Any millennial will get a kick out of bopping, twisting, and pulling this teeny tiny throwback toy—the perfect small gift idea.

Stick this “nothing”-labeled pocket of air into the stocking of the person who constantly tells you that they don’t want Christmas gifts. Listen, they asked for it!

Your dad who’s all fore a prank will get a belly laugh out of this unique gift. It’s a putting mat that fits around the base of their toilet and comes with a club, balls, cup, and even a “do not disturb” sign they can hang on the bathroom door.

A “not my job” stamp is the ideal gift for your coworker who’s always complaining to you that they didn’t “sign up for this.” Just, er, be careful that your boss doesn’t see it.

This squatting golden retriever can be fitted over any toothpaste tube’s top, so that when your friend squeezes, each dollop of paste dispenses out of the dog’s butt. It’s gross, yes, but also delightfully shocking for the person with a raunchier sense of humor.

For the boss or coworker that beelines straight for the Keurig every morning, here’s a coffee mug that looks like a mini coffee pot. Handily, the gadget shows them how much they’ve had to sip (with level markers up to 20 ounces), just like a real pot.

Some gag gifts get pretty gross, but not so with these sweet little socks. Each one has a smiling face and hands that magnetically hold each other when brought together. Aww. Add a gift card and this is the perfect Secret Santa gift idea.

Here’s some trash they won’t want to take out: a dumpster pencil holder that arrives already on fire (filled with flamed-shaped sticky notes, that is).

May the force be with whoever receives these chopsticks, which are actually little light sabers. Whoever said food isn’t for play?

They say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but arguably most of the fun of this under-$20 gift is what’s on the outside. Externally, it looks like a box that holds a hot tub that attracts squirrels. If that sounds improbable, it’s because it is. You can put your actual gift inside the empty box, but the absurd outside design will likely be more memorable—especially if you commit to convincing your giftee that squirrels would really appreciate a jacuzzi.

Need a gift for a new mom or dad? Try a pacifier with a mustache attached to it, effectively turning their baby into a tiny Tom Selleck while keeping them content.

Though they look like two butterfly pasta noodles, each of these adorable silicone pieces fit around the fingers and protect them from getting burned on a hot pot.

Though it may look too silly to wear in public, this half-blanket, half-full-body-hoodie is definitely the gift your friends will fight over during your White Elephant gift exchange. It’s super cozy and has a pocket spacious enough to fit a Chihuahua or a bowl of popcorn. “My husband got me this, and, TBH, I was skeptical. But now I can’t wait to swaddle myself in it on cold nights,” says Glamour’s commerce director, Brie Schwartz, of the TikTok-favorite product.

What’s better than a burrito? Your loved one wrapped up in a tortilla blanket that effectively turns them into a burrito. Don’t forget the hot sauce.

“I can’t believe it’s not butter!” they’ll say when their gift box reveals this candle stick…of butter.

This little container is packed with jelly beans that come in a mix of scrumptious flavors (juicy pear, birthday cake, toasted marshmallow) and nasty ones too (dirty dishwater, old bandage, dead fish). It’s a fun gag gift for the kid (or adult) who delights in disgust.

Your giftee will be soy surprised to unwrap this container of sushi—only to find that each roll is actually a sock! What’s particularly impressive is how cleverly packaged the gift box is, down to delightful details like balls of thread that resemble wasabi and ginger.

The best gag gifts are the most nonsensical, like this package of bandages that look like pickles. “Why?” you ask. Why not?

They’ve heard of Cat in the Hat, but what about a hat that holds the cat? Pack your true present (or another gag gift) inside this joke box and see how long it takes your cat lover to realize this isn’t a real product.

Toilet humor falls squarely under the gag gift category. This retro-looking can contains a pair of emergency underwear—disposable undies for those “just in case” scenarios. It’s the kind of hilarious gift sure to get a big LOL from the group (and hopefully never any kind of real use).

Each square of this toilet paper is made to look like a crisp $100 bill. Pair the roll with a card that says something like, “So now you can feel what it’s like to be flush with cash.”

The push of this megaphone’s button enables them to switch up how their voice sounds, with 10 different settings to choose from. It’s good silly fun and can lead to all sorts of prank-calling shenanigans.

Encourage them to share some of the yummy potato chips from this can with everyone, just so you can experience your giftee’s reaction to a giant snake springing out of it. Make sure someone’s got a camera rolling.

Here’s an amusing gift for the dad or boyfriend whose tastes veer towards the practical—a prank box that looks like it houses six pairs of socks that are also multi-pocketed cargo pants. They’re so useful! There’s phone storage around the ankle, and you can even wear them with flip-flops! (Too bad they’re not real.)

The best friend who geeks out over all things miniature (relatable) will get a giggle over this jumbo-size Tic Tac container which is stuffed with—surprise!—60 tiny Tic Tac containers.

This little guy is a play on the soldier toys from childhood but is posed in such a way that it can crack open a bottle of soda or beer.

Each coaster in this set of six looks like a vinyl record, but each song name is subtly themed to match its purpose (“No Marks on the Table,” for instance).

Here’s an under-$10 prank that gives you everything you need for a much better present—a set of batteries (gift not included).

Kids often have the trickiest tastes of all, as any parent well knows. For them, may we present this bib stamped with “Food Critic” in a New York Times–esque font.

One more practical joke for the road, this time designed to look like a vest their dog or cat can wear with magnetic fasteners inside to secure a plate or bowl to their backs—turning them into butlers. Now, if only this were a real thing!
