Unless your name is Scrooge, you love to laugh, to have fun and to make others laugh.  It really is true that laughter is good for your health.  Making someone laugh can help them get through a rough day or add to an already good one.  Gifts do not always have to be serious, so don’t overlook gifts of humor when picking out your special package.
 Just because someone is an avid book reader doesn’t mean they wouldn’t appreciate one that was funny.  Joke books will provide entertainment and enjoyment every time they’re read.  Give your jokester a  book of jokes to help them build their repertoire.  Kids love Garfield books and the like and will spend hours giggling over them.
 Greeting cards can sometimes be a gift all by themselves, especially musical cards and the varieties are endless.  Find out who someone’s favorite comedian and get them that artist’s DVD or CD so they can enjoy it at home, in the car or at work on a break.  Comedy movies can make us feel good even when things aren’t the greatest in our lives. 
 Give the gift of fun.  Take your family out to play miniature golf to celebrate good grades or give your best friend tickets to a local comedy club.  Keep your eye out for comedy plays and buy tickets for the theater-goer you know. 
 Gag gifts will provide them with laughter and you, too.  Most people can laugh at themselves and get a kick out when the gag is on them.  Even the corny old fake pack of gum trick is still funny.  T-shirts and hats come in all varieties of funny slogans that fit just about anyone.  Hunters will love videos showing bloopers from hunting shows or amateur hunters making boo boos in the great outdoors.
 Every holiday is a chance to give someone something that will make them laugh.  Funny nightshirts for Christmas, talking, singing skeletons for Halloween, silly stuffed animals with sappy slogans for Valentine’s Day are just a few of the things that are out there for kicks.  You could even create a funny photo gift for someone by using Photoshop on your computer.  Computer programs like The Fun House can help you create really funny images.  Just add a wacky little bio, put it in a frame and presto!  You’ve gotten them something hysterical and personal, the best of both worlds.
 Still stumped for funny ideas?  Looking back over some of the funny gifts you’ve gotten over the years, let them become inspiration for you own gift giving ideas.  Just because it’s not new to you doesn’t mean it won’t be for someone else.  Novelty items are available all over the Internet and in many local shops in your area.  Dollar stores are excellent places to find funny stuff and don’t cost a lot.
 No matter who you are giving gifts to, they will get loads of fun out of a funny gift.  So, put a smile on their face and humor them.  Literally.
