Dirty Santa Gifts for $5 and Under
1. Wacky Whims Funny Nose Pencil Sharpener — $4.49 at Amazon
A $5 gift exchange budget might seem tricky to meet, but with a little creativity, you can find a fantastic gift within the price range. This Funny Nose Pencil Sharpener ($4.49, Amazon) is actually one of our favorites on this list because of its value —after all, it’s hilarious, functional, and bound to have party guests giggling.
Tip: The name “Dirty Santa” actually has nothing to do with the types of gifts given and instead has to do with the actual game itself, which involves stealing gifts from participants. As far as what to buy for a dirty Santa gift is concerned, anything with humor involved is a total win.
2. ZUMMR Hummingbird Ring Feeder — $4.99 at Amazon
We’ll be honest: The idea of a hummingbird drinking sugar water from our hands kind of freaks us out — and hopefully it does the same to whoever gets this funny Dirty Santa gift.
