We have all heard that bad individuals get a lump of coal for Christmas instead of presents. There is the laughing lump of coal too that you can turn on and off. He has plenty of remarks to say. Giving this to someone in their stocking or wrapped up is a very fun gift that will have everyone laughing. There are also reindeer droppings that are really chocolate covered raisins. They will definitely catch someone off guard this holiday season.
Santa Claus is a very common element of Christmas time. There are plenty of singing and dancing ones to choose from. People are used to hearing him say ho, ho, ho. Others sing and dance for the holidays. So imagine their surprise when their Santa Claus you give them is going to say snide remarks and even fart! One has Santa Claus bending over and showing his butt to everyone. Definitely a great Christmas gag gift that people will never forget.
Don’t forget to look for some fun Christmas wrap for your gag gifts too. My favorite is the one of Santa Claus sitting on the chimney with his pants down. The wrap says a crappy holiday gift just for you! Should you be in the spirit of giving Christmas gag gifts, remember that what comes around goes around.
Don’t be surprised if you get a few of them yourself. Of course you do have all year long to think about how you are going to retaliate against those individuals next year. This tradition certainly adds new meaning to the idea that it is better to give than receive for the holidays.
Holiday Gift Ideas

If you’re a do-it-yourself person or possess any special skills, you can make a gift. For example, if you sew you can make the person a quilt. If you are a closet poet or songwriter, write a sonnet or song about the recipient. Sing or read the song or poem and have the original framed.
A custom made coupon book may be a a welcomed X-Mas gift. Put together individual certificates for doing odd jobs, organizing, and clean-up for the recipient. You might offer to organize their photos into albums, do a week’s worth of dishes, or clean their garage. If the recipient is a spouse you could give romantic delights such as foot massages and date nights. A certificate book can be created by printing off blank certificates that can be found online and bound with staples or string.
If you’re shopping for a present for an entire family, and have no idea what they like, a gift basket may be the ideal answer. You can fill a low cost basket with homemade cookies or muffins, small packages of cocoa mix, coffee mugs, and fresh fruit. You might also want to think about garden decoration gifts such as bird houses, bird feeders, or yard sculptures. A youngster might like a gift basket full of treats from the dollar store. Some ideas could be crayons, rubber balls, jump ropes, balloons, multicolored windmills, small stuffed animals, play dough, and candy.
Teenage girls might enjoy a gift basket filled with hair ties, clips, brushes, lip gloss, hair color, and a magazine or two. A new mother may like a gift basket that includes items like soothing bath gels, foot creams, and essential oils. If you can, add a gift coupon to a health spa, beauty store, or a department store. The main thing is that you include thoughtful X-Mas gifts that take into consideration what the person likes.
Kids enjoy receiving treasures, so why not offer them a treasure chest? This Christmas present is simple and you can include things from thrift stores, web stores, and even your own garage. To begin, locate a trunk with a safety cover. This could be a decked out plastic container, cardboard box, or a real chest. Then, choose a theme. If your theme is dress-up, you can load the chest with bracelets, hats, old clothing, play wands and swords, shoes, bows, and flags. Other theme ideas might be pirates, royalty, medieval, sports, astronauts, or extraterrestrial.
As you can see, with a little thinking you can find inspirational Christmas gifts that are quite inexpensive. All it takes is a small amount of digging to find out what the recipient’s interests are, if you don’t already know what they are, and a visit to the local convenience store. Always remember, it’s the thought that counts.
