Christmas-Themed Gag Gifts

• For the man who loves Christmas, a gag gift related to the holiday is a wise idea. With an empty mason jar, a piece of coal, a corn cob pipe and a carrot, you can create a "melted" snowman. Simply place all of the items in the mason jar, fill the jar with water, put the lid on tight and add a label that says, "Melted Frosty." Another option is to tell him that you were kind enough to make him a snowman for Christmas. When you hand him the gift, explain that it was a little warm in the car on the ride over. The gift is sure to bring bouts of laughter and conversation.
  
  You could also provide him with "a lock of Rudolph's hair." After grooming your pet, pull hair out of the brush and wrap with a red ribbon. Stick the hair inside of a ring box and add a note that says, "Rudolph's Hair."
  
  

Giftless Gag Gifts

• If you're working on a budget and simply do not have the funds to purchase a gift, provide the man in your life with a gag gift that doesn't include a gift at all. One example is to provide him with a pack of batteries and a message that says, "Electronic Device Not Included." It's a knock-off of the "Batteries Not Included" message commonly found on toys and electronics.
  
  If you don't have a pack of batteries lying around that you're able to give away, use boxes of various sizes to trick him into thinking he's got a big gift inside. Add a note to the smallest box that says, "Hope you like the boxes!" Place the small box inside of a bigger box and repeat the process until each box is inside one another. Wrap the largest box in wrapping paper and hand it out to your male friend on Christmas. He'll be surprised--and hopefully humored--when he opens it.
  
  

Useful Gag Gifts

• Help him out by providing him with a useful gift, intended to make life a little easier--in a fun way. For example, create a very simple "Auto Repair Kit" by placing a screwdriver, duct tape, rubber bands, scissors and bubblegum (for leaks) inside of a box. Place a business card to an automotive shop inside that says, "If these tools fail..." and wrap the box. Hand it to your nephew or a male friend who received a new car, just learned to drive or is moving out of the parent's house.
  
  If you know a handyman, give him "free furniture." Stick an acorn in a gift bag with a note complete with instructions. The instructions should be similar to, "Place acorn in ground. Cover with dirt. Water. Wait 40 years. Cut down tree. Make your own furniture."
  
  

Edible Gag Gifts

• If you know a man who still finds bathroom humor amusing, provide him with edible "reindeer poop" or "snowman dung." Place chocolate-covered raisins or Hershey kisses in a clean baby food jar for reindeer poop and mini-marshmallows in a jar for snowman poop. Complete the gifts by adding labels.
  
  A very simple edible gift is to purchase a pack of water bottles and cover the label with one printed off of your computer. Call the bottles of water, "Frosty Urine." It's a very inexpensive gift that is sure to get a laugh or two from the receiver.
