White Elephant Gifts, Gag Gifts, and Funny Gift Ideas Because Laughing is the BEST
Sometimes a sentimental gift just won’t do.
These cheeky, unique, and totally outlandish finds will have all your friends and family rolling on the floor laughing! With something hand-picked for everyone in mind, we think you’ll love these hilariously funny White Elephant gifts and enjoy gifting them even more.
1. Prank gift boxes
Prank Gift Boxes are a hilarious way to gift presents to your friends and family. These boxes appear to contain absolutely ridiculous products from clueless companies, except you’ll get to fill them with something they’ll actually want.
Finally, giftees can take cream with their conditioner with this Bathe & Brew prank box, say goodbye to costly toilet paper with the Roto Wipe box, or DIY a candle that’s as unique as they are with this Earwax Candle Kit. 😬 Wrapping any gift inside a Prank Pack adds an extra layer of fun and enjoyment that’ll have everyone in the room laughing!
Walmart also sells a variety of Prank gift boxes for just $3.97!
2. Hilarious games
There’s nothing that brings a crowded room together quite like a funny board game. These fun games are perfect icebreaking gifts to warm up anyone’s night. In You’ve Got Crabs, the family splits into teams, creates sea-cret signals, matches up drawing cards, and tries to communicate the secret signal to the other team before the opponents steal all their crabs. Even your friend’s kids can join in on this team building game, and your friends will love it and all its sea-crecy.
Hip Tip: If you find this game crab-tivating, make sure to scoop up this You’ve Got Crabs: Imitation Crab Expansion Kit to gift your friends all the crabs!
By now, most people have heard of the hit TV show “The Office,” and probably more famously the banter of the lead character, Michael Scott. If you know an Office fan, you’ve got to get them the board game that takes his coined phrase “that’s what she said” and turns it into a game of twisted innuendos. While That’s What She Said is not as raunchy as other adult games on the market, this card matching game is suggested for ages 18 and older.
Looking for a game to gift that absolutely everyone can enjoy? Your friends will be cracking up at the absurdity of Watch Ya Mouth! Using mouth expanders similar to what you would see at an orthodontist’s office, players shout out different phrases on their cards in hopes that their team will somehow understand the message they’re trying to get across. Oh, and they look ridiculous doing so! We’re pretty confident they’ll want to start playing this game right on the spot.
3. Cheeky books
Books are always a wonderful gift idea, but why not gift one with some humor and funny pictures to really spice things up? Porn for Women is a hilarious book packed with photos of men showcasing the real love languages women desire while challenging us to reevaluate what is truly sexy. I love it when you talk clean to me. We think any woman would get a good laugh out of this book and find the sexy chores (that you didn’t even have to ask him to do) even more desirable. 😉
“I got this for my wife as somewhat of a gag, but it actually turned out to be constructive as well. It got me thinking about the kind of things that she is looking for in a partner and how I can better fulfill those (less salacious) needs. It provoked healthy relationship conversation.” – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steve
Let’s take this party to the bathroom! What’s Your Poo Telling You will be the perfect hilarious addition to anyone’s bathroom reading basket.

“Hilarious, hilarious book! I gifted this to both my mother and mother-in-law for Christmas and they both loved it!

Personally I love the nachosaurus version of the tacosaurus.
I also have started giving a chicken, fish, pigs, etc for white elephant along with something else small. It’s a funny thing to read a pig has been donated in your name but at the same time is helping people in huge ways. There are several companies that do this but I’ll list my favorite because I know and trust the people doing the projects and know that 100% of the gift goes overseas and not for overhead.

That taco swaddle is the cutest everrrr. Iβve never seen that before
I thought so too until I saw itβs $48 lol
This Vampires Coloring Book (Dover Coloring Books) for $4 was one of the more successful gift exchange gifts I’ve bought!
I LOVE these posts. haha.
My FAVORITE gift like these still are the “Face Coasters”. If you search that on Amazon they are HILARIOUS. All my kids even put them on and we can’t stop laughing.
They have these at Dollar Tree as well!
Last year in our family gift exchanges, I gave away a squatty potty with the farting animal coloring book. They were a hit! Thanks H2S!!!
LOL! How fun! You’re very welcome, Lauren! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!
We do a white elephant every Christmas Eve with family, even the kids come up with a gift and wrap it up. This year some lucky person is getting a FUGGLER from yours truly lol. Best Buy had/has them on sale for $7.99 and they are so ugly theyβre cute. The price is good too lol
Never heard of Fugglers before. Had to google it. Those are the most disturbing looking dolls! The teeth!!! Had to order one. My 21 year old daughter will be gaining a new friend on Christmas! ππ€£π
LOL! The teeth got several of us too!
Does anyone know where we could find the best political gag gifts?
I think they make Trump and Hilary chia pets on Amazon!
amazon has politician toilet paper!
LOLed at the Porn for Women book.
I want the root -wipe one for my son who thinks potty humor is hilarious, but I don’t want to spend $8 for an empty box! I would totally get it for a couple bucks though.
The instant underpants πππ
I found the prank gift boxes at Kohl’s on clearance last year for a little over a dollar each; I got one of each one that had left including the earwax candle one. I am using that for our exchange game and adding in an ugly Christmas sweater I got for $6.00. (I’ll add a little gift card or something too though.)
I wrapped a shirt for my BIL in a prank gift box with a “face warmer” on it. I told my husband that I had gotten the face warmer though. He looks at the box and says, “can anyone even see through that?” haha he thought it was real; I am still laughing.
I ordered myself the Bob Ross Chia. I always wanted a Chia pet when they were new and now that I can have my Bob itβs my personal Christmas gift.
I just ordered the Fishing for Floaters game (comes with plastic ‘poops’ and fishing rod) for my young nephews. It would be hilarious to give to a life guard or as a White Elephant too.
Our theme is 8.. any ideas? π
Cow Tails candy sticks- to go with 8 Maids-a-Milking from the 12 Days of Christmas.
There are LOTS of funny mugs out there. Maybe one of those with 8 cinnamon sticks or 8 tea bags in it? (I just gave the “Moist” mug (Freds Say Anything Mugs) at a white elephant party, and it was a HUGE hit.
I gave my 21-year-old daughter the farting animals coloring book last year. She planned to tear out a page anytime she was sending a friend a gift or card, and enclose it for them to color.
Freds Say Anything Mugs or BlueQ socks! Hilarious!
Has anyone been able to sing the prank boxes at their Walmart? Wish we could order those online! They are so much cheaper than amazons
Thanks – just got the Farting Animals coloring book for a White Elephant exchange at work. Max price was $10 so I’ll throw in some crayons. Knowing my coworkers, they will think it’s hilarious!
