When it comes to buying gifts, I usually like to give either homemade gifts, like mugs or fleece blankets, or gag gifts. I like gag gifts because they usually have something to do with an inside joke. Whenever I get something funny or homemade, it's my favorite gift, and I love keeping it somewhere where I can see it to put me in a better mood. So here are this year's top 10 gag gifts, from the expert herself.
1. Melted Snowman.
This one is pretty cheap, but with some candy and a cute bag, it could be perfect for a low-cost Secret Santa exchange. It's also perfect for anyone in a time crunch! It's also good for letting people know you literally had no time to prepare for Christmas while expressing your creativity at the same time.
2. Santa-Tizer
Who doesn't need sanitizer? This is adorable and easy, and it's perfect if you like giving little gifts for your teachers or administrators. Plus, it doubles as a Christmas decoration!
3. Camera Lens Tumbler Mug
These are great for anyone who loves photography or crazy mugs. A fun thing to do is let the receiver of this gift think you got them a really expensive, high-tech camera lens until they realize it's just a mug. This mug is great because it's portable and thermal, so the user can take it to go and confuse people from lots of different places. Plus, they only cost about $10! Find it on Amazon here.
4. Bacon Band-Aids
Who wouldn't love these? They're fun, cheap, and bound to get a good laugh. Get ready for lots of people pointing out the bacon stuck to your leg all day. Find it on Amazon here.
5. Poo-Pourri
If you haven't heard of this stuff, then today's your lucky day. It's been getting big, and I've seen more and more of it in people's bathrooms in the past year. Whenever you go poo in someone's bathroom, you can spray it right after you're done and it will eliminate the smell and leave a light, fresh scent. Not only is it functional and classy, but it's also a fun gift to give, especially if you're on a budget. Find it on Amazon here.
6. Inflatable Unicorn Horn
I don't know anyone who would not want to be a unicorn. In fact, if one of my friends is reading this, please buy me this, because I'll wear it to my finals without shame. This gift is amazing, and not only can you use it for people, you can also dress up your pets! It's budget-friendly and multifunctional, with hours of fun guaranteed. Find it on Amazon here.
7. Extendable Spoon
With its extendable handle, this spoon allows the user to covertly steal food off of someone else's plate. This gift is perfect for anyone who's a moocher like me. Though it may not be a good idea to give it to someone when you hate being mooched off of, it's still an amazing gift. Don't be selfish. Find it on Amazon here.
8. Butt Face Soap
This soap is great because nobody wants to use the same part of the soap for your butt and your face, right? The bar has two different-smelling sides so as to avoid this problem. It's a great gift for anyone you dislike but have to be nice to. It sends the passive-aggressive message of, "I dislike you, but I'm giving you soap, so just keep thinking I like you." If you don't know what to get that person in your life you have to pretend to like, I recommend giving this gift. Find it on Amazon here.
9. 3D Cat Playing Cards
These are just precious, and if you don't like cats, then you will after playing with these. These cats come to life as you play, and at times even seem to jump right off the card. They're perfect for the person in your life who loves cats and gambling with the same intensity. Find them on Amazon here.
10. Instant Audience
If you know someone like me who lives off of the approval of others, this is the perfect gift. It features multiple sounds of approval, including applause and even booing, if you want to be hard on yourself or others. It's also convenient for those times during a presentation in class when everyone is falling asleep. With the push of a button, you get the approval you desire! Find it on Amazon here.
