It’s the Perfect Year to Lean Into Gag Gifts

Give a gag gift that exists outside the paradigm of "good gift" and "bad gift" Don't let class stand in the way of trash.

Candles that smell or look like things they should not should also be gags.

Unique food items that surprise and delight can be found almost anywhere.

It can be hard to know what silly food items will speak to your loved one, so a good rule of thumb is to think about what they actually like.

Prank clothing doesn’t have to be ugly or unwearable.

Get your favorite pet lover socks or a baseball hat decorated with photos of their furry friend.

The CrunchCup is a vessel shaped like a thermos that holds cereal and milk.

No gag gift guide would be complete without some good old-fashioned poop-and-pee stuff.

The hardest part of purchasing a really good gag gift is matching the trash to your particular loved one’s personality.

A true gag gift must be based on some mutual trust: trust that the giftee will get the joke.
