"Over the Hill" Birthday Gifts

Show that Someone Special that They're Getting Old, and Showing It!

Jace Johnston
Everybody knows someone who is going to be over the hill soon. There is an endless supply of cheesy over the hill gag gifts available online. However, these pretty played out and unoriginal. Chances are the recipient is going to be getting a number of these cheesy gifts. If you want your joke to stand out, avoid anything made out of plastic that says forty in big block font on it. I'll show you a few of the over the hill gag gifts that I have given over the years that were a great success.

The key to a great over the hill gag gift is playing on the recipients insecurities about being old. For some this may be their weight, for others it may be their hair color. Some will be losing their eyesight, while others may be losing their hair. Some may even be considered about their lack of sexual stamina.

Cane/Walker

Either a can or a walker, depending on your budget, is a great over the hill gag gift that will poke fun at their age. Chances are, your average 30-50 year old doesn't actually require a walking aid just yet, but they will soon. May as well remind them of that! If you want your gift to stand out, go to your local Walgreens and pick up the most average looking cane you can find.

Hair Growth Products/Hair Dye

Every man is worried about losing their hair, regardless of what they say. I'm already starting to thin and I'm pretty self conscious about it. This makes Rogaine or a product of the same nature a great over the hill gag gift. You can get some of this at any local department store. Let them know that everyone is aware of their thinning situation, and that you're just trying to help out.

Every woman is worried about going grey. There is an entire section of hair dye and grey cover-up dye for your choosing in any department store. Grab some grey cover-up dye for a great over the hill gag gift that will be sure to strike a chord with the recipient.

Sexual Stamina Enhancer

A quick trip to your favorite Circle K, or any convenience store, will arm you with several different 'last longer' products. These are usually seen near the cash register and make insane claims about increasing your sexual stamina, your size, and your pleasure. These make a great over the hill gag gift for men. Load up on a few, maybe 4-6 different ones, and put them together with glow in the dark condoms for a hilarious over the hill gift.

Any gift that plays on the recipient's insecurities about their age is an amazing over the hill gag gift. Just make sure the recipient of your over the hill gift can take a joke; the last thing you want is to make someone cry by giving them a bottle of weight loss pills!

    The truly hard part is figuring out just how big that 'hill' is before someone is concerned about being 'over' it. :)

    Just give them all yarn and tell them to knit a sweater to cover up that mysterious weight gain. It works for both genders and boggles the mind. How the hell do you work these damn needles?

    Your last line says it all ... humorous gifts are great but some people can be easily offended and birthdays are supposed to be fun :-) Great job on this article!
