Funny Signs & Gifts

Give the night owl who has everything a funny sign.


If you're having trouble finding a good gift for a co-worker or friend, funny signs are fun. You can find a vast array of signs in novelty shops or online so it's easy to find one that seems custom-made for your recipient. Measuring about a square foot on average, most signs are colorful and easy to hang. Funny signs may refer to an inside joke or simply cheer your recipient up on a rough day.


For Animal Lovers


Many animal lovers get a kick out of images and phrases that personify animals. A "WELCOME" sign featuring a dog or cat looking like royalty will forewarn guests that the pets of the house are running the show. Likewise, "WARNING" signs of a grouchy cat or princess puppy will make the owner smile every time she cleans the litter box or returns home hauling 20 pounds of pet food. A tiara or plush cat pillow are examples of small token gifts that go well with funny animal signs.


For the Office


Lighten the mood of your office on stressful days with a sign that pokes affectionate fun at common situations. A "WANTED" sign with a co-worker's picture that says "for hardly working" is a silly gift to give a colleague. Signs that parody tips for stress management or productivity offer a humor anyone who works in an office can appreciate. For instance, "BANG HEAD HERE" with a picture of a brick wall expresses a sentiment that colleagues who work in the complaint or customer service department may snicker at. Humorous gifts include a novelty version of the first aid kit, a workday recovery kit, or "Humble Opinion" journal for venting and laughing at other people's rants may be a good addition to an office with a sense of humor.


Parking


Official parking signs imply a formality that many people can't resist making fun of. Parents of teenagers who drive may chuckle at a "NO PARKING EXCEPT FOR MOM & DAD" sign strategically placed at the best parking spot in the driveway. A "GET YOUR OWN WIRELESS NETWORK" parking sign is an appropriate gift for a neighbor.
