Gag Gifts: When to Give What

Gag gifts can usually be found in one of three general categories; children, teenagers, adults, and general gag gifts that are good for all ages. What gag is played should depend on the ages and tastes of the audience and gag target. If there are children present, adult gag gifts may not be suitable. Meanwhile, some gags that might cause embarrassment are not suitable to young, impressionable, children. General gag gifts are usually good for major holidays such as Christmas and birthdays when celebrating in public. If you are having trouble deciding with gag gifts are appropriate keeping only a few things in mind will help your decision process go a lot smoother.

Gifts for Kids

When choosing gifts for children always pick gag gifts that the children would find amusing and funny. These gag gifts should be harmless and not lead to any embarrassing moments or situations. Such gag gifts as Fake Poop made out of Raisinets or Malted Milk Balls, or a Booger Box filled with bits of dried cement glue.

Gifts for Adults

Gag Gifts for adults can range from the cute and funny to the obnoxious or risqué. Some fun gag gifts for adults are “Sponge Cakes” made out of a real sponges and even farting whoopee cushions that leave temporary stains. The more risqué gag gifts usually involve lewd t-shirts, cards, or other gifts that have a great deal of sexual innuendo.
