Why Give Gag Gifts

Although Christmas is certainly an important religious holiday, marking the birth of Christ and celebration of His life, it is also a time when family and friends typically get together for fun and making memories. The Christmas holiday season is filled with joy, so there is nothing wrong with the giving of a few joke gag gifts. While most of the gifts people typically give for Christmas are either sentimental, practical, or luxury items, a funny gift is a priceless treasure as it may have people remembering and laughing for decades to come.

A word of warning: be sure the recipient also knows the special relationship the two of you have -- after all, you wouldn't give a gag gift to just anyone.

When to Give Gag Gifts

When is it appropriate to give gag gifts? And just who is it appropriate to give joke presents to? The answers to these questions will be largely determined on your personal relationships. For most people, for example, giving a gag gift to their pastor or other clergyman would be inappropriate. If you are good friends with the pastor, however, as is often the case in small towns, and regularly go fishing together, a gag fishing gift might be perfectly appropriate around the holidays.

Similarly, the etiquette of joke gifts in the workplace will depend on the type of relationships you have with your co-workers and type of atmosphere you work in. If it is a casual workplace, a gag might be more acceptable than in more formal corporate environment.

A few general rules to keep in mind when giving gag gifts include:

  • Refrain from giving gag tokens when other people who may be offended will be present.
  • Deliver gags with adult, toilet, or other questionable humor only around recipients who won't be offended.
  • Likewise, do not give gag presents when children are present if there is any questionable element to the gift's humor.
  • If the gag includes an "inside" joke that only you and the recipient know, either give the gag in private or tell the story prior to the gift giving so other guests do not feel excluded.

People who you may want to refrain from giving joke gifts to include:

  • In Laws
  • Teachers
  • Bosses or authorities in the workplace
  • Political leaders in the community
  • Government employees (postal worker, judge, etc.)

Homemade Christmas Gag Gift Ideas

Close friends and family members are typically the people to whom gags are endeared, and they can make great stocking stuffers. Although they can be given any time of year, the following Christmas gag gift ideas work well around the holidays, and they are gifts easily made at home.

  • Rudolph or Reindeer "Poop": Malted milk balls or chocolate covered raisins placed in a plastic bag or container and tied with festive ribbon. The recipients won't mind being punished with this edible gag!
  • Snowman "Poop:" Mini marshmallows are the snowman's waste - perfect gag for kids and adults.
  • Dropped Cookies: Place a collection of festive holiday cookies on a clean dustpan and wrap with saran wrap or cellophane. Affix a message that you have salvaged the "dropped" cookies for the recipient.
  • Natural Bubble Bath: A small bag of dried beans, the "magical fruit," with directions to prepare and eat before bathing… for a personal bubble filled whirlpool experience.

  • Kids Booger Box: A tiny box, any kind, with a few small pieces of dried rubber cement -- likely to get a laugh and gross out older kids.
  • Missing Pieces: Give a board, challenge or trivia game with missing pieces or missing instructions. Suggest the game be played at the gathering or party to reveal the gag.
