                Surrounded by friends and family laughing so hard your sides are splitting and tears are streaming down your face; that is possibly the best way to spend any special occasion. So why don't you get the party started next time you need to buy someone birthday presents by having a look for funny gifts? 

There are loads of different types of funny gift out there; racy presents, cute presents, silly but useful things that'll have them chuckling time and time again. The sort of funny gifts suitable for whoever you have in mind really depends on what sort of person they are.

The funniest gifts fit your personality and have you laughing and sniggering for weeks. Young women and kids will love practical humour such as flying pigs that you can stretch and twang across the room like cuddly catapults, or exciting gadgets and useful items like notebooks. We really like the remote controlled tarantula because it can bring shrieking laughter to a party and shrieking terror to one too! Imagine chasing your arachnophobic friend around the house with a giant scuttling spider.

If you want to make a person blush while they unwrap their present you could wrap it in racy gift wrap. On one side of the wrapping paper is an ordinary pattern but on the underside (which is revealed as someone unwraps a gift) you can get paper with either hunky men or saucy women! That's great for hen nights and feisty, raunchy birthday girls. 

You don't have to spend tons of money to get your friends or loved ones funny gifts, sometimes simple small things work really well. The best funny gifts usually are not that expensive either, so it's easy to get your friends a silly present that will make them laugh to open first and something more serious to open later. Giving presents is all about the thought and so sometimes, thinking about what will make someone laugh takes more thought and results in a better appreciated gift than ordinary presents.

Lots of us work in offices these days and you can get your office friends awesome, funny birthday presents. Some really cool office oriented gifts are little gadgets which plug right in to the USB socket on a computer. The Desktop Henry Vacuum is one of those. Just like a classic, full size Henry vacuum, the mini USB version will suck up crumbs and dust. Once he is plugged in to the computer you can use him to clean a keyboard and get rid of all that lunch-on-the-go debris that collects at a workstation and have fun while you do it. The tiny size of the Henry is really funny and cute too. 

If you want to brighten up an office desk then a USB glitter rocket plugs in to the USB slot on a computer too and then it lights up like a mini glitter lamp, it's so cute and perfect for anyone who likes glitter lamps or retro stuff.

Funny gifts for the kitchen are easy and are ideal for mothers and grandmothers who like to cook or play with food. Every golf fan dad needs a golf ball ice cube tray to make perfect little golf ball ice cubes for his favourite drinks and there are load of other novelty food prep items that will get a recipient giggling in the kitchen.

We love Pass the Salt, which is a salt shaker you can pull back on the table only for it to speed off towards the person who wants it, due to a roller motor on the base. It's hard to think of a nicer way to eat breakfast than to accompany it with some mood toast too. 

Special plastic imprints of phrases like good morning can make toast an exciting treat. You press them in to the bread and then toast it and ta daaa! Happy greetings on your slices.

 In jokes are one of the best ways to make funny gifts go with a bang. By in-jokes we mean those things that you and your friends laugh about but other people might not really understand. Sometimes in-jokes are pet names or references to silly experiences. If your dad is driving you everywhere all the time, you could get him a Dad's Cab meter to start paying some money towards petrol, since he's practically your personal cabbie. That would be a cool in-joke!

When it comes to birthdays and celebrations, if you start the day (or night) with laughter and big smiles, it'll lift the atmosphere and set the tone. So, get those funny gifts wrapped up an then have the recipient open them first thing! Then when everyone's had a good laugh they can keep on laughing all night.
