Even the best of gift-shakers wouldn’t guess what’s in these sneaky little packages. Just as fun to give as to get, this list of the top 5 funny gifts proves that a smile is priceless (or at least it won’t run you more than $55 bucks).
1. Tavik Jammy Pack
A gift for moves and rump-shakers. A perfect complement to cut-off shorts and roller skates, the Tavik JammyPack.
2. The Amazing Pickle Wax Remover

Hey there fancy pants. The tuxedo t-shirt has morphed into it’s true party form. Just when they think your gifts couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!
