A surefire way to lift someone's spirits is to buy them a hilarious present, so we scoured the internet to find the goofiest, most creative prank gifts on the market.
If you're looking for the perfect giggle-inspiring gag gift to lighten the mood around the holidays, we've got you covered. From small gifts like fake-out stickers and misleading jewelry boxes, to more substantial items such as candles, soaps, and pillows, here are 13 gag gifts that are sure to make someone laugh (or cry).
1. AirPod stickers
Artist and digital creative Pablo Rochat pranked San Fransisco residents by leaving life-size AirPod stickers around the city. He shared a template for the stickers on his website, which means you can gift them to someone who'd love to take part in the prank, or is hoping to receive their own pair of real AirPods. (Note: The latter option is rude.)
Price: Free to download or $1.00 on Etsy
2. A sequin Nicolas Cage pillow cover
You can give the gift of Nicolas Cage's face on the pillow of your choosing thanks to a wide variety of sequin pillow covers available online. Choose from a variety of colors and Cage expressions to ensure the pillow case is the perfect style for its recipient.
Price: $9.99 on Amazon
3. Slightly morbid animal candles
If you really want to mess with someone's head (and house) consider buying them one of these unique PyroPet animal candles. They look super cute, but when the candles burn they leave a mess of wax everywhere and reveal a creepy animal skeleton. Nope!
Price: $18.00 to $35.00 on Amazon or 54celsius
4. An exercise hack
Know someone who hates to exercise or constantly complains about physical exertion? Poke some fun at them with an exercise block, one of the simplest ways in the world to work out.
Price: $10.99 on Amazon
5. A boyfriend
If there's someone in your life who's actively looking for love, help them out a little bit by buying them a "Grow a boyfriend." Just add water! Preferably not tears. (Unless the tears are from laughter, of course.)
Price: $3.75 on Amazon
6. Some delicious-looking soap
If you know a food fanatic, there's probably a soap out there inspired by their favorite treats. Look at these chicken nuggets made of soap, for instance. You may not be able to eat the delicious-looking forbidden snacks, but they will help keep you clean. (Note: If you do gift soap that looks like food, be sure to let the recipient know the soap is not for eating. Otherwise that could be bad.)
Price: $6.00 on Etsy
7. Dehydrated water
Is someone in your life obsessed with hydration? Know a camper who's always overly-prepared in the wild? Troll them with this can of dehydrated water. To activate, once again, just add water!
Price: $14.99 on Amazon
8. A moon ring
The moon ring is a gift option for the most insufferable prankster who really wants to piss someone off. When you whip out a jewelry box not many people are expecting a tiny butt to blow a fart at them, but that's what the moon ring does. Odds are the recipient won't be too thrilled, so consider yourself warned.
Price: $19.95 on Etsy
9. A bunch of glitter
Glitter is the gift that never seems to go away, no matter how hard you try to get rid of it. If there's someone whose life you simultaneously want to make more sparkly and hellish, opt for a glitter gift like a spring-loaded glitter bomb or an entire envelope full of the stuff.
Price: $9.99+ on shipyourenemiesglitter.com
10. A personalized potato
Potatoes are delicious, but they can also make funny presents. Potato Parcel lets people send potatoes with messages and even photos printed on them. There are also snack and holiday boxes to go along with your potato delivery if you feel like getting really fancy.
Price: $14.99 to $24.99 on Potatoparcel.com
11. A fake wine spill
This terrifyingly realistic fake wine spill is the perfect present for two very specific types of people. You can buy it for the uptight neat-freak in your life who's terrified of getting stains on their carpet, or for the person who always has a glass of red in hand and is constantly being warned not to spill. Either way, it's a quality prank that can be used over and over again.
Price: $26.00 on Etsy
12. Nothing
What do you buy a person who has everything? Nothing! It comes in a cute little package and everything. Perfect.
Price: $1.96 on Wish.com
13. A normal gift in a prank gift box
If you're in the mood to prank someone but don't want them to stay mad at you, consider buying them a good gift and giving it to them in a prank box. Amazon's Prank-O page has a variety of nonexistent and extremely chaotic product boxes to choose from that are sure to psych out any gift recipient. For reference, the fake-out boxes are large enough to fit four pounds of shrimp. Exciting!
Price: $7.99 on Amazon
Happy pranking, people!
