Funny gifts for your valentine  

Your funny valentine deserves a funny Valentine’s Day gift. Something that shows you care but also makes them laugh.

  • Blanket or throw with funny/sweet ways of saying “be mine.” If it happens to be true, you could add a note about how they like to steal the blankets.
  • Funny, romantic matching mugs.
  • Matching pairs of socks that say “sole mates” or some other funny message.
  • A goofy or over-the-top love poem. (Feel free to shoot for “so bad it’s good.”)
  • Tell your sweetheart you picked out an outfit you want them to wear on Valentine’s Day. And then the gift bag is empty.
  • “Our love is a really big dill” matching T-shirts.
  • Funny stemless wine glasses like this one and this one to go with a nice bottle of wine.
  • Search the produce section for something heart-shaped (a potato, a peach, a tomato or whatever you can find). Bonus: Heart-shaped is also butt-shaped!

Funny gifts for Christmas  

From a zinger of an inside joke between friends to an absolutely bonkers thing for a secret Santa or white elephant party, Christmas is the perfect time to unfurl your funny gift-giving skills.

After all, what did Buddy the Elf teach us about the best way to spread cheer? “Singing loud for all to hear!” So do that. Be loud about it.

  • Ornaments that are hilariously off and just don’t make any sense to give to someone, like Baby’s First Christmas for someone who is clearly not a baby, or an iconic sports star from their most hated rival. Or just pick something completely bizarre and random!
  • Do you like to bake? Make a batch of cookies in wacky shapes. Bonus: Put funny icing messages on them.
  • The holidays are the perfect time for cocoa, hot cider, eggnog and spiced tea—and the perfect time for a hilarious mug like this to put them in.
  • How about a ridiculous stocking cap that’s obnoxiously colorful, loudly patterned, way too long, has a giant pom-pom at the end—or all of the above?!
  • Funny socks like this dumpster fire pair that says “I’m fine” on one and “Everything’s fine” on the other one? You could even get them a pair that has swear words on them. They’re socks—no one else has to know!
  • Decor with funny sayings. Think mildly snarky, delightfully rude or hilariously exasperated counted cross-stitch kits, de-motivational posters, etc.
  • Literally anything with a funny photo of you and/or your friend, family member, colleague, etc.
  • Wearables with funny quotes: T-shirts, aprons, hats, accessories.

Funny gifts for a wedding  

When the fun couple gets married, let the games begin! Whether you are looking for a bachelorette party gift or you just want to add to the fun of their wedding day, here are a few funny gift ideas.

  • A garter with a funny saying for them to laugh over after the wedding.
  • Champagne flutes with funny quotes about marriage! 🥂
  • A couple’s journal with funny prompts. It’ll turn into SUCH a fun keepsake.
  • A jokey “marriage survival kit” including things like ear plugs for sleeping next to a snorer, an extra blanket for when they steal the covers, or super-comfy, matching oversize hoodies so there’s no commandeering the only one.
  • A sign or hamper that makes a joke about putting away your socks or getting the laundry into the hamper.
  • A book of funny advice on how to keep your marriage strong.
  • Matching boxer shorts that say something like “Just married. 10/10 recommend.”
  • Funny shirts: “Formerly Single” or “Married (formerly known as Single).”
  • “This is my honeymoon outfit” temporary tattoos.

Funny gifts for an anniversary  

From old inside jokes to new milestone tributes with a wink, there’s nothing like an anniversary to stir up the urge to bring a little humor into the occasion.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as thinking of an obvious gift and adding a small twist. Other times, it’s finding funny ways to rekindle memories that are uniquely yours.

  • Odds are, one of you is a good cook and the other is…not. If your spouse is in the second category, how about this tea towel with a hilarious quote: “My cooking is fire. Literally.”
  • If you’re parents, both of you are probably chronically exhausted in the shared struggle of raising kid(s). Why not celebrate that perpetually familiar feeling with this mug?
  • Gather and print old photos from your phone at the pharmacy and do a funny “us then versus us now” pic display.
  • Check out this super helpful breakdown of anniversary gifts by year, then put a funny spin on the year. For example, if it’s cotton, a bag of cotton balls! (Be sure to have an actual gift for when the laughter and mild confusion fade.)
  • Nothing says forever love like a coaster with a squirrel on it that says “IIIIIEEEEIIIII will always love you.”
  • Make your own fill-in-the-blank tale of how you met or how you fell in love. Let the other person suggest random words and then reveal how that turned into your love story.
  • Wine glasses that say “One Year Closer to Forever.” 😂

Funny gifts for retirement  

Do you have a lighthearted colleague who’s calling it quits after a long career? Or a goofy friend or spouse who maybe just loves to joke and dream about getting to retire at literally any point in the future? Either way, we have a few suggestions for you:

  • Are you and your BFF gonna be the fun ones and/or hot ones in the eventual retirement community of your choice? Well, this glass has immortalized that kind of banter for posterity.
  • Here’s a thought: Retirement often brings with it an abundance of free time for chilling in front of the TV, so how about an excellent Shoebox card like this one with a gift subscription to Hallmark+ inside? So much to stream! So many perks!
  • For the retiree who will NOT be able to sit or stand still—the one who wants to train for a triathlon NOW—how about some cold spray, ice packs and warming balms for the aches and pains from all those workouts?
  • Find a classic-style alarm clock (ideally a used one), bonk it with a mallet like you’re a cartoon character, then place both clock and mallet in a box or gift bag. (Much cheaper and more practical than smashing their phone.) Because hey, you won’t be needing that daily wake-up call anymore!
  • If they don’t already have one, how about a subscription to AARP magazine? Because it’s official now. (Last time we saw one of those offers, it had a free cooler for your car trunk! Noice!)
  • Silly reading glasses, since they should really play the part of the retired person now.
  • Wearable blanket, since they’ll have lots of time to relax.
  • Funny jigsaw puzzle, either because the image is a shared joke or maybe it’s just an impossible one with a thousand pieces.
  • Weekly pill organizer with funny daily labels and prompts.

  • A funny card with a gift card tucked inside. Bonus points if it’s for a diner or restaurant that offers an “early bird special.”

Funny gifts for Dad or Mom  

Your parent(s) raised you well, or maybe they just did their friggin’ best, okay? Anyway, few people on earth will ever have more long-running inside jokes with you than Mom or Dad. Here are just a few small ways to celebrate that fact:

Funny gifts for a friend or best friend  

Your friends might be the ones you laugh with the most! Show them how much you enjoy them with a funny gift.

  • For a friend group, think about giving a funny gift that’s meant to be passed around, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”-style. Ex: a journal you all take turns sharing and adding funny moments of your week.
  • A friendship bracelet with a snarky quote or a reference to a funny inside joke you share.
  • Matching T-shirts or necklaces featuring a silly picture, icon or symbol.
  • A mug featuring generational humor, like facts from growing up Gen X. Example: “Raised on hose water.”

  • A wine glass with a funny, friendship-related quote.
  • A sweatshirt about being the best friend ever, but in a sassy way.
  • Matching sweater or dog pajamas for them and their dog. Like a sweatshirt with the dog’s face for the human and a sweatshirt with the human’s face on it for the dog.
  • A notebook with a funny title.
  • This funny drinkware set with mini liquor bottles or energy drink powder packets.
  • Funny decor sign to grace the shelf in their office or the wall in their kitchen.

Funny gifts for a boyfriend or girlfriend  

Is your girlfriend a prankster? Does your boyfriend make hilarious commentary? Keep the good times rolling with a funny gift.

  • “I think you’re HOT!” Fill this dumpster fire mug with candle/matches.
  • A silly stress ball in a flirty shape, like kissy lips.
  • Matching unisex necklaces or stainless-steel bracelets with a funny quote you both love.
  • A Charmers glass with a “sexy AF” charm.
  • A frame with silly word balloons holding a fun picture of you two together.
  • A novelty keychain and a key to your place…if you (and they!) are ready for that step in the relationship.

Funny gifts for a husband or wife  

If you need funny gift ideas for your husband or wife, look no further. Well, a little bit further. Keep reading.

  • A flattering T-shirt (that flatters you) and reads “My husband/wife is the best!”
  • “I’m with him/her” matching T-shirts. These are especially fun if you’re going on a trip.
  • Orrrrr matching T-shirts that say something funny like “Living the boring old married couple dream.”
  • Matching pajamas and slippers that are obnoxious. Imagine a glorious morning with both of you padding around in slippers that bark, say a favorite movie quote or make some other sound effect.
  • A “Mr.” mug filled with a silly snack like jerky sticks made of strange animals or a “Mrs.” mug filled with things she’s always leaving around, like hair ties and bobby pins.

Pro tip: Hobbies, collections or passions of your recipients are great places to start. Maybe they love frogs, a good glass of bourbon or are outspoken about politics. A sign, a planter or mug with a funny sentiment about it probably exists.

Funny gifts for a brother or sister  

Your sibling was the first person you ever truly annoyed (and who annoyed you). That also means they were the first person to also truly get you in a way no one else ever will. Here are a few funny gift ideas for your brother or sister that will help you celebrate that eternal bond!

  • A photo book or album filled with funny photos from way back when to the present.
  • Custom T-shirt with one of your favorite family inside jokes or something that gets at a silly or quirky tradition. “Will give awkward side hugs if absolutely necessary” is a good one.
  • A sweatshirt that literally says “Here’s that sweatshirt I borrowed.”
  • Re-gift them the funny gift or card they gave you last year. Encourage them to give it back to you next year. Make it a tradition.
  • A back-scratcher with a hand-like tool that you can write on or attach a message to, like “Quit touching me!” or “Here’s something else to scratch with for a change.”
  • Is there a vintage toy they used to love as a kid? You could track it down on an auction site somewhere and then give it to them with something snarky added, like “Since you’re never actually going to grow up.”
  • If they’re a big sports fan, they must have a rival team they can’t stand, college or pro. Get them a hat, shirt or some other fan gear from that despised team!

Funny gifts for men  

Men, amirite? We think they’re simple, but when we try to think of something to get them, it’s like 🤷. Well, we’re here to help you with that. We’ve got some funny gift ideas for the guys in your life who love to laugh and might already have everything they need but don’t have…you know, one of these:

  • The best thing about these “football is my favorite F word” socks is that doesn’t even have to be exactly true for him to still love getting them.
  • Who doesn’t need a good trinket tray? Especially if he loses his keys and wallet on the regular? Plus, this one has a funny but affirming mantra that’ll put a smile on his face.
  • And speaking of keys, help him spice up his daily errands or commute with this punny “taco ’bout amazing” keychain (coming soon!).
  • He doesn’t even have to be an actual cat person to love the attitude of this “I dare you to put a drink on me” coaster.
  • For the man who likes a good cocktail but who’s also been through a tough time, this therapeutically sweary “take a deep breath” rocks glass might be just the thing he needs to get through it.

Funny gifts for a coworker or boss  

Whether you work in a busy office, a bustling restaurant, a lively classroom or any other place where you share the daily highs and lows, it’s important to take a moment to laugh about the things you go through together. Here are a handful of funny gift ideas for your coworkers or boss: 

  • For a workplace BFF or work spouse, this frame with silly word balloons like “should have been famous” and “thriving” (coming soon!) provides the perfect setup for an iconic pic of y’all together at whatever forced-fun team event you had to attend.
  • What better way to share tiny little important office messages than with this dumpster fire notepad that includes a pencil (coming soon!)
  • One joke that never gets old? “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!” But that’s better told at home. The workplace version is more subtle, like this travel mug that implies it but doesn’t implicate anyone. 🙂
  • Did someone get a fancy promotion or do something shoutout-worthy? Download a certificate template and commemorate the occasion in style.
  • Get them a stress ball to help deal with whatever nonsense you’re both currently rolling your eyes about.
  • Have a colleague who’s particularly spacey? How about a small notebook with a funny dedication inside about how this could, you know, help with that?
  • Sometimes the inside jokes from work are lines from movies and shows. Sometimes they’re just things that someone said. Sometimes both. How about a customizable pencil set with one of your mutual faves printed on them?
  • For a boss, nothing says respect and authority like this “kind of a big dill” tea towel!
  • Is your manager more lowkey? How about the “I can barely contain my excitement” mug (coming soon!) paired with a funny message: “This is clearly you, getting to work with such amazing and not-at-all-annoying humans every day.” 😀

  • A small pillow so they can nap after “putting up with me/us.”
  • Gather a bunch of their favorite snacks, drinks and gift cards. Put it all in a basket or gift bag and call it an educator’s survival kit.
  • Advent-style calendar or similar countdown activity to help them count down the days until the next school break.
  • Funny coffee mug…accompanied by a bottle of wine or their favorite liquor.
  • An eye mask to soothe their eyes after all the things they can’t unsee.
  • A hat or shirt that says “THE BOSS” to help them remember their role, even when the kids don’t make them feel that way.
  • “Go ask your parent(s)” or “I’m not your babysitter” desk sign.
  • A stress ball that says cuss words every time you squeeze it…to use at home. 😂
  • A massage gift card enclosed in a note. “For when teaching is a pain!”
