1. A book full of seriously fun and harmless pranks that'll have the whole family laughing.
Promising review: "I love this book! It's a great resource for teaching kids to prank responsibly, though I admit all the copies I have purchased have been for adult friends. If you do buy this, keep it on the down-low so the pranks are still new to your victims... er, friends." —P. Munroe
Get it from Amazon for $8.79.
2. A baby beer bottle for changing the definition of the term "milk drunk" and seriously shock your friends when they see your baby drinking from it after having a few themselves.
Promising review: "We got this for a friend's child who starting teething. It's a great modern joke from the old idea of putting whiskey on the baby's teeth. We also felt bad when going to their house for drinks that the baby wasn't able to join in. This way he has his own Lil' Lager and we have ours. It's a great gift and well built. It's still good as new. A fun gift for anyone really. —N. Maggio
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
3. A hilarious roll of toilet paper which wont tear, so be ready to throw them a real roll before they tear you apart instead (and so they can hear you laugh maniacally from the other side of the bathroom door).
4. A tub of Unicorn Farts for the person who believes April Fool's Day is actually the best day of the year for giving (gag) gifts.
5. A startlingly realistic remote control cockroach sure to scare them silly (before they get their revenge and stomp your robot roach to death).
6. A zap pen — it may be a classic, but it'll still be a ~shock~ when you see how well it works.
Promising review: "I love this gag set! As soon as I got it from the mail, I took it out and started to prank all my family! It was hilarious! I know that sounds bad, but it was a hit at the family get together and had everyone cracking up!" —Catherine Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
7. A motion sensing window-tapping peeper to prank the friend who says they aren't afraid of anything (pro tip: make sure to be nearby so that your fearless friend doesn't call the cops over a floating animatronic head).
Promising review: "It's hilarious!! I know that there are other 'peeper' characters, but this one is much better with his tap, tap, tapping. I had him perched out back peering in. Sometimes I would forget that he was there and he would startle me with his tapping. Awesome!!" —J. Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $37.09 or get a non-tapping cheaper peeper for $19.99.
8. A camera lens coffee mug that'll instantly make your photographer friends ~shutter~ when you sip a cappuccino near their Canon.
Promising review: "I am absolutely infatuated with this lens mug. It's fantastic. It's super realistic looking (I've gotten many questionable stares, questions, and confused folks coming up to me). I've purchased a few of these as gifts, and it's truly the best! The price is fantastic. This is the best conversation starter!" —Gabby Tess
Get it from Amazon for $11.93.
9. A cheshire cat who just might have the exact same grin on his face that you do when you gift it.
Get it from ThinkGeek for $19.99.
10. A set of poop emoji sheets, to properly make your old bed back home on what your parents' think is the ~shittiest~ day of the year.
11. An infuriating, and discrete, phantom keystroker you can insert into any computer and have it mess around with your victim's keyboard, mouse, and mind.
This nasty flash drive makes your mouse move randomly around the screen, makes the caps lock seem like it's possessed by the devil, and types out strange text like, "I can see you typing." It's a genius way to enjoy a harmless holiday at the office this April.
12. A color-changing bath mat — it's quickly gonna make their freshly shaved legs look a lot more menacing.
Promising review: "This was such a fun gag gift! The product itself is very unassuming when you look at it. However, we wanted to try it out (just to see what it did) and immediately after flicking water towards it it looked exactly like blood splatter. We did it at a party and the whole room gasped in surprise, then started roaring with laughter!" —Wiomara
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
13. A tube of bacon flavored toothpaste to casually leave by the sink for the unsuspecting fool who starts the day brushing their teeth before putting on their glasses.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gag gift. My friends thought it was hilarious. Can't say it tastes good... but it is smokey." —Kat Mac Kenzie
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.41.
14. A unique piece of garden decor they may not notice until it's too late.
Promising review: "This is probably the best thing ever for anyone's garden. I mainly bought it because it seems like every other house has some sort of gnome on our street. I wanted to step out of the norm and when I came across this I knew this piece would be perfect, purely out of great humor. It's the right size, and made out of quality hard plastic." —Dallas
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
15. A vintage joke box with gags as old as time that'll have them splitting their sides, or splitting up with you and your (grand)dad jokes.
Promising review: "Big things come in small packages. This little box of plastic gizmos and gags has brought hours and hours of joy to my child." —Michael Ricigliano
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
16. A bang toilet seat to spook them so bad they'd wet their pants... if they had any on.
Promising review: " We have endless fun with this thing! You can put it under anything. The best thing is that once you have done it a time or two, the victim then gets paranoid and you can constantly build the tension by making them think you have placed it under something so that they never know where it really is. I should have bought two just in case one gets lost or for the double whammy! Seriously, this thing is good and harmless fun. :D" —some dude
Get it from Amazon for $4.06.
17. An exploding golf ball that's gonna guarantee their game will have a hilarious hazard.
18. An adult coloring book with a giggling grandma on the cover. It'll seem like a sweet gift to help them feel calm... until they find out who they're coloring.
19. A pair of underwear to show your partner just how glad you are to have been together for so long.
20. A cat wizard hat which, TBH, may likely make you the fool if you think your cat is gonna wear it without a fight (but the risk is more than worth it for your little wizard).
Get it from Amazon for $6.33.
21. A fake power outlet sticker to infuriate your friend with a lack of patience and a battery at 3%.
This comes in a pack of 12.
Promising review: "I'm a bartender and I enjoy watching drunk people try to plug their charger into these!!! It's great entertainment. So worth it. In fact, I just ordered more. :)" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $8.99.
22. A jar of unicorn meat you can casually leave in your pantry until dinner time, just be sure and let them know the meat will be ~rare~.
Get it from Amazon for $11.82.
23. A bathe and brew box which seems insanely ridiculous, because it is. It's also empty. And this gag box is gonna make your mom laugh out loud when she falls for it (best to fill it with a nice teapot instead).
Promising review: "So, I definitely think this is worth the money if you enjoy laughing and have a good sense of humor. I gave this to my sister as a 'gift,' of course her REAL gift was inside. She was utterly shocked and couldn't stop laughing at the thought that I seriously got her a shower head/coffee pot. My whole family got a good laugh!" —Jenn Coxx
Get it from Amazon for $7.20.
24. A talking toilet paper holder that'll definitely let the good times ~roll~.
Promising review: "So I work at a plumbing company, and I like to give funny, plumbing-related gifts to people at work. I thought this gift would be perfect. You can remind someone to flush the toilet, spray Febreze, put the toilet seat down, or a lovely little greeting such as 'Welcome to the Dunn's guest bathroom, as a reminder there is a match to your left, and the guest towels are located in the cupboard on the wall, please refrain from stealing the Vicodin out of the medicine cabinet.' Or 'I can see you using too much toilet paper, could you not?' The possibilities are ENDLESS with this." —Charolette
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
25. A noise maker for anyone whose pranks have passed the whoopee cushion stage... sort of.
Get it from Spencer's for $5.99.
26. A can that'll secretly hide your stash of cash, or whatever gift you really give your friend who is constantly sending you ~spam~ emails.
Promising review: "This has lots of room to store money. We put our son's Christmas cash in here. It was so fun watching him open it and try to figure out why we gave him Spam!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
27. Or a classic whoopee cushion to teach the next generation of pranksters.
But honestly I've lived through April 1st 23 times and I am still the girl in the green dress.
