Christmas Gag Gifts

Christmas Gag Gifts Spread Cheer and Insults at the Same Time

Let's face it, there are just some people for whom a gag gift is perfect at Christmas. Could be your boss, buddy, a co-worker, or great Uncle Bob.

Some of those folks seriously enjoy a good laugh and some you want to insult without insulting them. A good gag gift is the perfect cover - they'll never know if you were serious or not.

Regardless of your reason for giving a Christmas gag gift, you can't go wrong. They're timeless, uni-sex and ambiguous, all at the same time.

Here are a few ideas to get your creative gag gift juices flowing.

Let These 2 Settle the Dispute

Accoutrements Mr.Bacon Vs. Monsieur Tofu Action Figures
Amazon Price: $7.11
List Price: $12.99

Christmas Gag Gifts for the Vegans On Your List

Are you in constant conflict with the non-meat eater in your life? Well, let peace reign during this holiday season. Let Mr. Bacon and Monsieur Tofu battle it out while you and your vegan friend just enjoy the season with a glass of organic beer or wine. Raise your glasses, clink to a toast then sit back and watch the fight.

A Christmas Story Night Light

NECA A Christmas Story Nightlight
Amazon Price: $7.48
List Price: $19.95

Christmas Gag Gift or Lovely Decor Item?

One of my favourite movies for this time of year is A Christmas Story. If you've seen the movie, this 9" night light needs no explanation. If you haven't seen the flick, you definitely should! It's so, so good. You'll laugh your butt off and be left craving one of these lamps for your very own.

........................................................................................................

Christmas Movie

This product, the one to left of this text capsule, that's the movie I was talking about above. This is an adaptation of a book and the screenplay is hilariously brilliant! Watch Ralphie go through bee bee gun angst; see Randy plow his face through mashed potatoes; witness the hilarity of invading neighbour dogs and of course, the classic leg lamp scenes. Oh, you are going to absolutely LOVE this movie! Everyone does, so don't get left out. Pick up a copy today then gather the family around the tube for family movie night. A Christmas Story is extremely family friendly, even young kids can watch.

A Christmas Story

A Christmas Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)

List Price: $26.98

A Christmas Story Leg Clock

No Amazon products found

It's Time for a Practical Gag Gift

Okay, go ahead and tell me you don't love this clock! How can you possibly resist? This would make a great companion to the leg lamp night light above. The recipient would know just how much you care with this wonderful gift from A Christmas Story and complements perfectly, any high-end decor.

Great Gag Gift Idea for the Whole Family

WhinnyCoo Clock - CooClock
Amazon Price: $59.99

Nothin' Says Christmas Like a Whinnycoo Clock

This wacky wall mount horse coo-coo clock with swinging pendulum won Gift of the Year Award in 2004. Instead of the traditional coo-coo, the horse comes out of the clock to whinny. The sound automatically turns in in a darkened room. Requires 3 x D and 1 x AA batteries (not included).

Woot!

Anatomically Correct Gingerbread

Need something a little more affordable? How about this couple?

There must be someone on your Christmas shopping list who would really like to have a pair of anatomically correct gingerbread ornaments.

Perfect for members of the clergy, your mom, great Aunt Ethel and the paperboy.

........................................................................................................

Fun for Everyone!

Flingshot Flying Barnyard Chicken with Sound
Amazon Price: $1.50
List Price: $9.99

Cock-a-Doodle-Do!

What a great gift idea for putting in Christmas stockings or for that person that you don't really want to spend real money on.

It shoots up to 50 ft. and squawks like a real chicken. Perfect for church, funerals or school. Heck, why not give one to your pastor and teacher this year! They can use it to wake people up who've fallen asleep when they were supposed to be listening.

........................................................................................................

Great Disguise!

Groucho Fuzzy Nose and Glasses
Amazon Price: $2.30

Back to Basics

Do you have any shy or insecure people to buy for this year? If so, this gift may be considered thoughtful. We all like to be thought of that way, don't we?

This is a terrific gift for those who are unhappy with their looks, or want to hide. Lightweight and natural looking.

........................................................................................................

So Seasonal!

Santa Claus Hat with Flashing Blue Snowflakes
Amazon Price: $6.99

Christmas Ha-Ha

How absolutely flippin' perfect is this? Make the recipient wear it out in public for full effect - preferably a business meeting. If they start bandying about words like, 'tacky', 'junvenile' or 'ridiculous', just ignore them. They obviously need a shot of Christmas spirit, so it will do them good.

........................................................................................................

A Touch of Class

No Amazon products found

Booby-Prize

A must for any bar or pub room! These boobies jiggle away in time to music and when someone walks by. Forget the talking fish plaques, you need bouncing boobies!

Wouldn't your dad or priest just love one of these?

Perfect Gag Gift for Those in Santa's Bad Books

Let this gift say what you really mean. Two sets of imitation lumps of coal in luxurious red gift bags. Thoughtful and delivers a message. Let them interpret it as they may.

........................................................................................................

Novelty Bandages

BANDAGE - PICKLE
Amazon Price: $0.01

Pickles Make the Perfect Gag Gifts

If pickles aren't funny enough for you, these bandages also come in bacon, beef and monkeys. Personal injury can be fun!

Lots of great ideas for novelty gifts, Shirley. I once brought home a gag gift that I got at a Christmas party grab bag, but I don't see it here. It was a beautifully packaged assortment of Road Apples. I don't remember what ever happened to them!

William, I've never heard the term, Road Apples, but my imagination can come up with an idea or two about what they are. Perhaps you re-gifted them to some lucky soul?

Shirley I love the flying chicken. I know just the perfect person for that one. My son and son-in-law try to outdo each other every year with the most ridiculous gag-gifts. It's my favorite part of the un-wraping ceremonies when these two adult men sit at the edge of their seat wondering what will jump...scream...or just plainly smear itself onto them soon. I love it.

great hub regards Zsuzsy

Shirley Anderson Hub Author 3 years ago

Zsuzsy, that sounds like a lot of fun to watch! If it helps, they have other animals, too. There's a screaming monkey....I forget what the others were. Have they ever given each the same gift?

Tirisacha - I had never seen those anatomically correct gingerbread people before, thought they funny. Not sure if I'd want to hang them on my tree but they were good for a laugh - for both sexes, you're right.
