17 Funny Christmas Gifts

Last updated: 4 months ago

There's always one person on your list who you'd rather make laugh than impress. Not because you don't care — if anything, it's the opposite. Getting the funny gift right takes more thought than people give it credit for, because it has to land. A joke that misses is just a slightly awkward object sitting under the tree.

The best funny gifts have something underneath the humour — a bit of warmth, a nod to an in-joke, a sense that you actually know this person. That's what separates genuinely good from novelty-shop filler. Everything in this guide has that quality. You'll know the right one when you see it.

1. Personalised Hoodie

A personalised hoodie is one of those gifts that actually gets worn. Stick her name on it, an inside joke, whatever — it's cosy, it's Christmas, and it's got a bit of thought behind it.

2. Santa Costume

A Santa costume is one of those gifts that pretty much guarantees a laugh. Whether they wear it to a Christmas party or just to answer the door on Christmas morning, it never gets old.
