Top 5 Christmas Gifts for 5 Bucks

With money being tight for most families the term "it's not the price of the gift, but the thought that counts" is being echoed throughout the country. Paying a fortune for Christmas gifts is ridiculous. most items you buy are usually overpriced in the first place and there are so many ways to go wrong when it comes to buying other people things. The standard is, if I really want something I will buy it myself. So, the majority of the time what you buy someone for Christmas isn't going to be what they wanted at all. So, this year really shock your friends and family by purchasing them some really off-the-wall Christmas presents. It is best if you discuss with your family your desire to have a 'gag gift' Christmas. If everybody participates this will be one fun and inexpensive way to celebrate Christmas!

Although these gifts are unique, strange, and downright odd doesn't mean they aren't great presents. you will probably get lots of laughs which is one of the best parts of the holiday season. the laughing, conversing, and reminiscing about past Christmas' and old memories. Below are some of the top gifts for $5 and below.

The number 5 top gift idea is something you make yourself. This could be spun in so many different ways. if you are getting something for a friend you could find one of the most hideous portraits of them and blow it up to an 8 x 10. Frame it in a cheap dollar store frame and decorate the frame. Your friend will get a real gas out of this odd gift. Your friend will probably be mad as well, this is when you remind her that 'tis the season to be jolly.

The number 4 top gift under $5 goes to one of your uncles, preferably the dirty old uncle that likes to tell fart jokes. That ole pull the finger bit never gets old to him. For Uncle Flatulence might I suggest anything from the bargain bin at Spencer's. If you have a wacky uncle you could get him a unique keychain or a novelty pen.

The number 3 top gift for under $5 is for your sibling. Get out a sheet of paper and write down something totally embarrassing about your sibling that they would kill you if you ever told anyone. Nothing that will be hurtful, we want to keep up with the good cheer of the holidays, but, write this down and place it inside a pretty, but cheap jewelry box. You can find one at any dollar store for $1 to $5. This should get interesting. You can't tell though!

The number 2 top gift for under $5 goes to dear old dad. This gag is especially funny if you are an adult child. Buy your dad a cheap hammer. This will be a memory inducer from all the gifts you got him like this when you were a child. To take it a step further, instead of buying him a hammer, find his in the garage and wrap it up.

The number 1 top gift under $5 is for mom. Keeping with the gag theme, buy your mom a membership to the local biker club. This only works if your mother is super conservative, otherwise this won't be funny at all but be a totally cool gift. Most bar memberships are about $5 anyway. If you aren't old enough to buy her a membership card you can always make her a fake one.
