Oh I can give you so many gag gift ideas you can give them for the next ten years. My in laws get hilarious and then my sister in law started the gag gifts as well several years ago. MIL gave bil a slim jim maybe 15 Christmas' ago. She thought he liked them. He hates them and it turned into him getting one every Christmas. When he gets something stupid like that he's so funny making dry comments. Both bil have received multiple gag gifts every Christmas. The other bil has bathroom issues (IDK) but he has to stop a lot on the road. Once at the state fair after several hours I told him he goes more than an old woman. The family is basically conservative but half don't like Trump so I think we have a few secret liberals (I don't address this bc I respect my husband and he wants peace in the family. Also they would think I'm crazy and the stuff isn't true. Been there with his mom over vax. Just not worth it.) Before Trump my bil got a signed Obama pic framed. When his kids were little they knew about Obama etc and might say something in public. I'll list the many gag gifts below. My husband hates bananas his mom said as a baby he'd stick his tongue out trying to get it off. My sil that does the gag gifts hates cats so my husband finally got her back yesterday.

BIL that has bathroom issues and is very loud mouth (more than me😬) gag gift over the years.

. Bedside commode

. Random Tshirts with outlandish sayings. Dang wish I could think of them all. The sayings reflect his loud personality. He runs a business and stresses a lot. He's also a perfectionist and stresses way too much.

. Signed framed pic Obama

. Gift yesterday was to him & mil from fil. She was giggling like crazy! It was a new toilet seat for him to install on her toilet bc old one has a scratch.

. Mugs and shirts

Other bil

. Graphic shirts with crazy sayings. Yesterday he was wearing one from previous years: Gangster Santa. He's far from gangster. Golf, former school teacher, hates country music etc.

. Sweatshirt decorated like a Christmas tree with cold garland fabric and ornament balls. Hood was in the shape of a star. He's so theatrical always tries on everything as he gets it. Sounds gay but he's just has a funny dry humor.

. My husband did gag gifts for him this year in addition to the many he was getting. He bought at least four different types of slim Jim's like big mama, firecracker etc. One was Doritos flavored. I told hubby you gotta get something he likes because five gag gifts is just mean! After investing got him Carmex lip balm and giant Hershey bar. We did secret Santa this year for the first time. Then started passing out random gifts. We don't exchange gifts but if someone wants to buy for one person that's cool. He had about six gag gifts from us and many more. He said I thought I'd be out of here by 3 and secret Santa was it. That caused loud hilarious laughter from everyone else.

. He got a cats Christmas tshirt (another cat hater). I'm sitting here thinking well I love cats where's my shirt.

Usually my other sil (slim jim guys wife) doesn't get that many gag gifts.

. One year my in laws gave her two bottles of zanex. My in laws are RX hoarders. They get all the RX they can from drs and keep them. It's paid off for twenty years everyone getting antibiotics and not going to Dr. SIL over the years will ask for zanex for multiple reasons.

. My mil has gone around the past year telling everyone fil (blank is 81 can you believe it). He got a Tshirt saying my wife can't believe I'm 21.

. FIL worked at sears 30 years and I found a Christmas ornament frame 2004 year on it & the inside paper said sears. I gave to him and said I was regifting it. He liked a lot.

All the men my hubby and bil's got Santa had with built in beards. One year they got old time hats like men wore in the 60s and before. Don't know what they are called stylish with small brim. Usually those three will get the same gag gift.

. Giant 5x underwear has been a gift to several people.

• running joke between bil's who makes the most money. They always get shirts, mugs etc with #1 #2 money maker.

• my husband has received banana kitchen towels which I still use. Banana boat ice cream dish that's a banana. Gave to bil he liked so much. That stuff is normally donated bc we can't use it. Banana Halloween costume. I can't remember everything.

. SIL that does gag gifts got "I love my cats" tshirt and hubby snuck out during lunch and put a "cat lover" license plate cover on her car. That was yesterday, hubby has talked for years about getting her back.

They shop after Christmas clearance items most people don't want and get it for couple bucks. Same with most gifts bought on cheap clearance. Basically anything the person dislikes is used as a gag gift. Sounds stupid we have such a great time laughing and acting a fool.
