Our guides on this topic

What makes a funny gift land

A funny gift works when the joke is about something the person already loves, not about them. Games make up the largest share of this page, with 12 picks. Both are funny because of the people around the table, which keeps them out of the novelty-gift trap.

By recipient and setting

Cat people will wear the Cat Paw Thigh-High Socks, Grinch fans will keep The Grinch Soap Pump Dispenser out all December, and kids get their laugh from the Poopsie Fart Noise Slime Kit. Couples have their own option in the Juduku Osmooz Card Game for Couples. The recipient tiles lead to pages for a friend, a coworker and a teen.

Funny gift budget and timing

Funny gifts stay inexpensive by nature: 23 of the 37 ideas cost under $30 and 31 under $50, with six under $15 for a stocking or a quick thank-you. Only three go above $50 to $100, topped by the Perplexus Portal 3D Puzzle Ball at $100 to $200. Prices are indicative and change with Amazon promotions.

Most of these gifts are card games or small objects with no size, so they ship quickly and suit a last-minute swap. For an office exchange in December, order during the first week of the month to stay ahead of the holiday shipping rush.
