9 Christmas Gag Gifts for a Hilarious Holiday

If you want to give a gift no one can return, we're all about the gift of laughter. The best way to get your friends and family smiling this holiday is with hilarious Christmas 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 that can have people remembering and laughing for decades to come. There are lots of great options out there, from gag gifts you make yourself to purchased items that are guaranteed to get a laugh. Choosing the right Christmas gag gift is all about knowing your audience and picking the perfect gift to match.

A sleep mask is always a nice present for anyone who struggles to get a little shut-eye, but you can up the impact by going with a zombie theme. This is especially funny for new parents with a sense of humor since they're probably already walking around feeling like zombies. This zombie sleep mask is printed with the eyes of the undead and makes a great stocking stuffer.

If you know someone who loves jigsaw puzzles (and maybe dogs too), we're all about this hilarious pooping puppies puzzle. It comes in 1,000 or 500 pieces and features a whole lawn full of puppies doing their business. It's extra funny as a present for people who hate scooping dog doo-doo off the lawn (which is pretty much all of us, right?).

You know how there are those products that just make you really glad to live in this modern day and age? We're not talking about smartphones or streaming shows to binge-watch. We're talking about this funny squirrel puppet set. The five-piece kit makes the perfect gag gift for kids and adults alike. It comes with a squirrel head and four feet for some hilarious nutty action.

The perfect Christmas gag gift for co-workers and friends, this dumpster fire desk caddy is sure to have them cracking up. After all, when life seems a little out of control (or a lot), all you can really do is laugh. The caddy comes with flame-shaped note cards and a space to store pens and pencils.

We can't stop laughing about these animal paw socks, which look exactly like the feet of all different kinds of critters. Choose from dinosaurs, cats, dogs, and more for a gag gift or stocking stuffer that's going to make everyone go wild. We think our favorite is the polar bear, but they're all awesome.

You might not think that rodents can rock, but this awesome t-shirt proves otherwise. Featuring capybaras with lightning bolts, this is the kind of holiday gag gift they'll actually enjoy wearing.

Don't settle for just wearing an ugly Christmas sweater this year — give the gift of drinking from one, too. This Christmas sweater mug is enough to make even Scrooge crack a smile. With a holiday sweater that you can remove to reveal a hairy belly, it's sure to get a few giggles as a gag gift.

Peppermint is fine and all, but wrap up a little something savory if you want to give a totally hilarious holiday gag gift. These gravy-flavored candy canes might not be on their list, but they'll appreciate the magic anyway.

There's just something about opossums that makes people laugh (unless we're talking about a direct encounter), and this funny toy is a great gag gift for adults, kids, and anyone on your list. It's a set of three racing possums. You just pull back on these varmints and let them go. Even the loser is a winner.
