Funny Birthday Gifts: Sarcastic Ideas for Any Age
Part of funny gifts guide
A birthday card says one sentence and is recycled by Tuesday. A funny birthday gift keeps saying it. This guide covers funny birthday gifts for any age and either gender: sarcastic, dark-humor mugs, tees, hats, hoodies, sweatshirts and long sleeves for the person turning another year older and not enjoying the notice. The picks are grouped by how the birthday person feels about it, and every joke is explained, so the gift is not decoded over cake.
For the person who dreads the number
Age jokes land best when the birthday person is the one who set them up. The main funny birthday gifts shelf has both of these near the top.
"Going through a midlife crisis" hat
"Going through a midlife crisis" posts a status update on a trucker hat, posted ahead of the convertible. The hat is the first purchase, and the cap with the snapback adjusts to fit whichever decision comes next. For the birthday of anyone old enough to say it and not old enough to stop.
"Early life crisis" t-shirt
"Early life crisis" sends the midlife version ahead of schedule, a few decades ahead of schedule, with the bills already attached. For the friend turning twenty-five who is behind on a life plan she never made, in Heather Mint or Black.
For the person who will do it tomorrow
These go to the birthday person whose party was planned the night before by someone else.
"Waiting to procrastinate" t-shirt
"Waiting to procrastinate" has found a way to delay the delay. Procrastination is not even started yet, because it too is on hold. It reads like a to-do list with no items. For the coworker who has been "about to" order a birthday cake since March, in Orange or Navy.
"Take credit, not responsibility" long sleeve
"Take credit, not responsibility" prints the manager's creed on a shirt: the good news is mine, the bad news is somebody else's. It is a job description for anyone who attends every meeting and finishes none. A long sleeve for the birthday of the boss, the team lead or the friend with a title, in Maroon or Storm.
For the person who wants a mug and a laugh
When the budget is small or the guest list is big, the mug carries the joke. Black glossy ceramic, 11 oz, dishwasher safe.
"Seeking validation" mug
"Seeking validation" has two readings, and both are birthday-appropriate. One is the person who needs approval, today especially. The other is a parking stub waiting for a stamp. Choose the reading and the recipient decides if the mug is a compliment or a complaint.
"Remind me to remember" mug
"Remind me to remember" asks for a reminder of the reminder, which is how a calendar becomes a person. The mug goes to the birthday friend who forgot yours last year and will forget tonight's dinner too, and is loved anyway. Black glossy ceramic, 11 oz.
For the person who parties wrong
The hoodie and the sweatshirt below belong to the friend who treats every birthday as a case study.
"Living my worst life" hoodie
"Living my worst life" takes the "live your best life" poster and removes the lighting. It is a progress report, delivered with a straight face and a hood. For the birthday of the friend who has never once been the designated driver, in Maroon or Forest Green.
"Negative influence" sweatshirt
"Negative influence" names the one who proposed the second round. The "negative" works as a test result and a reputation. A fleece-lined sweatshirt for the birthday of someone who is already getting blamed for next weekend, in Carbon Grey or Black.
Birthday gifts by person and age
The same funny birthday gifts split further for the people you are actually buying for. See the funny birthday gifts for men and funny birthday gifts for women guides, the milestone birthday guide for the big round numbers, and the funny birthday gifts for friends and funny birthday gifts for coworkers shelves for the people in between.
Pick the line that sounds like the birthday person on a bad day. They will tell the story of the gift at their own party.

Funny birthday gifts: questions
What is a good funny birthday gift?
A joke the birthday person has already earned, on something they will use. "Going through a midlife crisis" on a hat or "Seeking validation" on a mug does the job, because the joke is about them and arrives with a present.
What is a funny birthday gift for someone who hates birthdays?
A mug or tee that agrees with them. "Early life crisis" and "Living my worst life" turn the dread into a bit, so the birthday person is complaining on your behalf instead of at you.
What funny birthday gift works for a coworker?
The mug, since it needs no size and sits on a desk. "Remind me to remember" and "Take credit, not responsibility" are written for the office, and they keep the joke at the level of the job.
Are funny birthday gifts good for friends?
Yes, and they are the best use of the form. A friend can take a line about the third round and the Sunday recovery that a coworker cannot, so go further with a hoodie or a tee.
How early should I order a funny birthday gift?
Order at least two weeks ahead. Delivery takes 6 to 10 business days after ordering, to US addresses only, and a return request is open for 21 days after delivery if the size is off.
