10 Best Gag Gifts in 2021 (BigMouth Inc, Happy Man, and More)

Pros:

• Realistic pickle size and color
• Authentic yodels that can even calm newborns
• Batteries included

Cons:

• Some reviewers said the batteries arrived without juice

This is a plastic pickle that yodels at the push of a button (because there was clearly a gap in the market for such a product). We can't think of anyone who wouldn't appreciate this gift, except maybe dogs with sensitive hearing.

It comes with batteries, but some reviewers say they arrived depleted, so have some LR44 button batteries on hand. It has an overwhelming number of positive reviews, some of which are as funny as the pickle itself.

Pros:

• Self-inking stamp with double-sided, re-inkable pad
• Clear acrylic guide helps line up the stamp
• Red ink really gets the point across

Cons:

• Make sure their job involves paperwork they can use it on

This stamp is built for functionality, with a double-sided pad that extends its life. Once it finally does run out, the pad can be replaced or re-inked, meaning a lifetime of use for your recipient.

Most reviewers gave it to a coworker or boss, and report that it made everyone at work laugh. They say it's funny each time they see this message stamped on some report or memo.

Pros:

• Makes seven different fart sounds
• Writes in black ink
• Batteries included; replace with three LR44 button batteries

Cons:

• The top can pop off easily if dropped

This pen is a good gift for those who like fart jokes or those who send lots of text messages using emojis! It makes clearly audible noises, so the person writing with it won't be the only one who gets a laugh.

One reviewer suggested it would be better if it wrote in brown ink, and it's not clear if the cartridge is replaceable, but the batteries are. There were a few complaints about defective items, but it seems like the seller provides very attentive customer service.

Pros:

• Double-sided blanket for added realism
• Soft flannel fabric for colder weather
• Choice of 71 or 80 inches in diameter
• Machine washable on gentle cycle

Cons:

• Reviewers say it's thin and can pill or shed lint

Step one: spread blanket out. Step two: lie on blanket and roll over. That's it! You are now a burrito! Your gift recipient will appreciate the humor and practicality, as this blanket is soft and cozy, and easy to care for.

The burrito blanket comes in multiple sizes and designs, but not all the designs are double-sided. Reviewers love how soft the blanket is and how the printing is high quality.

Pros:

• Looks like a totally normal candle, so even the most cautious giftee will have no suspicions
• Choose two scents: one they'll love, and one that will make them gag
• Can be sent anonymously

Cons:

• The joke takes some time to play out

This seemingly innocent candle is fully customizable. You pick two scents. When your target lights the candle, they'll be greeted with a pleasant aroma like lavender, patchouli or watermelon. Then, as the candle burns down, it will switch to your second choice; such as baby diaper, motor oil, or gym socks!

Reviewers love how clever this gag is, and say their recipient never suspected anything. The most popular nasty scents seem to be canned tuna and farts.

Pros:

• Set of three practical tools: beer bottle opener, corkscrew and wine bottle stopper
• Suggestive without being NSFW
• Great icebreaker at dinner parties

Cons:

• Some reviewers found theirs didn't hold up to actual usage
• Not good for those who don't drink alcohol

This set provides functional and fun tools for drinking wine and beer. It has a corkscrew, a bottle opener for beer or soda, and a stopper, all of which stand at attention and are ready to put to use. They're sure to be a great conversation starter at parties!

Some reviewers found the bottle stopper didn't have the girth to get the job done, but most were satisfied with the little men's performance. They're especially popular for white elephant gifts.

• Educational for kids and interesting for adults
• Helps kids who aren't confident readers feel like their struggles are justified
• Glossary in back for parents
• Available in hardcover, paperback or Kindle version

Cons:

• Not everyone thought it was amusing

Listed as a best seller in the New York Times, P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever is a great gift for developing readers, well-established bookworms, or teachers. It includes a collection of words that start with certain letters of the alphabet but don't always make phonetic sense. 

Some said they thought the word choices could have been improved in one way or another, but many thought it was hilarious. Preschool kids seem to like it a lot, and many teachers use it to illustrate how crazy English spelling can be.

Pros:

• 10-ounce ceramic mug
• Perfect for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, ice cream, jellybeans, and more

Cons:

• Not dishwasher- or microwave-safe

A toilet mug is funny enough, but this is an ostentatious, golden one! It can hold hot or cold beverages, but if you really want to gross someone out, fill it with chocolate pudding. It makes a great gift for a coworker who likes to put out candy on their desk, too.

Buyers love how the size is perfect for their morning cup of coffee. A few say it can chip easily, but they love how hefty it is and say it makes a great white elephant gift.

Pros:

• Definite conversation starter
• Comes with an acrylic dome cover and in an organza bag for gifting
• Unlikely to offend anyone; it's even vegan

Cons:

• It ships from overseas, so plan ahead

This happy little nugget is handmade from polymer clay and acrylic and is affixed to its base. It's sure to bring a smile right away, and the recipient can display it on their desk, car dashboard, or anywhere they need a good laugh.

It comes with a dome cover for protection from dust. Reviewers use the description "cute" again and again! They said it's detailed and well-made and makes a great stocking stuffer or gift.

Pros:

• Chia Pets are offered in a vast array of cultural icons, so choose the right one for your recipient
• Kit includes planter, drip tray and enough seed packets for three plantings

Cons:

• It comes with instructions, but your recipient needs to be capable of basic plant care
  

A Chia Pet is a classic gift that never gets old, since they come in so many forms. Richard Simmons not your giftee's thing? How about Baby Yoda, Spongebob, The Golden Girls, or political figures?

There is a bit of technique required for successful growing, and reviewers say the first time might not work, but to stick with it. The set comes with three seed packets, and your recipient can buy more to keep the fun going forever.
