Funny Christmas Gifts for Him: Rude T-Shirts for Boyfriends, Husbands and Dads

Ask a man what he wants for Christmas and he will say "nothing, honestly". He means it right up until the 25th, when he opens a gift set of shower gel and looks quietly betrayed. Funny Christmas gifts for him get around this. He didn't ask for a t-shirt with a fishing pun on it, but he will wear it to the pub on Boxing Day and tell everyone who bought it.

This guide is the shortlist of funny gifts for men that people buy from us at Christmas, sorted by who you are buying for: boyfriend, husband, dad, brother or the mate who is impossible to buy for. Everything here is in our Funny Gifts for Him collection, with the best-sellers at the top.

Why a funny t-shirt works as a gift for men

Most men own about four t-shirts they actually like and wear them in rotation until they fall apart. A good funny t-shirt joins that rotation. It gets worn to the pub, to the gym and to the barbecue, and every time someone asks about it, you get the credit. That is more than you can say for the novelty socks.

The trick is picking the right joke. Some men want something rude. Some want something clever that only looks rude. A few want a picture of garlic bread. All three are below.

The best-sellers

Master Baiter

Master Baiter sits near the top of this collection all year round. It is a 1990s bootleg rap tee built out of fishing photos: a moustached man in sunglasses and a camo vest holding up a big fish, more fish and anglers around him, purple lightning and chrome lettering. It is a proper fishing t-shirt for the man who fishes, and an excellent joke for the man who doesn't.

Sir Racha

Sir Racha is our best-selling t-shirt overall, and the one you can give to a man whose mum will be at Christmas dinner. A crowned queen knights a bottle of hot sauce in its own red armoured boots, drawn like a page from a medieval manuscript. From across the room it looks like a tasteful art print. Up close it is a pun about chilli sauce.

Smiguel

Smiguel is the design people know us for. It is a woodcut-style engraving of a very familiar gaunt, wide-eyed figure in a straw sombrero, a rainbow serape and a curled black moustache, with the name in gold capitals underneath. It is a funny gift for him if he has spent any part of his life watching fantasy films, and a mystery to everyone else.

Funny Christmas gifts for your boyfriend

Buying for a boyfriend is tricky, because you will have to look at whatever you choose. Pick something you find funny too.

Alpha Male

The Alpha Male t-shirt is built entirely out of kittens. A grey kitten stares out of the middle, surrounded by lapdogs in party hats, a unicorn and a rainbow, with ALPHA MALE in pink glitter letters. It is for the boyfriend who is soft and knows it, or the one who isn't and needs telling.

Human by Chance, Alpha by Choice

A wolf-man crouching in front of a full moon, with howling wolves and blue lightning. Human by Chance Alpha by Choice is for anyone who has ever quoted a motivational post on social media with a straight face. It is also one of the most-searched designs we have.

Rizz God (I Can't Speak to Women)

Gothic red lettering, flaming skeletons, and a brutally honest subtitle. Rizz God is a funny gift for a boyfriend who somehow managed to get a girlfriend despite the evidence.

Funny Christmas gifts for your husband

By the time you are married, you know exactly which joke will land. These are the ones wives tend to pick.

The More Hair I Lose, the More Head I Get

The More Hair I Lose the More Head I Get is a red and orange collage of bald and balding men, one holding a magnifying glass up to his scalp. It takes the thing he is sensitive about and turns it into a boast. It is bought by balding men and given to them by everyone else.

Short King and Proud

Short King and Proud is a collage of a king, some garden gnomes, a pig and a cat, under teal fantasy lettering. He has heard every height joke already, so give him a shirt that gets there first.

Begging for a Pegging

Drawn like a 1990s metal tour shirt, with hooded skeletal figures in robes and purple lightning, Begging for a Pegging is one of the ruder Christmas gifts for men on this page. Only you know whether that is a good idea. It sits near the top of our best-seller list, so plenty of people have decided it is.

Funny Christmas gifts for dad

Dads are the hardest people in the world to buy for. They already own a tool for everything and they will never admit they want anything. The answer is a t-shirt that makes the whole table laugh at Christmas dinner.

I Love Garlic Bread

I Love Garlic Bread is a bootleg metal tee collage of hooded skeletons and blue flames, with slices of garlic bread pushed in among them. It is a funny gift for dad if he orders a side of it every time, without exception. It is clean enough to wear anywhere.

Gluten Tolerant

A full pint of lager in the middle, surrounded by bread, croissants and pasta in purple lightning. The Gluten Tolerant t-shirt is for the dad who is tired of hearing about everyone else's dietary requirements.

I Love Dumb Blondes

I Love Dumb Blondes sounds terrible until you look at it. It is six golden retrievers with their tongues out. Any man who owns a golden retriever will understand immediately.

I Love Older Women

Six smiling white-haired women layered over pink flowers and hearts. I Love Older Women gets one of the biggest reactions across a dinner table, especially if his wife is a year or two older than him.

Rude gifts for men who are impossible to buy for

For brothers, best mates and the friend whose sense of humour has no floor.

Registered Flex Offender

Four bodybuilders flexing in purple smoke. The Registered Flex Offender t-shirt is a gym shirt for the man who has his protein in a labelled tub and his workouts in a spreadsheet.

Sir Cumcise

Sir Cumcise belongs to the same family of pun designs as Sir Racha, but it is aimed lower. Much lower. It is one for the brother, not the father-in-law.

Micro Penis Club President

Drawn as a proper club crest with a marble statue, a laurel wreath and ribbon banners. Micro Penis Club President looks like a rugby club badge from a distance, which is exactly why it works as a wind-up gift between mates.

There are around eighty products in our funny gifts for him collection if none of these is quite right.

Funny gifts for him: questions

What is a good funny Christmas gift for a man who has everything?

A t-shirt with a joke that is about him. Bald, short, obsessed with the gym, obsessed with garlic bread: there is a shirt for each. A man who has everything still doesn't have that.

Are these too rude to open at Christmas dinner?

Some are. Sir Racha, I Love Garlic Bread, Gluten Tolerant and I Love Dumb Blondes are safe in front of anyone. Begging for a Pegging and Micro Penis Club President are better opened somewhere else.

What size should I buy?

His normal size. The fit is a regular unisex cut, true to size. If he likes his t-shirts loose, go up one.

When do I need to order by for Christmas?

Order by mid-December for Christmas delivery. The exact date for your country is shown at checkout.

Do you ship outside the UK?

Yes. We are UK-based and ship worldwide from fulfilment centres in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe.
