Funny Christmas Gifts: Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies With a Joke

The best funny Christmas gifts are the ones the person will actually wear after the laugh. Every design below is a finished joke, printed to order on a t-shirt, a sweatshirt or a hoodie, with no name or photo to arrange. Most are on our Christmas shirts and Christmas sweatshirts pages.

Christmas jokes anyone can wear

Dear Santa Define Good stacks fine script, bold condensed capitals and serif lettering in cream and festive red, for anyone still asking Santa for a clear definition. All of the Otter Reindeer is a pun for otter lovers, an otter in antlers and a red knit; it also comes in youth sizes and on a tote bag. For a party, see our Secret Santa gift ideas.

Funny gifts for one hobby

A joke about the thing someone loves most is hard to get wrong.

• Ask Me About My Sourdough Starter: a cute starter jar and a loaf, for the home baker who loves talking about the starter.
• I'll Be in My Office: hand-lettered script beside a doodled chocolate-chip cookie, in cream and sky blue.
• Fast Food: slab-serif lettering over a sprinting deer, for deer hunters; it also comes on a dad hat.
• Jiu Jitsu Uncle: a gi, a knotted belt, game controllers and a smoking grill, for the uncle at every belt promotion.

Funny, but for church friends

If Paul Were Here, We'd Be Getting a Letter sets the line in minimal vintage typewriter lettering, a witty gift for a Bible study group that knows its epistles. For a gift that is reverent rather than funny, Christmas shirts also carries Oh Come Let Us Adore Him and Matthew 1:21.

Tee, sweatshirt or hoodie?

Every design above comes on a short-sleeve t-shirt, a crewneck sweatshirt and a pullover hoodie. A t-shirt is the easy pick for a warm house or a layering fan; a sweatshirt or hoodie is the one that gets worn all winter. For a gift with a family photo instead of a joke, see personalized Christmas gifts.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a funny Christmas gift that still gets worn?

Are there funny Christmas gifts for kids?

Yes. All of the Otter Reindeer comes on a youth t-shirt and a youth sweatshirt as well as adult sizes, and on a tote bag.

Can these funny gifts be personalized with a name?
