All right, this has to be said.
The thought of gag birthday gifts immediately gives you the impression of something corny, even possibly gives you a feeling of unease. And probably with good reason. I mean, I am sure we all remember those really corny gags from our childhood that were played upon us by our uncle, grandpa or sibling. The "buzzer" handshake. The "shocking" pack of gum. The itchy powder. The stink bomb. The more you think about them, the more the memories start to return. The memories are sometimes good, and sometimes not - depending who got pranked.
Often after being pranked yourself, you were moved to prank someone else in the same manner. Somehow you then felt vindicated, better about yourself. Let's face it - nobody enjoys getting pranked. But there is another side to gag birthday gifts. Have you ever found yourself at wits end what to give someone for their birthday or other celebration ? Come on, I'm sure you have. Don't you just hate that feeling of never knowing what to give someone for a birthday gift ?
Well, what about the Gag alternative to gift-giving ? Uncle Will has enough socks, Grandpa has too many handkerchiefs. No perfume seems to help Aunt Cybill. Dad has given up smoking, Mom should not be further encouraged to practice her culinary skills with kitchen utensils. Brother Billy needs something for acne, not another shirt, and Sis Wilma will be a blimp is she gets any more gifts trays of chocolate. So, why not turn this uncomfortable time of gift giving into something hilarious? Yes - why not make it actually enjoyable? That is what this article is all about - making a birthday enjoyable with Gag Birthday Gifts!
Now - the thought of giving a Gag Birthday gift might be fine, but have you ever tried finding something suitable? What a mission! I mean, really - this is not a time to prank folk, this a time to give them something that they will find not only humorous but hopefully find some use for! So what now? Where to from here? You want to find a gag birthday gift for your favorite niece but dunno where to start looking!
There is the old traditional way of doing it. You go to your favorite local toy store and look what they have on offer in terms of gag birthday gifts. This might still work if you live in a metro area with a plethora of toy shops. But somehow the old toy shop in the village has started to disappear. The one who had the tottering old shopkeeper behind the glass counter who always took much glee in showing you the gags he had in stock. I remember them clearly. My own grandpa used to take me there - he had the habit of buying one new gag every month, and delighted in showing me his collection. In those days it seemed as if all the toy shop specialized in was gags and gag birthday gifts. I miss that.
The world has taken on a new platform and face. We now have the information highway, and the search engines know all. If you are looking for something, just type in your keywords and search. And watch as sometimes millions of options are returned. Somehow it is not as much fun as the old toy shop. But then again - the selection is so much bigger. You can go to your favourite search engine right now and type in "Gag birthday gifts", hit the search button, and see what comes up. You will find anything from propeller beanies to gag candy. And much much more! In fact, I can practically guarantee you that you will have a tough time deciding on what to buy! Well, I would like to leave you with that thought. Even for a child, an appropriate gag birthday gifts can have them chortling with joy for hours. I know. I have grandchildren!
Gag birthday gifts. Enjoy!
