Fun Gag Gift Ideas

fun gag gift ideas

My seven year old woke up this morning and the first thing she did was pull out some of her prank toys (her favorite is the old nail through the finger trick). When I looked confused, she returned my expression with a look that said you’ve got to be kidding me, woman! “Mom! It’s April Fool’s Day!” she said, exasperated. “I have to trick my friends.”

I never really got into the whole April Fool’s Day thing, but this kid has always loved the idea of it. That said, I do love a good gag gift. And gag gifts work all year round. Not just on one day that I always manage to forget.

So I hunted around for some silly gifts to keep in my arsenal of ideas for upcoming birthdays and other special occasions. Take a peek.

Wanted: Resting Bitch Face Coach

bitchy resting face

Have you heard of the phenomenon known as Resting Bitch Face? If you haven’t, I’m positive you have experienced it. I’m pretty sure everyone knows a person whose default face is a sour puss.

Need some help envisioning sufferers of Resting Bitch Face? I’ve got you.

Anna Paquin, Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Obama, Kristen Stewart. All sufferers. These are ladies who, when neutral, seem to be throwing some serious bitchface. And lest you think it’s always women, there are guys who suffer from it as well. Kanye West and Robert Downey, Jr. are two that immediately come to mind.

Some sufferers of this syndrome may be actual bitches. Others, are just unfortunate enough to have faces that sink into a near scowl when they’re at rest. Michelle Obama, for example, can look like the warmest, nicest woman when she smiles, but when her face is at rest, chaos ensues.

This video (which is not safe for kids, unless you want your toddler calling everyone a bitch) sheds a little light on the issue:

about the momma

Hi! I'm Jen, a freelance writer and girl mom who loves reading the newest children’s books as much as I love a good psychological thriller. I believe fiercely in the power of kindness, empathy, and really good quality chocolate. When I'm not knee-deep in glittery crafts and girl talk, you can probably find me sprawled out on my couch in the middle of a Netflix marathon with dark chocolate smeared on my face. The struggle is real. Learn more about me here.
