Gifting is a dangerous game during the holidays. What if your friend, family member, or S.O. doesn’t like the gift? Or what if they love the present so much that all future gifts will never compare?

But when you know your audience, you really can't go wrong with a funny gift (a.k.a., the gift of laughter). Perhaps the homegrown boyfriend for your friend who hates commitment, or a cat dad hat for the new and obsessed pet owner? Show your special someones that you love 'em enough to tease them with personalized gifts to match their humor.

Take a peak at these hilarious gifts—and try not to bust a gut:

These 41 funny gifts are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face without breaking the bank. No joke, what could be better than that?! So, laugh your way through this holiday season with these hysterical presents, from gag gifts to tongue-in-cheek goodies:

Sur La Table Fur Bottle Coat

The cutest gift to bring to a festive wine party? A festive coat for your bottle. You'll get a guaranteed laugh from the recipient (especially if they've already been imbibing)!

Custom Face Socks

First of all, they’re socks (typically considered the worst gift ever). Secondly, they have your face on them! Or maybe they're patterned with your recipient's pet's face? Either way, these personalized socks will remind your friend of you every time they look at their feet. Added bonus: If you catch them wearing them, you KNOW they really love you.

Make your friend work a little harder for their gift with this personalized puzzle creator.

Sometimes mockery is the best form of comedy!
