10 Funny Gift Ideas in 2025 for People Who Hate Boring Presents

If you’re shopping for someone who groans at gift cards, rolls their eyes at bath sets, and has no patience for socks that aren’t absurd, this list is for you.

In 2025, funny gifts are bigger than ever—quirky, weird, sometimes borderline useless, but always memorable.

These aren’t your grandma’s candle holders. These are the gifts that make people laugh so hard they forget to unwrap the rest.

1. Personalized Face Socks

These are a long-standing internet favorite, and in 2025, they’re more customizable than ever. You upload a photo — any photo — and it’s printed repeatedly on a pair of crew socks.

Whether it’s your face, their ex’s face, or the dog they love more than people, the result is always ridiculous. Some companies let you add filters (Santa hats, devil horns, cowboy hats) or backgrounds like flames or hearts. The more chaotic, the better.

This gift works across all age groups and settings. They’re perfect for office parties, white elephant exchanges, or long-distance friendships. It’s the rare combo of funny, personal, and wearable — even if ironically.

2. Burrito Blanket

At first glance, it’s just a soft fleece blanket. But once you wrap yourself in it? You become the burrito. These blankets print a high-resolution tortilla pattern on cozy flannel fabric, and the effect is genuinely hilarious.

Newer versions include options like pizza crusts, waffles, and sushi rice. For group photos or TikToks, it’s unbeatable.

They’re oddly practical too — large enough for adult humans (or groups of friends on movie night) and soft enough to be your actual daily blanket. This is the kind of gift that looks like a joke but ends up being their most-used item.

3. Emergency Clown Nose

One of the simplest yet most effective gag gifts: a bright red clown nose packaged in a plastic case with the label “Break in Case of Emergency.” Whether placed in an office, kitchen, or bathroom drawer, it’s always funny.

The packaging mimics a fire alarm, but instead of stopping danger, it stops awkwardness — or makes it worse, which is sometimes even better.

Great for pranksters, therapists with a sense of humor, or anyone who thrives on uncomfortable laughter. And yes, someone will use it during a serious meeting just to see what happens.

4. Sarcastic Magic 9-Ball

The original Magic 9-Ball was mysterious. This version is snarky. Instead of “It is certain,” you get responses like “LOL, no,” “Ask Google,” or “Try again after coffee.” It still shakes like the old toy, but the answers hit harder in 2025.

It’s ideal for coworkers who pretend to be decision-makers, students facing finals, or anyone who’s tired of pretending life makes sense. Stick it on a desk and use it as your official reply to dumb questions.

5. Absurd Goodies

If you’re looking for truly offbeat or off-the-wall items, there are a few niche online stores in 2025 that specialize in the kind of gifts most people wouldn’t expect — and that’s the entire point.

One example is Witty Yeti, a site that curates unusual products designed more to amuse or confuse than to serve any real function. Items range from “Dehydrated Water” cans that come humorously empty to fake parking tickets you can slip under a friend’s windshield for a convincing (but harmless) prank.

The offerings tend to blur the line between novelty and satire. Some gifts—like “Headlight Fluid” bottles or Computer Antifreeze kits—look real enough to make people do a double-take.

Others, like “Rectal Use Only” prank stickers or Trash Talk Sound Buttons, are built purely for chaotic fun in offices, bachelor parties, or family gift swaps. These kinds of items often appeal to people who enjoy dry humor, dislike traditional gift-giving, or simply want to add something unexpected to a party or exchange.

6. Custom Bobblehead from Worst Selfie

Forget traditional portraits. In 2025, you gift someone their most cursed photo — as a bobblehead. The best part? You get to choose the photo, outfit, and pose.

Did they fall asleep with food on their face? Great. Was their school ID picture a disaster? Even better.

These aren’t mass-produced junk — they’re hand-sculpted, painted, and surprisingly well made. People put them on their desks, mantels, or even car dashboards. It’s like giving them a trophy for being a disaster, and they’ll proudly accept it.

7. Bathroom Guest Book

If you’ve ever wanted to turn your toilet into a comedy venue, this is your moment. The bathroom guest book is a hardcover book filled with prompts and spaces for people to rate, comment, or even draw their experience.

Prompts include things like “What song played in your head while you were here?” and “Would you recommend this bathroom to a friend?”

Over time, it becomes a collection of absolute nonsense. It’s hilarious, kind of gross, and 100% a conversation starter — especially if you leave pens in a cup on the back of the toilet.

8. Desktop Decision Maker

When someone can’t make a decision, help them outsource it — to a swinging metal pendulum. This sleek desktop gadget hovers over a plate of answers like “Yes,” “No,” “Later,” and “Ask Mom.” You just spin it and let fate decide.

It’s shiny, weirdly elegant, and perfect for your indecisive friend who spends 10 minutes picking a lunch spot. It also looks expensive, even though it’s not. Use it during meetings to answer emails with zero accountability.

9. Screaming Goat Figure

This gift does one thing: it screams. Loudly. Press the goat, and it shrieks in pure chaos. It’s based on the viral screaming goat videos, and while it’s small enough to fit in your hand, the noise it makes is not small.

Keep it on your desk for bad Zoom calls. Or place it near your door and let guests figure it out. It comes with a tiny book that explains the screaming goat phenomenon, making it both educational and completely unhinged.

10. “In Case of Zombies” Survival Kit

This is the kit no one needs—but everyone wants to open. It includes fake rations (like zombie-attracting sardines), a plastic machete, and “instructions” that mostly suggest running and hiding.

It’s packaged in a real-looking emergency case and makes a great desk, dorm, or game-room decoration.

It’s funny for horror fans, preppers, or that friend who insists The Walking Dead was a documentary. Bonus: It’s completely harmless and wildly impractical.
