Brighten Someone’s Day With One of These Funny Gifts for Friends

By Margherita Cole on February 12, 2020

We all love to share a laugh with our friends. So, what better way to commemorate that joyous feeling than by giving a funny gift? Whether it's for a birthday, a gift exchange, or a holiday, My Modern Met Store carries a range of whimsical products that are sure to put a smile on your friend's face.

Like comedy, the key to picking the perfect funny gift is in the element of surprise. To do this, you'll need to find products that think outside the box. The Big Wooden Cat Pile Game, for instance, is not only one of our bestsellers, but also an amusing “reverse Jenga” activity for cat-lovers. Alternatively, if you're browsing for a passionate yogi, San Francisco-based designer Brogamats has made a delightfully unexpected desk accessory. Rainbow Joes: Series 1 Figurines displays a set of 9 colorful figures in classic yoga poses—spreading good vibes wherever they're placed.

Shopping on a budget? No problem. In fact, setting a parameter in your browsing can make things easier and narrow down your choices. For example, accessories, like socks and enamel pins are great small presents that double as crowd-pleasing favorites. The Bob Ross Mug by Unemployed Philosophers Guild is favorited for its temperature changing background. Once the hot beverage of choice has been poured into the cup, a bucolic background will appear behind the beloved TV painter. Or, for those that prefer wearable gifts, Niaski's Vincat van Gogh Enamel Pin combines art history and cats into one chic pin.
