  Dads who enjoy a good chuckle will appreciate a funny holiday gift. Novelty gifts are fun, but you should give him a practical gift with a humorous edge that he can use every day. Keep your dad's interests in mind when selecting his gift. A gift that pokes fun at his hobbies or abilities will be a rib-tickler.
  
  

Personalized Calendars

• Design and make a personalized wall calendar for Dad to hang in his office or study. With publishing software commonly available, you can crop and drop your father's face into humorous clip art. Each month choose a different occupational clip art, like an astronaut for January or a cowboy for September. Put Dad's face in the place of the clip-art image's face. Alternatively, drop a complete image of your father in resting in various tropical getaways. A perpetual desktop calendar loaded with one-liners and jokes will give Dad a daily dose of fun. Choose one with his famous cartoon character.
  
  

Grill Accessories

• Most fathers consider themselves masters of the grill. Encourage your father's love for grilling with grill accessories that are sure to amuse him. Dad can perk up even the most well done steak with a steak brand in the shape of a happy face. Your father will love branding steaks with a brand that says "Road Kill." Humorous aprons that say, "Slap the Cook" or "Tip the Cook" are practical gifts with a lighter side. Fathers who are crazy about Christmas would like an apron and hat that makes him look like Santa.Humorous chef hats with personalized messages like "Caution: Genius at Work" or "Carl's Grill: The Hottest Show in Town" are funny gifts. Oven mitts shaped like bear paws or monster claws will keep his hands safe while he works the grill.
  
  

Humorous T-Shirts

• T-shirts with a humorous slogan or saying on it are comical presents anyone would love. Give Dad a shirt that has a picture of the Grinch or Mr. Scrooge on it. His humorous shirt might say, "Top of the Naughty List" or "I Know I'm Getting Coal." Other humorous musings would be, "Yes, You Are Getting Coal" or "Santa Impersonator." Choose a long-sleeved t-shirt to keep Dad warm while he sports his hilarious gift. Select a shirt with the image of a reindeer head on it and a rifle scope over it. Pick a shirt that has a matching knit cap Dad can wear.
