Once upon a time, pranks ruled the world of humor. Whoopee cushions, fart sprays, and remote-controlled fart machines were the kings of mischief. But times change, and so do our tastes in comedy. While classic pranks will always have their place, today’s humor leans more toward clever novelty gifts, quirky collectibles, and laugh-out-loud décor.
At Giggle Novelties, we’ve been in the business of making people laugh for years, and we’ve seen firsthand how the landscape of humor has evolved. People are looking for gifts that don’t just make someone laugh once but keep the chuckles coming day after day. So, if you’re looking to bring joy to your friends, family, or coworkers, here’s where the real fun is happening now:
1. Pop Culture and Nostalgia – The New Comedy Kings
Gone are the days when a simple prank could keep someone entertained for hours. These days, humor is about shared experiences—things that remind us of the ridiculousness of pop culture, internet trends, and the good old days. That’s why items like the Bigfoot Action Figure and Emergency Goat are huge hits. They tap into memes and internet culture, giving people an inside joke they can display proudly.

3. Functional But Funny – The Ultimate Combo
In today’s world, people love things that are as useful as they are hilarious. That’s why quirky kitchen gadgets, office supplies, and car magnets are so popular. Think about it—a rubber chicken that doubles as a stress reliever or a hilarious bumper magnet that makes drivers do a double-take. These are the kinds of gag gifts people actually use, not just throw in a drawer.
4. Political and Satirical Humor – A Category That Never Dies
No matter what side of the fence you’re on, we all love a good political gag gift. Whether it’s the Donald Trump Toilet Paper Roll or a cheeky mug that pokes fun at current events, these gifts let people show off their sense of humor in a way that sparks conversation.
5. Themed Gift Bundles – Because One Joke Is Never Enough
One of the best ways to make sure your gift is a hit? Stack the laughs. Pair a screaming goat with a ridiculous book of dad jokes. Combine a Bigfoot action figure with a cryptid-themed coffee mug. Put together a bundle of prank candies that look normal but taste... not so normal.
