The Book Of Useless Information
This book will be highly appreciated by a high school or college graduate who has spent the last few years devouring books to learn "useful information." It has 704 pages of random trivia that can be read in one sitting or kept in the restroom to turn every spare moment into an opportunity to learn something new. And irrelevant.
Small Jar Of F**ks
This jar may be placed anywhere in their home or even in the office, assuming the co-workers don't get offended easily and can get the joke. The receiver of this gift can distribute each f**k until none are left or leave the jar full as a constant reminder that their f**ks are precious.
It's 2023. The jar should be empty because no one has fücks left to give at this point.
Miniature Violin
Although this would be lovely for a violinist, it's also perfect for antagonizing people at work or taking out when a crybaby starts complaining. However, it doesn’t play music, if that’s what you’re looking for.
Now you can actually play the world's smallest violin rather than miming it

With the help of this charming and beautifully designed tarot deck led by the cat—the oldest symbol of power, magic, and wisdom—your buddy may find the answers to the past, present, and future. Not sure whether those will be accurate, though.
This Book Is Literally Just Pictures Of Animals Silently Judging You
You read the title. Consider getting this one for a friend who keeps asking for advice but never follows it or does the polar opposite. They might rethink their decisions when they see a picture of a corgi who isn’t angry—just disappointed.
Off-topic, but you shouldn't pick up dogs like this. You can actually dislocate the shoulders and cause torn ligaments. The joints in a dog's legs are not designed to bear the suspended weight of their entire body.

There are a few practical uses for this one. Either use it to keep your toddlers nearby when shopping in the mall, or, for the best effect, connect one safety harness to a friend who always goes missing on a night out.

Potato Chip Snake In A Can
There’s a treat inside the potato chip canister—not the salty one the potato-chip lover was expecting, but a 4-foot-long, spring-loaded snake! A gag gift that is simultaneously funny, scary, and a dash disappointing. Perfect combo.
Yodeling Pickle

Maybe unpopular opinion, but there's enough trash in landfills and the sea. Buying things (especially those made of plastic) just for a 1 minute grin / laugh is just wasteful.
