13 Funny Gifts For Your Significant Other

Finding the right gift for your significant other is hard. You know what they like and what they don't, but sometimes the right gift just doesn’t seem to exist. Besides, gifting at any time of the year is difficult, but especially around the holidays a gift can signal your partner how much they mean to you (thank you consumerism, capitalism, and pushy relatives). There’s also the question of budget — are you looking for something cheap or do you have a little more to spend? The safe route in any gift-giving endeavor is to make them laugh. You know what TV shows and movies make them laugh, and you’re bound to have a few inside jokes together, so instead of hemming and hawing over an extravagant gift, going for something funny might be the perfect present.

Honestly, shared laughter is one of the best parts of a relationship — and it's good for it too. In fact, according to a 2015 North Carolina University at Chapel Hill study, couples who laugh more together tend to have higher-quality relationships. So why not weave laughter into your holiday gift-giving?

Find them a gift that will make them laugh and remember just how funny you are(n’t). Make the gift personal by reminding them of an inside joke from when you first started dating, or find a memento from that time you both just could not stop laughing. Or, if you’re at a loss for something they will find funny, go for a gag-gift to accompany something else that’s meaningful. For your significant other with a sense of humor, here are 13 gifts that will make them laugh.

1. A Chia Pet

Are one of you allergic to cats/dogs/mammals in general? Gift your partner a pet that’s low maintenance and won’t set your sinuses on fire. A chia pet is adorable with no clean-up. Also, apparently you can make an herbal tea from the leaves!

2. Truth Serum

Whether your partner is a lover of whiskey or wine, a decanter is a must. This one is embossed in "truth serum" which quite honestly, is too accurate. Smiles all around every time they use this bar cart necessity.

3. Monogram Glitter Ornaments

Get your significant other some ornaments that will spell out something to make you both laugh. Whether it's a favorite artist (ahem, like the Drake collection here) or a favorite word, you'll both die laughing every time someone notices the name or expletive in your tree.
