Maybe not appropo in this case, but hubby asked his best friend what he wanted. Friend said, “I don’t know… duct tape. :D”
So… we put two rolls of duct tape in a box and wrapped it in a third. The bride was less than amused.

Here’s a good gag gift that works, especially because they asked for money. Go to the bank and get:
1 crisp new $100 bill
100 crisp new $1 bills.
Place stack of bills with the $100 on top in a plain envelope and hand it to them, while looking shady.
bad taste. But perhaps Monopoly would be a good gag idea… Monopoly money… There are lots of “opoly” games out there, Horse-opoly, Nintendopoly, even Monty Pythonopoly. Find one that suits them.

We got a set of nerf guns. We both loved them.
The perfect gag gift.

That totally reminds me of a gag I used to play in high school!
One time I was at the dentist and they had this whole box of little “individual finger” gloves. Basically, it looked just like a condom, except sized to fit a finger. I asked for and got a small handful of them to take. For the next week, I handed them out to my friends with somber warnings about being prepared and staying safe.
