Those Funny Family Gifts

Have you ever laughed at a funny gift from someone in your family? There are really ridiculous gifts available for your wife, husband, kids—especially the kids who are spoilt and have everything!

You have this wonderful husband and he is earning around $380,000 per annum, the house is paid off and the luxury cars are new, paid for in cash. The wife has a Lexus and he has a new Jaguar.

The kids have everything they need from their own iPads, laptops, computer games—and there is even a couple of arcade games for the kids in the room next to the billiard hall. Yep, it's big, and this family have bucks, plenty.

Yes, this family is very happy, they have everything they need. They go on vacation about twice a year mainly to the Caribbean. They love Anguilla as they always have so much fun and there's so much to do as a family.

She has a birthday coming up next week and he considers he should get her something special, something she'll fall in love with. But hey, what? She has everything she needs, diamonds, okay it is not the Dudley Diamond at around 47 carats but they are not el-cheapo either, she has the finest clothes even though he doesn't notice much what she is wearing—so he muses, what on earth can he get her for her 47th birthday coming up all too soon?

She buys all she needs for herself and the four kids, she has her own credit card and money to buy things is never on her mind, and of course she would never consult the price tag of anything, she doesn't need to.

He considers getting her something she'll love to be a great challenge; he consults the kids and asks them “What do you think Mom would love for her birthday next week?” They come up with several ideas so inane like a coffee mug with her name on it, a brooch with her picture inside it, a pair of slippers that look similar to ostrich feet; a T-shirt with “I Love Mom”.

“No kids,” say father, “It has to be something original, not crap!  This world is saturated with coffee mugs and T-shirt and besides, it is not the kind of thing Mom would really appreciate.”

Then Josh, the eldest comes up with his brilliant idea; “What about giving her a ball of nothing?”

“And how do we do that?” the kid's chorus. “Well, we give her an empty box with nothing inside.”

“No,” says father, that would be an insult, it has to be something tangible, something you can touch.” 

“How about a jar of sunshine?” Josh asks, “It's a jar with no switch and there is a light sensor inside making the light come on after dark, I saw it at the store."

“Great idea,” says Pa, “We'll get one tomorrow and all of you can create a few personal birthday cards, she'll love that!”

So what do you give to someone who has everything? Give something that will make them laugh! Go here for a few laughs but there are no special gifts for moms.
