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.~
Promising review: "Got this as a toy for my 7-year-old. She loves it. It's compact and is fun to watch wave around. Very similar to it's full-sized big bro. Great product!" —Christell

2. A tube of bacon-flavored toothpaste they can 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." —CP

3. A screaming goat so they can express all their feelings by pressing it and letting it do the screaming for them. Needless to say, there will be a loooottt of laughing caused by this little guy.
Promising review: "Hilarious and irritating — my kid loves it. It's funny, loud and cute. Great for goat lovers. As described. Great gift for people who think screaming goats are funny." —E. Hurtt

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

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 suctionned to her glass wall and people use it all the time. The suction 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

6. A giant waffle…blanket 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

7. 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
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
8. 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.
Promising review: "I pulled this prank on my partner and it was hilarious. It really doesn't rip hahaha." —Austin C.
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
9. 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. And they can reuse it on the prankee of their choice. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
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

10. 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

11. 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.
Shipping info: Free expedited Prime shipping available for Prime members, and non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

12. A set of two giant googly eyes so they can give a personality to basically anything. They're gonna love giving the gift of sight to cars, chairs, and whatever other inanimate objects they pass 👀.
Promising review: "These are fun and hilarious! I surprised my friend with these for his birthday placed in the bushes and we laughed and laughed." —CC

13. 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

14. A ridiculous yodelling pickle if you wanna give them the perfect ammo to irritate anyone and everyone in their life.
Promising review: "This pickle rocks!!! Well actually this pickle yodels and I don't care how many times you listen, you cant help but laugh, or smile, or both. I really believe every single person on planet earth needs to own one of these precious pickles..." —Ken C.

15. 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!
Includes the themed pottery planter, plastic drip tray, and chia seed packets for three plantings.
Promising review: "Ummm... this is a Bob Ross Chia... Don't even think... Just order. Bought this for our white elephant family Christmas exchange. Who wouldn't want this???" —SaraB

16. 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 foot. They do always say they're a trendsetter....
Promising review: "These are some of the ugliest awesome slides I have ever had the privilege of wearing...total headturners that everyone loves, and they are surprisingly squishy and comfortable too. Love them!" —Brian

17. A tin with a pair 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. A fake power outlet sticker so they can stick up on a wall in an airport, restaurant, or other public place. Then, sit back and watch unassuming patrons who desperately want to charge their phones try to plug in just to realize they've been tricked!
Reviewers say these are removable, but to be careful if you want to pull them off a wall as they are stickers and may cause damage.
Promising review: "I was able to trick my stepson into using one for his dresser so he can plug his Alexa into it. I told him you gotta make sure it goes on straight and wait for it to grow a box. Over the course of four days he came to me and said it's not growing. So I told him hmm maybe you have to water it like a plant. So sure enough he waters it (only a little bit). He did that for a week. Then I started to put more around the house and tricked my wife and friends who came over :D Great gag item." —Shawns211

21. And some voice-activated prank stickers they can place on their coffee maker, TV, and so much more to trick their guests into wondering why "make me some coffee" isn't magically dispensing a much-needed hot beverage!!!
The pack also includes some that say "motion activated."
Promising review: "We have put these things on flower pots, weed eaters, a shovel, etc....Yes, they are juvenile, but always get a smile when seen. I do not condone vandalism, but I have seen a few of these stickers on 'non-automatic' paper towel dispensers, in a few gas station bathrooms. The thought of someone talking to a paper towel dispenser, in public, makes me giggle." —Amazon reviewer

22. A classic snake-in-a-can to scare the bejesus out of them when they think you're just giving them a savory snack to go with all the candy in their stocking.
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

23. A pack of 10 tiny hands so they can shock friends and family by reaching out to grab stuff with these little ~unsettling~ hands.
The set comes with five right-handed and five left-handed finger 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 hours now and I regret everything." —Nesha

24. A coffee mug they'll get countless laughs out of when they hand their guests a beverage and watch as the words are slowly revealed with every sip. When the cup is empty, they may even burst out with a "mwahaha" to really seal in the dramatics.
This mug is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
Promising review: "I love this mug. Served coffee to my BF in it and got a laugh out of his reaction when he got to the bottom. He had a good laugh, too. It’s also a fun mug to drink out of on those rough work days where you just kind of wish you had been poisoned, rather than sitting on another useless, never-ending conference call. Good quality. Fun gag gift. Great mug for your own personal arsenal." —R Redick

25. A pair of glowing lightsaber chopsticks because no matter how much everyone tells them to, they ~still~ haven't grown out of playing with your food, and now they actually have an excuse.
They have eight different color modes!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."
Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony
