Last year I gave some family members a fun, funny gift that went over pretty well. If you haven’t heard of Poo Pourri, look it up on YouTube. This gift went over really well on Christmas morning. I’m looking for another funny (useful) gift that I can give family members (all baby boomers). Do you have any recommendations? J. p.s., I’m not related to the Poo Pourri company in any way. Bu in a family that still thinks farting is hilarious, it was a smash hit. ---

One year, a [Chia Head](http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2014/sandbox/news/140127/chia-pets/chia-head-600x450.jpg) was given to someone in the family. From then on, you never knew where CH–the same one–was going to materialize Christmas morning; it was pretty funny after the 15th year in a row. ---

If you want to stay on a consistent theme, how about “Subtle Butt Gas Neutralizers”. They are apparently filters that you put in your underpants, and the name makes me laugh! Or maybe the ladies would prefer one of those trendy new coloring books for adults (like Secret Garden), Are there any toys or games that you all played as kids that they’d get a kick out of playing with again? That could be fun. ---

My brother’s wife’s elderly aunt gave them a porcelain nun doll for xmas one year. It was beautiful but creepy, apparently worth a lot of money. It was maybe two feet tall, dressed in a nun get-up, and _not_ anatomically correct. It has gotten regifted every year since. I was hoping a pattern of misfortune would become obvious for whoever had the doll over the years (confirmation bias), but no such luck. So, yeah. A nun doll. ---

I’m normally not a fan of bathroom humor. In fact, I’m not even sure why I clicked your link. But I’m glad I did. That was hilarious! And the ending to that was so fucking wrong! 😃
