Best Humorous Gifts for Your Girlfriends!

November 11, 2010 By: Nada Manleycomment

When I was a senior in high school, we each got gag gifts at the annual banquet. Mine was a toy tank, a not-so-subtle reference to my driving. But not all gag gifts are meant to be a jab at the receiver. Some are just funny or quirky or interesting, and demand recipients with the sense of humor to appreciate them. These are fun, inexpensive ways to show a girlfriend that you appreciate her!

“Tiara” Magnet, $5: I am a huge fan of artist Leigh Standley’s witty, thought-provoking work. This is one of my favorites pieces from her.

Polka Dot Shower Cap, $22: Let’s face it – not every girl washes her hair every day. I know mine would look like a tumbleweed if I did! That’s why I love a cute shower cap. So retro, so frilly, and so practical.

Cheeky Coffee Mug, $15: This mug will put a smile on her face every time she sees it: “Things just haven’t been the same since that house fell on my sister.” So funny!

Victoria’s Rejects book, $20: This funny, faux “catalog” is full of hysterical, and sadly unavailable, items, like the “young body decal” and the “knee fat lifter.”
Nobody Gets In To See The Wizard Door Hanger
“Wizard” Door Hanger, $24.95: Is she craving some alone time? This little door hanger gets the point across: “Nobody gets in to see the Wizard. Not Nobody, Not No How!”

Ruby slipper non skid socks by Foot Traffic for women.

Slipper Socks, $9.95: She’ll be comfy and cute in these creative slipper socks, designed to look like ballet slippers, ruby slippers (shown) or running shoes.

“You Look Fabulous” mirror, $19.95: Every girl could use a little reminder now and then, and this adorable mirror will lift her spirits!

Laini’s Ladies “Chocolate” Card with Ornament, $4.50: Laini Taylor is another one of my favorite female artists, and these cards with tiny ornaments make perfect gifts. There’s one for everyone on your list, but this one, with a quote from the Marquise de Sevigne, is universal: “But you have no chocolate? My dear, how will you ever manage?!?!”
Marble Spoon Rest
Marble Spoon Rest, $19.95: The design is classical, the quote, comical. “Many people have eaten my cooking & gone on to lead normal lives.”

Rain Parade Mini Umbrella, $32: Practical and whimsical, these ladies are ready, whatever the weather!

Holly Go Nightly Sleep Mask, $14: Ensure some beauty sleep for the glamour girl on your list with this adorable mask!

…For Women of a Certain Age, $12: This hysterical little book shows pictures of well-dressed men doing the types of things that really get a woman excited: gardening, making dinnner, and they all know exactly the right things to say! : ) Sigh… The only thing I don’t love is the title (I’ve omitted a key word here!) There’s also a version for brides!
