Hilarious Christmas Gag Gifts for Family and Co-Workers in 2009

The best gift you can give this holiday season is the gift of laughter. This list of the top 5 gag gift ideas this year includes a Bob Dylan's Christmas album, Sarah Palin's book, underwear for your hands, this year's version of the Snuggie, and a shirt that will have your victim howling with laughter.

Bob Dylan's Christmas Album, "Christmas in the Heart"
When you think of Christmas, you think of Santa Claus and candy canes and... Mr. Tambourine Man? Bob Dylan's out-of-left-field Christmas album entitled "Christmas in the Heart" does have good tidings behind it; proceeds of the sales will go to the charity organization Feeding America. However, hearing Bob Dylan rasp and mumble his way through Christmas standards like "Winter Wonderland" and "Must Be Santa" should results in some belly laughs this holiday season. The carols, my friend, will be blowing in the wind.

Buy Bob Dylan's "Christmas in the Heart" on Amazon.

Sarah Palin's Memoirs, "Going Rogue: An American Life"
A perfect gag gift for liberals, Sarah Palin's mavericky recount of her failed 2008 run for vice-president entitled "Going Rogue: An American Life" should bring about some groans and guffaws. The book should have its fair share of hilarious quotes about Russia and backhanded compliments about running mate John McCain.

Buy Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue: An American Life" on Amazon.

Handerpants, Underpants For Your Hands
Handerpants are underwear for your hands. They look like tiny pairs of tighty whiteys that protect your mitts. Don't ask what they are useful for. The Handerpants website offers a lot of suggestions for the practical use of Handerpants, as well as an informative video, but that doesn't matter. Whoever receives this gag gift will never look at you quite the same way again, but they always be reminded of you whenever they see a pair of underwear.

Buy Handerpants on the official website.

The Shake Weight
Already immortalized on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the Shake Weight is a battery-operated vibrating weight that promises to sculpt arms, shoulders, and funny bones. The as-seen-on-TV product is a get-ripped-quick device that people are going bonkers over because of its sexually suggestive, rhythmic nature. The Shake Weight is a great gag gift for both sexes because of the open-ended connotations.

Buy The Shake Weight on the official website.

Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve T-Shirt
Three wolves howling at the moon on a t-shirt sounds like your awkward fashion period in the late 1980s, but it's now an ironic fad. The popular internet meme over the three wolf t-shirt is a result of Amazon reviewers in on the joke, writing clever and hyperbolized experiences with the three wolves staring at full moon t-shirt. The wolf trio t-shirt is a great Secret Santa or white elephant gift.
