Give a gag gift and share some laughs. I don't know if it still exists, but I remember when I was younger going to a great store called Spencer Gifts - does anyone remember this store? The entire store was filled with funny gag gifts - it was so much fun to go into and look around. Perhaps they still exist, but I haven't seen one for many years.

I love to give funny gifts to people - of course, I always take into account the occasion and the person who's receiving it. Forget about those silly Hallmark gifts or the frou-frou candles - don't we all have enough candles already! Fred and Friends is one of my favorite brands to go to when I'm looking for a gag gift or funny gift for someone who I know appreciates a good laugh. If you're going to give something useless, why not make it something funny!  Fred and Friends has stuff that works, puts a smile on your face, and doesn't cost a fortune.

Hundreds of funny gift ideas can be found on Amazon by Fred and Friends - from items such as the above "Holy Toast Stamper" to the "Voodoo" Toothpick Holder to the "Evidence Knife" and the how-can-I-not-mention-"The Ex Knife Set" (above). There's something for everyone. Here are a few of my favorites.
