Gag Gift Q+A


What is a gag gift?

A gag gift is a present meant to get a laugh by any means possible. Traditionally, that has meant throwaway items like whoopee cushions or fake bugs—but as we’ve shown, the best gag gifts can also be surprisingly practical! As long as it provides a quick laugh or a smile, a gag gift is up to interpretation. Silly candles, funny socks, or cute matchbooks are all good examples of practical (but fun!) gag gifts. 

When would you give someone a gag gift?

Are there any gag gifts they’ll actually want to keep?
