You never know what type of gift you might receive from a known gag gift giver.
Gag gifts are a lot of fun to give and to receive. Gag gifts can be given at almost any occasion. Be sure that the recipient has a good sense of humor and will not be offended by the nature of the gift. Gag gifts don't have to be expensive. Peruse your local dollar store for ideas of suitable dollar gag gifts.
Inside Jokes Gift
If you share a special inside joke with a certain person, a gag gift will not only show that you remember this special bond, but will get a laugh out of the recipient. If your boyfriend secretly watches and loves cartoons, check out the toy section of your local dollar store for a toy that features his favorite character. If your girlfriend has red hair, a package of red cinnamon gum or candy may be an appropriate gift.
Theme Gift
If you are having a themed party and looking for a gag gift, try to incorporate the theme into your gag gift selection. If you are celebrating an occasion with a Hawaiian luau, then perhaps a dancing hula girl would be an appropriate gift. If you are having a royalty themed event, give tiaras and scepters, which if given to an adult would be considered a gag gift.
Random Gift
Sometimes random gifts can garnish the biggest smiles and giggles. White elephant gift giving opportunities are probably the best places to give random gifts. Random gifts might include a can of sardines or a rubber chicken. The gift doesn't have to make sense or follow a theme. In fact, the randomness of the gift is what makes it fun and interesting.
Personalized Gifts
Knowing the habits of the recipient will benefit you in selecting an appropriate gag gift for him. If he is an avid coffee drinker, check out the dollar store for the ugliest mug you can find. Or if the recipient loves to write notes, find a silly, novelty pen. Just because something is given as a gag gift doesn't mean that the gift can't be useful and won't be appreciated by the recipient.
