You wake up before the sun’s up with a wide grin on your face. You put on your slippers, yawn, and head over to the Christmas tree. There, you find a whole mountain of gifts. You get busy unpacking and you realize that you got everything that you wanted, but there’s one last present left. You rip open the wrapping paper, your jaw drops, and you start laughing so hard, your belly hurts.
Some people see Xmas as the perfect time to have a little bit of fun. So they make their loved ones laugh with hilarious gifts that only Grinches wouldn’t giggle at or by wrapping presents up to look like completely different things. Bored Panda has compiled this list of some of the funniest times that people trolled others with their gifts.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we loved putting it together. Don’t forget to upvote your fave pics and tell us all about the funniest presents you’ve given or received in the comments! Done feasting your eyes on this list? Then you’ll want to have these two posts about the funniest gag gifts for dessert right here and here.
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about the benefits of humor and receiving funny gifts (that we might sometimes be disappointed with), as well as the Spirit of Giving, so we reached out to psychologist, priest, and author, Dr. Fraser Watts. “Humor can be enormously helpful in coping with difficult situations. We often get rather up close, psychologically, to issues that are causing us distress. The value of humor is that it adds distance and perspective,” he said. Read on for our full interview with Dr. Watts.

#32 Our Family Has A 35+ Year Tradition Of Disguising Christmas Gifts. This Took Over 80 Hours To Build
This “cannon” is actually disguising a golf umbrella, hidden in the ramrod. The cannon is made out of cardboard, with a little foam for structural support, plus the candy cane spokes. The cannon has a remotely triggered CO2 canister hooked to a solenoid valve to launch Christmas ornament on command. Link to the construction album.
It’s hard to tell dimensions from the picture, and I don’t have a banana. But it is 90″ from the tip of the barrel to the end of the trail.
Our family has been doing this for over 35+ years. Here’s a few links to years past constructions:
- 2017 Projector screen and reel Here’s a video of it in action
- 2016: Snowblower. constuction album. video of auger and blower
- 2015: Baby Stroller. constuction album
- 2014: French Easel
- 2013: Rocking Chair constuction album
- 2012: Toy Sailboat outfitted with a remote control car chassis on the bottom so that it’s drivable
- 2011: Radio Flyer Sled. construction album
- 2010: Blunderbuss
- 2009: Hedge Trimmers. Bonus: Decoy umbrella, a broom (to replace the one he accidentally ran over with his car that Fall), wrapped like the umbrella gift: http://imgur.com/WZxFzyX
- 2008: Telescope
- 2007: Lawn Spreader
- 2003: Scooter
- 1996: Trombone
Edit: We built a remotely triggered CO2 canister rig inside the barrel to launch a Christmas ornament: Link
Edit2: The umbrella is a promotional gift you get this time of year from Aramis, which my mom buys for my grandfather for his birthday at the end of November.
Edit3: Since there is some confusion due to a lack of info provided on my part, the gift is always an umbrella. Not the same umbrella, a bee one each year. It’s a promotional gift from buying cologne. I understand it may seem idiotic to spend so much time wrapping an umbrella to be a snowblower or a baby stroller, but that’s what it is. It’s why it’s a tradition.
