Below we've compiled the best funny Christmas gifts to suit all the different types of jokesters out there.
Funny Christmas gifts for 2019
1. The Very Embarrassing Book Of Dad Jokes
Let's face it, they probably tell a lot of 'dad jokes' so why not add to their repertoire with this handy book of gags? We accept that you may live to regret this.
2. Sunnylife Rainbow Splash Slip 'n' Slide
Jokers are big kids at heart so they'll be desperate to break out this inflatable slip 'n' slide as soon as possible. In fact we wouldn't put it past them to set it up on Boxing Day for some chilly thrills.
3. Comedy Night for Two
If they act like a stand up comedian whenever they're holding court, then treat them to a night out to watch the professionals in action.
4. Holy Waters Hip Flask
You've got to love a sassy slogan and this hip flask will provide the LOLs for your funny friend. They'll be able to riff about the Virgin Mary and Virgin Mojitos for hours.
5. Instant Poetry Journal
This tongue in cheek book will help them craft poetry from their one-liners. Haikus, limericks and sonnets can all benefit from a joke or two and maybe they'll actually discover a talent they never knew they had.
6. Typo lucky cat novelty pen
A quirky person needs and even quirkier pen. This is cute and will contribute to the air of whimsy that no doubt surrounds them at the office.
7. Chocolate Brussels Sprouts
They look like Brussels Sprouts but are made from white chocolate. Imagine the fun they'll have offering them around pretending they're the real thing.
8. Upside Down Wine Glass
Nope, this isn't a mistake. It's exactly what it looks like. It's an upside down wine glass. That's it. It is its own joke. The drunker you get, the funnier it becomes.
9. So You Think You’re A Millennial
If your wag of a mate is middle aged and loves a good moan about the snowflake generation then they'll lap this up. If, on the other hand, they're a millennial then Jo Hoare's book should get them chuckling in recognition at the accurate description of their own kind.
10. Marshmallow Vodka
A gag-tastic addition to a wannabe comedian's drinks trolley. Everyone enjoys a good marshmallow so why not add it to vodka too?
11. World’s Smallest Voice Changer
This mini voice changer will distort and amplify their jokes in four different voices. Again you may regret buying this... But they'll love it.
12. OH HELL NO Stamp
To be fair we can think of a few things we'd like to use this OH HELLO NO stamp on and your witty companion will no doubt have a field day branding all and sundry too. And, if that isn't funny enough, it's customisable too.
13. Menkind beer pong game
A jokester will always be the first to suggest a game at any gathering so give them the tools (if not the beer) to instigate a game of beer pong. For something more sophisticated than beer pong try gin or even Prosecco.
14. 50 Totally Stupid Real-Life Reasons To Work Out
Because how will you carry those not-so-stupid six-packs from the supermarket to your house if you haven't done your annual deadlift and 10 minute power walk this year.
15. Inflatable Champagne Bottle
The only thing better than an inflatable Champagne bottle is real Champagne. But, this will do for now. Cue being whacked about a little with this fun accessory.
16. Fresh Face personalised air freshener
Their face (or yours) on a car air freshener. Pure LOLs. Oh and they come in five tempting scents; Bacon, Coffee, Fresh Linen, Island Breeze, and New Car Smell. But of course.
17. Areaware Turquoise Bracelet Flask
A bracelet that doubles up as a flask? Who wouldn't want to find one of these in their stocking on Christmas morning?
18. Kikkerland Mini Karaoke Microphone
This mini mic will plug into their smartphone and once they've downloaded the corresponding app, they'll be able to sing along to their favourite tunes for the pleasure of everyone around them. Karaoke on the move.
19. It's F*cking Boiling USB Fan
Nothing sends a clearer message during the summer than this fan. It's hot, it's sweaty, it's f*cking boiling. If used in the office, this handy device may surprise a few colleagues, but hopefully they'll laugh too.
20. Only Fools - The (cushty) Dining Experience for Two
This is an absolute must for any Only Fools and Horses fans out there. While dining on a three course meal, fans are immersed into the world of the multi-award winning comedy. Expect laughter – loads of it.
