by Marion Bernstein

If the mere thought of scouring Black Friday sale aisles in search of the perfect holiday gift for every friend and family member gives you heart palpitations, then girl, you're not alone. That's why this year I propose we take a little yuletide edge off, abandon the futile search for the "perfect" gift, and go for one of these funny gift ideas instead. Honestly, there's no better gift than the gift of laughter, and any of these options are sure to keep you and your loved ones laughing all year long.

No matter the type of humor, these funny gifts offer something for everyone. Shopping for your favorite foul-mouthed home cook? Look no further than the hilarious blog-turned-cookbook Thug Kitchen's second installment titled, Thug Kitchen Party Grub: For Social Motherf*ckers. Searching for some toilet humor? Beeline it straight for the "Coffee makes me poop" mug. Does vodka and a good pun give grandma the giggles? Well, then you might want to consider a gift basket of sorts, complete with SKYY Holidayy Sweater vodka, and a personalized copy of Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails With A Literary Twist.
