Gag Gift Ideas for 75th Birthdays
- While a gag gift is funny, it doesn't have to be deliberately mean.Over the Hill image by Kathy D from Fotolia.com
Gag gifts for a 75th birthday should only be done if the gift recipient has a sense of humor. The last thing you want to do is insult someone on his birthday. Consider having gag gifts that celebrate how much the person has been through if the birthday girl isn't normally receptive to making fun of herself. - Funny T-shirts make a great gift because the birthday guy can enjoy the gift for a while after the celebration. This long-lasting gift helps your friend to remember the fun times he had that day as well as the thought you put into the gift.
Consider making your friend's 75th birthday an anniversary of when he turned 21. You can have a custom shirt or sweatshirt made that says, "Celebrating the 54th anniversary of my 21st birthday." The shirt is a funny way to look at being 75, which, after all, is just a number.
Another funny saying is "You're looking at the new and improved 75th model! (74th model now discontinued)." This shirt sends the message that you only get finer with age. - Another great gag gift is to get the 75th birthday gal a bottle of wine that was corked the same year of her birth. Add a card saying, "This bottle of wine knows exactly how you feel: check out the year it was made!" The gift will be a great thing to share with friends and family who attend the birthday celebration, and it will give the recipient a taste of the year she was born.
- Different companies are now packaging golf balls in fake "PARscription" bottles. The golf balls can have custom messages printed on them, including the birthday of your friend, along with a quote such as "A little golf can cure anything---even old age." However, be careful when saying something like this. Unless you know the recipient is a joker himself, you may want to stay away from age jokes so as not to offend him.
