to it as the 'man diaper' while laughing...BUT keep in mind that this gag gift is NOT geared only toward a man! This was worth every penny and my husband sent me a photo to make me laugh now! Apparently he carried it on him as he headed out the door LOL. He hasn't opened it...so I am unaware of how they would actually fit him. However, the purpose it was purchased for, did not let me down." —CB
Get it from Amazon for $8.64.
23. A mini violin so they can join Mr. Krabs' tiny orchestra that plays the perfect pity party soundtrack.
This comes with the mini violin, stand, bow, and case.
Promising review: "It looked exactly like my real violin! But a mini version. Such specific details for such a small instrument!!! It uses ACTUAL wood, little metal strings, and real pegs!!!!!!!! It has a little case that is a pretty velvet red and black color. The bow is real wood also, but the actual bow hair is plastic. If you replace the plastic bow hair with horse hair, and apply rosin, THE LITTLE VIOLIN CAN REALLY WORK!" —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $11.66+ (available in three sizes).
24. A super difficult clear jigsaw puzzle to stump even the biggest puzzle aficionados. This isn't just your typical, difficult clear puzzle — there are multiple pieces that have straight edges to mimic corners and side pieces but that's not actually where they belong. 😈
CM Originals Co is a small business based in Las Vegas Nevada that has ornaments, customizable Harley Davidson inserts, and more.
Promising review: "My mother in law has never taken this long to complete a much larger puzzle. She is tackling it row by row and piece by piece. We’ve been trying to challenge her puzzling skills for years. This did the trick!" —Tiffany Kelly
Get it from CM Originals Co on Etsy for $16.99+ (available in four piece quantities).

Get the box of four pairs from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two size ranges).
26. A prank box with a spider that'll jump out when they open it. You can either use on its own or filled with a gift card, candy, or other small treat. Let's just say it may take them a little while to ever trust a box you hand to them again.
Promising review: "We witnessed a good jump! My 14-year-old is not afraid of anything, well maybe except for the spiders. He got this box today as a Christmas gift. He opened it, totally freaked out, instantly jumped back, put his hand to the heart and started hyperventilating. After he pulled himself together, he said, 'You got me!!!' And believe me it is hard to 'get' him nowadays! We videotaped it. It was worth every dime!!!" —Elena
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three versions).
27. A classic snake-in-a-can to scare the bejesus out of them the next time they ask for a snack right before you're about to serve dinner.
Promising review: "My 6-year-old loved it and then my wife took it to the high school she teaches at and all the teens thought it was funny and played with it. Broad age gap for fun." —Welsey Fraser
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
28. A pack of 10 tiny hands so they can shock friends and family by reaching out to grab stuff with these little ~unsettling~ hands.
Promising review: "We’re a silly family, so when my mom mentioned wanting these, I got them for her birthday. She had a bad day yesterday, so I gave them to her a few days early to cheer her up. Her face lit up as she threw her head back in genuine laughter. She immediately went to the garage to find a wooden stick to attach the hands to a each end. She uses it as a scepter, and orders the household about like peasants. When we complain, she holds the tiny hand up for silence. She uses it to pet our faces while we sleep. The cat has declared the Hand her arch nemesis. It's been 24 hour now and I regret everything." —Nesha
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $9.99.
29. A creative bookmark — perfect for their school textbooks that somehow parallels how they feel having to read that lengthy chapter for class tomorrow.
30. Voice activated prank stickers so they'll think the coffee maker will work with a simple "make me some coffee." Just make sure to be hiding in the wings to record them for your own satisfaction. (Use them only on your own things! Don't vandalize — that's for chumps).
31. A set of bad parking cards that can be left on their dashboard whenever their parallel park job is subpar. Is it a ticket? Nope, it's a dis at how badly they parked. (LOL)
32. And these glowing light saber chopsticks that'll make enjoying sushi an outta this world experience.
33. A coffee mug you can fill up and hand to them, watching as they drink and see the words are slowly revealed...
34. Shart wipes — kinda sure these don't need much explaining.
35. A decorative cat towel that'll silently watch them microwave their day-old pizza or scroll TikTok on the toilet.
Promising review: "I did not buy this to actually use as a towel. To me it doesn’t seem like it would be good at serving this purpose as the material is not very absorbent, however it is great for decoration purposes. It is really, really adorable! I love how there’s little snap buttons to keep it in place. I highly recommend this as a decorative gift for the cat lover in your life or for yourself if you love kitties! Great purchase!" —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 30 designs).
36. A blackhead-removing toy they can pick and prod with tweezers like they're performing surgery alongside their Grey's Anatomy colleagues. But for real, it helps if they're prone to picking their skin or pulling out hair when they're stressed!!
Promising review: "I have trichotillomania and really love these little guys. They help refocus my habit and the pull is very satisfying and realistic. I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save $2; available in 11 styles and packs of one, two, or three).
37. An imitation pimple-popping toy that's been ingeniously designed so they can poke, prod, and pick without touching their own face. Reviewers say that fake-pus-filled silicone ~feels~ like oily skin.
Promising review: "Perfect for the gross out factor alone! Not quite a perfect simulation of popping a good zit (you have to push from the back a bit) but it’s definitely effective when you get the technique down! Plus side — you don’t have to clean the bathroom mirrors after using this!" —Matthew D Wilgers
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
38. 101 Ways to Know If Your Cat is French — the perfect book to leave out on their coffee table or the back of their toilet. A bit of a spoiler: If your cat shouts "Vive la Révolution" on Bastille Day... they're defs French.

Okay, maybe your cat's not French... maybe you don't even have a cat... but if you're looking for a light read that will put a smile on your face each time you turn the page, this book will not disappoint.

39. An uncanny valley–esque piggy bank that will either delight them or come for them in the middle of a sleep paralysis episode. It's really a toss-up — just don't say I didn't warn you.
The money-eating piggy bank accepts all standard change and it'll automatically open its mouth when it senses their hand.
Promising reviews: "This thing legitimately gave me a bit of anxiety when I first unboxed it. It was way creepier than expected. I think it might help me not be afraid of this one doll in my house I have nightmares about. This is much worse. I wouldn't recommend this for kids at all, but as a gag gift or interrogation tool I would say go for it." —mysticalkiwi
"Pink and horrifying. Right up my alley. I love this sucker. It sits there and judges me. It's sitting here and judging me now while I write this. 10/10 great companion, just don't get on its bad side." —Delaney Gillpatrick
Get it on Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors).
40. A Bob the Builder–looking saw knife with the power to cut through any cake you put in front of it. No matter how many ganache-filled layers, you won't even break a sweat.
Promising review: "I get so many laughs and compliments when I bust this thing out to slice a birthday cake! I got it for my baby girl's 1st birthday party (on Halloween!) and I relish any opportunity to use it. It's so much fun! It's also lightweight and easy to clean. It doesn't take up much drawer space, and it's not much larger than a proper kitchen knife." —Heather David
Get it from Amazon for $8.75.
41. A set of Porta Potty shot glasses that are straight up disgusting but also so fun. Let's just hope they don't think too much about it while they're using them.
Promising review: "They are a pair of shot glasses in the shape of Porta Potties so it got the expected laugh and enjoyment when picked at the White Elephant office party. They were 'stolen' a couple of times, so turned out to be quite popular. Pick a pair for your next gag gift party...they will be a hit!" —Thor
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
42. A chonky seal pillow — it won't judge them when they wake up at 1 p.m. and then climb back into bed with their leftover Domino's.
Promising review: "I love him. Like all things in life he has imperfections but that’s what makes him him. He is very cute very soft. he did come in a vacuum-sealed bag but I personally don’t have a problem with that because why waste resources with a bigger bag when he can fit in a small one just fine? To fluff him up I threw him in the dryer for 15 minutes. Bam, good as new. Love it. Only bad is he’s tiny but I’m ok with that. He is loved in this home even with his uneven facial features." —Kaitlyn
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
43. A hard-boiled egg holder that's poised to turn their morning meal into a knight in shining armor. Even if this Humpty Dumpty takes a fall, his protective helmet will keep him safe and sound.
Promising review: "I bought this for my wife's birthday and she absolutely loved it! She loves whimsy and this really struck a chord with her. I put a soft-boiled egg in it and she was grinning the entire time she was eating it. As far as being 'practical'; well, what can I say, but it beats chasing a soft-boiled egg around a slick dinner plate..." —UrbanDad
Get it from Amazon for $13.90.
44. A shrimp-shaped travel pillow that will be ready and waiting in the wings for their next big trip.
Promising reviews: "Well, I bought 12 of these when I was drunk...wasn't expecting to spend $416 on a gaggle of neck pillows, but the look you get in the airport and the thanks you receive from children you gift them to is priceless LOL." —Tyler Troup
"What's not to like about this? Gave it as a gift and the look of puzzled shock was priceless. The next day, it was in use in the car. Terrifyingly beautiful!" —Eric L.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
45. A witchy spine candle that looks like something a serial killer would have in their house but also imagine how cool it'll look when it starts to melt and pool wax!
46. A mullet coloring book if they're looking for a hands-on activity they can do while they sit in front of the TV. Mandala coloring books are fun and all but they can't compete with mullets.
And might as well get them some colored pencils while you're at it!
Promising review: "Some pretty funny mullets in here. And if I'm going to be putting time and effort into a coloring book, then the book needs to be match that with some fun art, and I think this book does a pretty good job of it. For me, the key to these Amazon coloring books is to use craft foam padding beneath the paper to get a smoother surface with color pencils. Also try it with a sheet of notebook paper in between to make sure you don't poke through the paper. If you just put color pencil straight to the printed page without padding you might not like the results. The picture I uploaded of the woman also has some Blender Marker on the skin to blend even better. My Funky George picture is color pencil for the face and marker for the rest.If I'm doing alcohol marker, I find it looks very dark until it dries some. So I like to let base coats dry and build from there, with some drying layers and mixing regular marker blends with some hatch marks later." —1Quantum
