Sometimes the best Christmas gifts are totally useless. Sure, heartfelt, thoughtful gifts are great, but that’s just not an option for some friends or family members. We all know that one person who will appreciate the gift of a good laugh over anything else. The best gag gifts may seem like silly throwaway presents at first, but ultimately, what you’re giving is the gift of laughter.
Luckily, online retailers like Amazon, Target and Urban Outfitters have made it easy to score the best funny gifts that make for the best stocking stuffers at wildly affordable prices. Below we’ve rounded up 50 of the dumbest, most useless gifts for any best friend, office jokester or comically-inclined loved one. From hilarious sticky notes to farting unicorns and inappropriately sized wine glasses, here are the best funny gifts to buy right now.
1. Baby Yoda Chia Pet
This is the best stocking stuffer for meme-lovers, The Mandalorian and Star Wars fanatics alike because we’re pretty sure that there is nothing more adorable than little Baby Yoda chilling in his bassinet. So whether you’re looking for the best Star Wars gifts or just want to gift some cute Baby Yoda merch, this Baby Yoda Chia Pet from Urban Outfitters will spark joy and (literal) life to anyone lucky enough to receive it.
Buy: Baby Yoda Chia Pet $26.00
2. Golden Girls Shot Glasses
Not only are these Golden Girls shot glasses the best stocking stuffer that will have anyone singing “thank you for being a friend,” but they also come with a drinking game. Every character comes with their signature word written on the back of the glass, so when you hear it mentioned in an episode, it’ll be time to drink. Now only one question remains: are you a Rose, Blanche, Dorothy or Sophia?
Buy: Golden Girls Shot Glasses $23.99
3. Hand Sanitizer Christmas Ornament
If you’re looking for timely stocking stuffer ideas that will bring a chuckle to anyone who receives it, meet the hand sanitizer Christmas ornament. Given how relevant hand sanitizer has become these days, we think it deserves to sit center stage on the Christmas tree like the star that it is.
Buy: Hand Sanitizer Ornament $13.61
4. Golf Ball Beer Glass
We can’t guarantee that this beer glass can improve your golf game, but it will undoubtedly score a hole in one as a gift at any holiday party or birthday. And yes, that’s an actual golf ball lodged into the side of the glass — making this the best funny gift for the sports fanatic in your life. However, the best part is that the glass is dishwasher safe, and it can hold a 16-ounce pour (or pretty darn close to it).
Buy: Golf Ball Beer Glass $25.99
5. Plant Watering IV Bag
We all know that plants need water, so why not infuse a little humor into the situation. This “plant life support” IV kit gradually hydrates, providing just the right amount of H20. It comes with the IV bag, drip, tubes and metal peg stand to complete the look.
Buy: Plant Watering IV Bag $15.00
6. Prank Pack
These prank packs aren’t actually a gag gift at all, but the gag is making the recipient think that they’re getting something bizarre, when in fact, it’s an entirely normal gift. Choose from one of these three boxes that you can place your gift of choice inside, so when they initially unwrap, they’ll think they’re getting pet dusting boots, poop covers or an animal translator.
Buy: Prank Packs $7.99 (orig. $9.95) 20% OFF
7. Smoko Dumpling Light
For the foodie in your life, they’ll appreciate this adorably funny dumpling light. It’s wildly unique and even provides a nice soft glow. The food-shaped light is battery-operated, and it can fit in the palm of your hand so that it can go anywhere. Even when it’s turned off, it still looks like the happiest little shelf decoration, and it will bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Buy: Smoko Dumpling Light $16.00
8. Animal Butt Magnets
Everybody likes a little booty, even in the form of animal magnets. These silly butts can be coming off of farm animals, cats, dogs, or safari animals. Use them to post notes on the fridge or any other magnetic surface to add a bit of humor to whatever you have to say.
Buy: Animal Butt Magnets $12.35
9. Snoop Dogg’s Cookbook
Who better than Snoop Dogg to help you level up your sizzlin’ skills in the kitchen? The cookbook features 50 recipes, including mealtime staples and some notable stand-outs like Rolls Royce PB-Chocolate Chip Cookies, Bow Wow Brownies and Ice Cream, and Rags to Riches Apple Pie. However, be sure to keep an eye on the temperature of the pan. You wouldn’t want to drop it like it’s hot (sorry, we couldn’t resist).
Buy: Snoop Dogg Cookbook $24.95
10. Custom Face Socks
Want your friend to wear their pet on their feet? Or for your girlfriend to wear your face on her feet? This gag gift is also functional since everyone needs socks. Pick a color and a face of your choosing to give a gag gift that somebody will actually get to use.
11. Mini Violin
Maybe your friend cracked their phone (for the seventh time). Possibly their delivered burrito didn’t include guacamole. There are endless uses for playing the world’s tiniest violin, and now you can actually pretend to play a real tiny violin to get the point across. This mini violin measures three inches in length and includes a bow and functioning case. Break this out at work, parties or anywhere with friends, and you’re sure to get a laugh.
12. I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats
Need a gag gift for a cat lover? This is the way to go. It’s a cute and silly book full of poems written from the perspective of cats. It’s quirky but curious and insightful for another gage gift that people will kick out of.
Buy: I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats $8.46 (orig. $12.95) 35% OFF
13. Cold Beer Coats
A tiny puffer jacket for your beer may not be essential, but it’ll definitely give you a laugh. Thanks to the soft nylon on the outside and metallic fabric lining the inside, it actually serves a purpose. Your beer stays cold while your hand stays warm, so it’s functional while also being a cute and fun gag gift.
14. TUSHY Spa Premium Warm Water Bidet Attachment
While this isn’t necessarily a gag gift, it’s also not anything your buddies will ever see coming. No matter the pal, gift them the TUSHY warm water bidet attachment for their toilet. It’s honestly a lovely gift to give, but it also has that subtle institutional undertone.
Buy: TUSHY Spa Premium Warm Water Bidet Attachment $119.00

Dad jokes are cringe-worthy, dumb and cheesy. But we love them all the same. This little book compiles a few great dad jokes for your old man to reference if his personal dad joke well ever runs dry.
