Fun gifts for silly parents

Silly family photo
Silly dads, mums, grandads, carers, step parents, teachers – we all know at least one silly family member (if not several!). Find a fun gift for a special occasion that compliments their wacky personality. It's time to celebrate that silly someone who brightens up your day.

Lego mug

Lego mug 
£12.95

Perfect for your loved one's inner-child. LEGO is ageless and this mug is both useful (for hot and cold drinks) and fun to play with (just make sure your adult isn't prone to swallowing small LEGO bits). 

Fart tin

Fart tin 
£7.13

I know what you're thinking – a fart tin? Seriously? Yes. Seriously. Farts happen, and some silly adults have yet to learn a bit of self-restraint and they let loose a little too often for the family's liking (we're looking at you, Mum). That's where the fart tin comes in: a fine for every fart. You'll be rich in no time! 

Kids vs Parents board game

Kids vs Parents board game
£12.99

This is a fun family game with a lot of interesting and silly questions created to see how well you know each other. It's really small, so it's handy as a travel game. You'll have plenty of laughs and plenty of surprises. If you want to create your own (and save some pennies), you can simply write your own questions on cards and see how well your family know each other! 

Shark bite hat

Shark bite hat
£5.38

When you see this gift, you'll instantly visualise it on the head of that silly someone who makes you laugh and roll your eyes at the same time! They'll love this quirky hat and it will be a great conversation piece at every social event (yes, they'll probably wear it to EVERY event). 

Funny t-shirt

Funny t-shirt
£14.99

Aren't pun gifts the punniest? Known as a classic 'dad joke', this t-shirt slogan hits the mark nicely with its play on words. You can browse various versions online but this one made us smile and cringe (just like a good dad joke should). 

Pet Rock

Pet Rock
£4.99

It's a pet rock... what more needs to be said? This is possibly the silliest of gifts and, of course, an easy one to make yourself. But if you're low on time and energy, you can actually buy one online. Madness! 

Fixer of Everything plaque

Fixer of Everything plaque
£7.99

A funny little plaque to go on you loved one's work desk and make it clear, once and for all, that they truly are the 'fixer of everything'. It's also a good joke for someone who is actually known in the family as the 'breaker of everything'. Who's the loveable, clumsy one in your family?  

Glasses holder

Glasses holder
£7.99

A tasteful but fun desk or bedside table gift. Know someone who is always losing their glasses? This could be the solution! You can also purchase one with a moustache.  

Lobster oven gloves

Lobster oven gloves
£11.99

Pinch a pair of lobster claws for those who love a bit of madness in the kitchen. Combine these with the shark bite hat (above) and you've got one weird and wacky chef. 

Personalised Superman cushion

Personalised Superman cushion
£32.99

Some of us love to wear our weird on our sleeve, or perhaps on a cushion, and why not? Create this funny mini-me cushion and you can (quite literally) embrace the weirdness. 

Belly button cleaner

Belly button cleaner
£2.60

What do you get someone who has it all? Well, according to Etsy, a belly button cleaner. Possibly the most random gift on this list, but definitely right for that silly someone. Could actually be quite useful, too...

Face spoons

Face spoons
£9

There are lots of face-on-things gifts, but it's so much fun, so here's another one: face spoons! The images are engraved to a high quality, and you can add your own silly or thoughtful message. One example given is: 'My name is Sammy and I love meatballs.' 

Do what scares your family tea towel

Do what scares your family tea towel
£12

We love this twist on the classic quote 'do one thing everyday that scares you'. This tea towel has a fierce-looking person wrestling a crocodile, so that's one wild suggestion (that we would not recommend, of course). Perhaps the perfect sentiment for those dare devils or pranksters in the family.
