Funny Christmas gifts for your boyfriend: 12 ideas that make him laugh (and get used)

Gift ideas · Ippos Beard

The best funny Christmas gift for your boyfriend is something that makes him laugh when he unwraps it and that he still uses in January. Our favourite: the Beard Sponge at 9.99 €, the sponge that picks up beard hair from the sink. Here are 12 ideas for every budget.

Giving a funny gift at Christmas is a gamble. Too much of a gadget, and it ends up in a drawer on Boxing Day. Too sensible, and nobody laughs. The right gift does both: it gets a real laugh by the tree and it earns its place afterwards. Here are 12 ideas, from 0 to 80 €. Three come from us, the rest you can find anywhere.

01The Beard Sponge, the gift that settles an argument

This is the gift that makes everyone laugh except him, for about three seconds. Then he tries it. The Beard Sponge is a sponge that picks up beard hair from the sink in one pass. You rinse it and use it again. It costs 9.99 €, with a buy 2 get 1 free offer on the product page. It has passed 7 million views on TikTok and is rated 4.8/5 across more than 1,300 reviews. For the bearded boyfriend who swears he cleaned up.

02The ugly Christmas jumper, as a matching pair

A classic, but it works better for two. Get two matching jumpers, as tacky as you can find, and insist on a photo in front of the tree. Expect to pay 20 to 35 € each. The real gift is the photo you will bring back out every year. For the boyfriend who says he hates them and then wears his until New Year. One tip: go a size up, he will be more comfortable at Christmas dinner.

03A homemade book of vouchers

Ten slips of paper, a ribbon, and you are done. One voucher to pick the film with no debate. One for a lie in with no comments. One to skip the washing up for a night. It costs nothing and it is often the gift he talks about most. Slip in one or two absurd ones, like a voucher to be right once. For small budgets and couples who love to tease each other.

04The clean sink pack, to take the joke all the way

If the sponge makes him laugh, the pack drives the point home. The clean sink pack brings together the Beard Sponge, the beard bib with suction cups and a pouch, for 29.99 €. The bib attaches to the sink and catches the hair while he trims. The sponge picks up what is left. The message is clear, but it is said with a smile. For the boyfriend who trims his beard every week, and for whoever shares his bathroom.

05A homemade advent calendar

This gift is handed over before Christmas, and that is part of the fun. Twenty four small envelopes, each with a little nonsense inside: a sweet, an embarrassing photo, a kind note, a scratch card. The budget is up to you, 15 to 40 € depending on what goes in. You need to start in late November. For the boyfriend who loves surprises and will open three days at once by the 2nd of December.

06Matching Christmas pyjamas

Same idea as the jumper, only more comfortable. Pyjamas covered in reindeer or Christmas trees, one set each, to put on for Christmas Eve. Expect 25 to 40 €. He will grumble when he opens them and wear them all winter, that is how it goes. Pick thick cotton over synthetic fabric, it lasts longer. For the homebody who loves a Sunday on the sofa.

07A beard brush engraved with your private joke

Here the funny part comes from what you have engraved. A nickname, a line he says all the time, a date only the two of you understand. The engraved beard brush costs 39.99 € and each engraving is done by hand in our workshop in France. It is a good looking object he uses every morning, with a wink nobody else gets. For the boyfriend who looks after his beard. You will find more ideas in the personalised accessories collection.

08An album of his worst photos

You almost certainly have a folder on him in your phone. The naps with his mouth open, the silly faces, the haircut that went wrong. Turn it into a small printed album or a wall calendar: one month, one embarrassment. Expect 15 to 30 €. It is funny when he opens it and touching afterwards, because it tells your story. Order in early December to get it in time. For the boyfriend who can laugh at himself.

09A hot sauce gift set

Three or four sauces, from the friendly one to the one he will regret. The game starts at Christmas dinner, when he wants to prove he can take it. Expect 15 to 30 €. It lives in the fridge, it gets finished, and it does not gather dust in a cupboard. For the boyfriend who puts chilli on everything and claims nothing is ever hot. Keep a glass of milk within reach.

10A party game for Christmas Eve

A small card game with awkward questions or dares, one that works for two people or ten. Expect 10 to 25 €. It gets used the same evening, when the conversation slows down between the cheese and the dessert. Choose rules you can explain in a minute, otherwise nobody plays. For the boyfriend who loves hosting, or the one who needs something to do at family dinners.

11The blanket with sleeves or the silly slippers

This is the gift nobody buys for themselves. A giant blanket with sleeves, or slippers shaped like an animal, for 15 to 35 €. He laughs, he makes fun of it, then he lives in it all winter. It is funny and comfortable at once, which is rare. For the boyfriend who is always cold and will never admit it. Just check his shoe size, slippers that are too small get forgotten fast.

12A day out hidden in an envelope

An envelope under the tree, with a date inside. Go karting, an escape room, a cooking class for two, a karaoke night. Expect 30 to 80 € for two. The funny part is in the wrapping: put the envelope in a huge box, or in five boxes tucked one inside the other. For the boyfriend who already has everything and prefers memories to things.
