Funny Books

Match the humour to the person. For toilet humour fans, the 52 Things To Do While You Poo series is a perennial favourite. For dads, Emergency Dad Jokes or any of the 100 Dad Jokes formats land reliably well. For golfers, Golf Jokes or 501 Excuses for a Bad Golf Shot are hard to beat. When in doubt, go for the title that matches their specific obsession.

They're probably the best gift for someone who doesn't read. Humour books don't require any commitment — they're short entries, open anywhere, put down anytime. Someone who hasn't finished a book since school will still pick up Emergency Dad Jokes or 100 Fartastic Facts and work through the whole thing without realising they've been reading for twenty minutes.

Quite a few. Emergency Dad Jokes, Dad Jokes The Good The Bad The Terrible, Terribly Cheesy Dad Jokes, The Little Book of Dad Jokes, The Little Book of Ultimate Dad Jokes, 100 Un-beer-able Dad Jokes, and Brain Training While You Poo all sit firmly in dad territory. Most are under $25 and work well as standalone gifts or paired with something else.

A joke book is a collection of jokes — short, punchy, standalone gags. A humour book is broader — it might include jokes, facts, quizzes, activities, or observations that are all built around being funny. The 52 Things series are humour books. The 100 Jokes formats are joke books. Both work well as gifts — it just depends on whether the person prefers quick hits or more variety.

Most humour titles sit between $13.95 and $24.95, making them one of the most affordable categories in the store. The 100 Jokes formats start from $13.95. The 52 Things series sits around $16.95–$22.95. Emergency Dad Jokes is $24.95. All well within Kris Kringle's limits and easy to combine with another gift.
