Funny Gifts for Her: Presents That Get a Real Laugh

Funny gifts for her

Funny gifts for her get lazy fast: wine slogans, bath bombs, something about chocolate. Fine, but nobody remembers them.

Better to match her actual sense of humour - dry, rude, daft or dark - and buy one thing that fits it.

Match the humour, not the gender

  • Dry and deadpan - a poster or coaster with an understated line, no exclamation marks.
  • Properly rude - a sweary pin badge or postcard she can leave where visitors will see it.
  • Daft - a prank gift, best given by someone who can take one back.
  • Dark - voodoo doll and gothic humour designs, which sell far better than people admit. Shop this card

For different people

  • Best friend - the rudest thing you can find, in a card that says something kind.
  • Mum - cheeky rather than sweary, unless she started it, which she probably did.
  • Colleague - office-safe joke about the job, not about her.
  • Sister - a running joke you have both had since childhood beats anything shop-bought.

Keep it usable

  • Pin badges go on a coat or bag and get seen every day.
  • Posters and prints only work if the joke stands up on a wall for a year.
  • Coasters and stoppers earn their place because they do a job as well as a gag.
  • Anything that needs batteries or a shelf is a one-week novelty.

How to write it so it lands

  • Buy for her humour, not for a category called 'gifts for her'.
  • Rude is a compliment between friends and a risk everywhere else.
  • If it cannot be worn, hung or used, it is a one-week joke.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good funny gift for her that is not a candle?

A joke pin badge, a rude postcard or a funny print. All three are personal, cheap and get used or displayed, rather than sitting unlit on a shelf.

Is a rude gift a safe idea?

Between close friends, yes - sweary designs are among the most popular things we make. For colleagues, in-laws or anyone you have not heard swear, stick to cheeky rather than explicit.

How much should a funny gift cost?

Most funny gifts sit between £4 and £15 in the UK. Beyond about £20 the humour stops carrying the present and people expect it to be useful as well.
