10. Stop your “poo-crastinating” habits with this dad-themed toilet timer that will make sure no one conquers the “oval office” for too long. They've also got other timer designs that are equally as hilarious.

Review: “This timer is hilarious and it has a little speech bubble from the door like the kids say! The bottom is flat so it can sit and the sand drain but to start over it has to be held. To use it, you would have to wait five minutes holding it upside down for the sand to be out of the commode, then flip it again for the five minutes of time. It will be cute sitting on the shelf more than anything but the laughs for gift giving are so worth it!” – Dannielle Price

11. Getting a boyfriend has never been easier with this Grow A Boyfriend novelty gift. Just pop him in the water and he'll reach “full size” in 72 hours!

13. This Spaghetti Monster colander is perfect for all your pasta-making needs, and adds a little laughter to your cooking session. It even doubles as a helmet, if you're creative enough.

14. Get crafty with this Wreck-It Journal that allows you to let your creative juices flow. It's also really therapeutic, which can come in handy especially when you need some calming headspace.

15. Love tacos and dinosaurs? Spice up your Taco Tuesday's with these prehistoric animal taco holders. You can even use them to hold waffles, toast, and PB&J sandwiches!

Review: “Did I think our household needed a triceratops taco holder? Nope. Was I wrong? Yes. So very, very wrong. Pros: Adds a bit of whimsy to taco night; is not life-sized and therefore fits inside your average house. Cons: Only holds two delicious tacos.” – Sarah Ferguson

19. This rechargeable silicone cat LED lamp is purr-fect for your home or office work space. The cool thing about this is that it has 7 color-changing modes, and is touch-sensitive.

Review: “This kitty is so cute and colorful. I keep her on all day at work and get a lot of compliments. It's really beautiful how the colors fade and change. The only drawback is the plug to charge kitty is on the bottom toward the back, so if you want it upright while charging, you'll have to perch kitty on something with her backend hanging off (I usually have her on a little box).” – Gillwill

20. Brew your favourite cup of tea with this adorable baby Loch Ness monster-themed tea infuser set! It's dishwasher-safe and BPA-free, suitable for the whole family to use.

It’s just that this is so funny and cute that she laughed when she saw it…and she just loved it. The packaging definitely adds to the presentation because it comes as it’s seen…with the neck and head coming out of the mug. Hilarious. Definitely gift-able.” – Kelly C

21. Ain't nobody “goat” time for fun and games… or do they? This screaming goat figurine will definitely leave you in stitches if your day is feeling a little “meh”, if you know what we mean.

Review: “I spend about 90% of my day silently screaming at the computer because, well, welcome to customer service. Since this little goat arrived, I no longer look like I am practicing for my appearance on Jerry Springer. I just push the little goat. He screams (but not in a disruptive way). I smile. I am no longer annoyed. I survived peak season because of this goat. I owe my sanity to you, screaming goat.” – Gab

22. This Bob Ross bobblehead will bring his zen knowledge to your home because it comes with sound as well! There's also a mini easel that is included with the doll, featuring 30 of his landscape works.
