Gag gifts are usually inexpensive novelty items intended to get a laugh, but if your sensibilities find the laugh worth more than a few dollars, you can also find gag gifts for more money.

Often a gag gift is an impulsive buy when something funny instantly brings a friend or family member to mind. It could be anything from bacon wallet to a elephant cigarette dispenser. There doesn't have to be an occasion to present someone with a gag gift, because they can brighten any day.


Kids often like gag gifts that double as pranks, finding fun in mild shock and good-hearted embarrassment. Like the shocking pen, or shock lighter. The innocent looking pillow otherwise known as the whoopee cushion, "fake poop," the PARTY POOPER, or a humorous pair of gigantic underwear. The classic hand buzzer prank (concealed in the palm it delivers a shock when shaking hands), has been around for years.

Gag gifts are often chosen when a gift is appropriate but the recipient is a mere acquaintance. For example, an office party for a retiring employee may require a little present, even if you don't know the person very well. Getting something useful, like a Robot Calculator Organizer, makes the gift appear to have more value and be more thoughtful. Bringing a laugh from the crowd as it's opened adds a bit of joy to what would otherwise be a mere office gift.

When giving a gag gift make sure the gag won't hurt the recipient's feelings. Gags related to someone's special talents or hobbies are usually a big hit, but gags meant to highlight shortcomings or faults - even if the person is aware of those faults or shortcomings — will probably make them feel bad. Giving a over the hill parking permit to someone who's worried about turning 40 would not be kind. However, giving it to someone who has always been joking with everyone else could be very funny.

For a few gift ideas consider these:

* For the friend who's always bragging about his or her golf game, gag golf balls will do just about anything but what's expected. Pull a switch and wait for the laughs!
* Know a girl who just can't live without her sushi? Consider the "sushi shower curtain" for her bathroom. Its a life size shower curtain with different pieces of sushi on it.
* Is there someone at the office who's always helping themselves to the goodies you keep on your desk? Get him an office pranks!
* Have a friend who considers himself a huge meat eater? Get him a funny bacon and meat gag gifts!
* Have a friend that just loves his brand of beer? How about a beer box cowboy hat supporting his favorite brew!
