Picking the right, unique gift for someone you barely know or know too well, is probably the hardest task ever. And sometimes, after skipping through hundreds of gift ideas, you might just decide to go with some hilarious gag gift and end the struggles before you lose it completely. And if laughter is the best medicine, then the receivers of these Christmas gifts will probably never get sick.
Now, we can all agree that being presented with a well thought out, creative gift is a truly pleasurable experience, but not everyone gets what they expect! That's why Bored Panda decided to take a look at some of the most unexpected and funny gifts that people got this year.
From crazy packaging pranks to hilariously oversized clothes - this funny gift ideas list won't disappoint you. However, our personal favorite is the present consisting of two suitcases that a 24-year-old living with his parents got for Christmas. Ho ho ho!

Christmas Present From My Parents.
My brother left me a really nasty review about me at the restaurant I worked at, I never discussed it with him. It could have gotten me fired, like three weeks before Christmas. My mother still invited him over for Christmas and we had to awkwardly exchange gifts. I printed his review, put in a gift card to the restaurant, then wrapped it up in a really hard to open package covered in zip ties, then wrapped it really fancy. It took him like 20mins to open, he was clearly intrigued and getting excited about what might be inside. Finally he opens it then he got real quiet and didn't say anything when he saw what was in the box, and didn't want to address it with my mother because it would reveal what an ass he was. Best part? The gift card in the box, with $25 written on it, was totally blank and empty, so it was as worthless as his opinions. Best gift I have ever given lol
For Christmas last year I got my dad a doll, a night light, flower stickers, and other stuff for little girls from the dollar store. His reaction to it mad eme laugh so hard I cried 😂
My sister-in-law gifted me with a lollipop that contains a real scorpion.
