11 Funny Gag Gifts You Can Buy on Amazon
By Mark Mancini
Buying gifts for a friend or loved one can be stressful, but a funny gag gift can bring a little levity to any occasion. Whether you’re looking for the perfect hilarious birthday present, or just want to give one as a prank, we’ve got gag gift ideas for a range of different types of humor—and they prove there's no present sweeter than the gift of laughter.
1. Thor’s Hammer Bottle Opener
This model of Thor's hammer won’t grant you dominion over thunder and lightning, but it will make short work of bottle caps: It's equipped with an opener at one end and a chain on the other for easy attachment. It comes in silver and bronze, with the famous line, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor," emblazoned on the side. And because it's fairly lightweight, you don’t need the strength of a demigod to wield it.

2. Burrito Blanket
Available in a variety of styles and sizes, the burrito blanket is the perfect gag gift for the foodie in your life. Rolling yourself up inside one of these circular, tortilla-patterned numbers is a riot—and since they’re made with extra-soft flannel, it’s a comfy experience to boot!

3. UFO Plant Holder
Instead of little green men, this UFO-shaped container holds little green houseplants. Hang the tiny mothership from your ceiling with the silver cord—or prop it up at ground level, if you prefer.
