Funny Birthday Gag Gifts to
Make them Burst out Laughing

Birthdays are a blast, but what really kicks them up a notch is when you throw in a little humor. And let's face it, in our digital age, not all of us can be there in person to celebrate. But that doesn’t mean we can’t bring the laughs! Funny birthday gag gifts with an at-home or virtual or online are the perfect solution. Whether you’re planning a virtual party, sending a hilarious surprise across the miles, or just want to make your friend snort-laugh on their special day, we’ve got you covered. Buckle up, because this guide is packed with side-splitting ideas that are anything but ordinary.

Unique Virtual Gag Gifts

Why go for the same old same old when you can send something completely unexpected? Virtual gag gifts are all the rage, and they come with the bonus of being instantly deliverable—no shipping delays here! Take JibJab, for instance. This platform lets you insert your friend’s face into ridiculous animations, turning them into a dancing potato, a singing cat, or a boogieing banana. If that doesn’t make them laugh, nothing will!

But if you're aiming for something a bit more interactive, consider gifting a Virtual Escape Room. It’s like being locked in a room with your friends, only no one can hear you scream. Kidding! These online challenges are as funny as they are challenging, and they’ll definitely make for an unforgettable birthday experience.

DIY Virtual Gag Gifts

Nothing says “I care” quite like a handmade gift—even if it’s digital. DIY virtual gag gifts are a fantastic way to show your creativity and tickle someone’s funny bone. How about crafting a fake newspaper headline starring the birthday person as the world’s “Oldest Living Millennial” using the Newspaper Clipping Generator? Or, if you’re a PowerPoint wizard, why not put together a humorous “This is Your Life” presentation filled with inside jokes and cringe-worthy throwback photos? Screen-share it during a virtual party, and watch the birthday person squirm in their seat—priceless!

Last-Minute Online Gag Gifts

Oh no, you forgot it’s their birthday, and the clock’s ticking! Don’t panic—there are plenty of last-minute gag gifts that can save the day. How about sending a cheeky digital gift card from Giftogram.com with a note that says, “Buy yourself something nice—because clearly, I forgot!”? Or, for the ultimate quick laugh, grab a personalized shout-out from a celebrity or influencer on Cameo.com. Imagine your friend’s surprise when their favorite reality TV star roasts them for turning another year older!

Personalized Virtual Gag Gifts

Take it up a notch by adding a personal touch to your gag gift. A little customization goes a long way in making the birthday person feel special (and maybe a little embarrassed). For instance, you can turn their photo into a ridiculous cartoon with Cartoonify.de—maybe give them giant ears or make them look like a superhero with a dad bod. Or, if you’re in the mood to play host, create a personalized trivia game using Kahoot.com, where every question is about the birthday person. “What did _______ do at the office party last year that no one will ever forget?” Get ready for some hilarious (and maybe a little incriminating) fun!

Group Gag Gifts for Virtual Parties

Virtual parties are the new norm, so why not make them as fun as possible? Group gag gifts are a great way to get everyone involved. How about organizing a virtual roast on Zoom.us? You can even spice it up by using virtual backgrounds featuring the most embarrassing photos of the guest of honor—bonus points if you manage to sneak in some from their awkward teenage years. If you’re looking for something everyone can chip in for, consider gifting a MasterClass.com subscription for comedy writing or improv lessons. It’s educational, sure—but mainly it’s an excuse to make fun of each other’s terrible attempts at stand-up!

Virtual Pranks and Games

Nothing says “Happy Birthday” quite like a good-natured prank. If you’re up for a little mischief, consider setting up a virtual scavenger hunt with Scavify.com. Create a list of hilarious and bizarre tasks that the birthday person has to complete around their house—like finding their most ridiculous outfit or re-enacting their favorite TikTok dance. Or, keep it simple and send a series of mysterious texts or emails that lead them on a wild goose chase, ending with a ridiculous punchline at the virtual party. Remember, it’s all in good fun… mostly.

Eco-Friendly Virtual Gag Gifts

For the environmentally conscious jokester, there are plenty of ways to be funny without leaving a carbon footprint. Digital gifts are naturally eco-friendly, but you can take it a step further by choosing something that gives back. For example, you could send a digital gift card through EcoCart.io—which offsets the carbon emissions from whatever they buy—or make a donation in their name to a wildlife charity with a funny e-card that says, “Congratulations, you’re now the proud parent of a sloth!” It’s the gift that keeps on giving—and giggling.

Humor for All Ages

If your gag gift is going to be shared with a mixed-age group, you’ll want to keep it family-friendly. Enter JackboxGames.com, which offers a selection of digital party games that are both hilarious and appropriate for all ages. Games like “Fibbage” and “Quiplash” let everyone join in on the fun, with plenty of opportunities for creative (and clean) humor. Or, create a goofy, personalized video message on Animoto.com that’s full of silly jokes, funny photos, and even a few “dad jokes” for good measure. The whole family will be rolling with laughter!

Interactive and Engaging Gifts

Sometimes, the best gag gifts are the ones that get everyone involved. For an engaging experience, consider gifting a virtual murder mystery game from HuntAKiller.com. The birthday person and their friends will be tasked with solving a fictional crime—just be prepared for some hilarious theories and dramatic accusations along the way. Or, if they’re a fan of stand-up comedy, why not treat them to a live virtual comedy show from ComedyCures.org? It’s interactive, tailored to their sense of humor, and guaranteed to leave them in stitches.

Personalizing Your Virtual Gag Gifts

A little personalization can take your gag gift from funny to absolutely unforgettable. Here’s how to add that special touch to your virtual gift.

Custom Memes and GIFs

Memes and GIFs are the language of the internet, and there’s no better way to make your birthday greeting stand out. Create a custom meme or GIF featuring the birthday person using tools like Giphy.com or Imgflip.com/memegenerator. For example, take a photo of your friend making a goofy face and turn it into a meme that says, “When you realize you’re another year older… and still awesome!” It’s a surefire way to get a chuckle.

Budget-Friendly Gag Gifts: Getting the Most Laughs for Your Money

Who says you need to spend a fortune to be funny? Here are some budget-friendly gag gift ideas that deliver maximum laughs without breaking the bank.

Printable Coloring Books with a Twist

For a creative and budget-friendly gift, consider sending a printable digital coloring book with a humorous theme. Check out the quirky swear word coloring books from SwearyColoringBooks.com, which are perfect for some stress-relieving fun. Just imagine the birthday person unwinding with a coloring session that’s anything but G-rated!
