Dirty Santa Gifts for $10 and Under
I donāt know about you, but I love a good-natured prank, especially in the form of a gag gift. I also love a good present under $10. So overall, these picks are a win-win in my book. Iām partial to the pet butler gag box (though it needs more hamster representation, in my opinion). But you really canāt go wrong with any of these.

For a joke gift thatās a bit more on the whimsical side, might I recommend these options? For animal lovers, consider magnets with little critters on them (bonus points if said critters are in funny poses). Or, you can go for a gift that straddles the line between practical and goofy like a sauce holder for a car thatās 23% off.

Dirty Santa Gifts for $25 and Under
These gifts under $25 are sure to be real crowd-pleasers. Thereās something so hilarious about being excited for a nice bottle of wine, only to find thereās a puzzle in the way. Or, for the person who has everything, consider a knit hat for their bananas. Aside from being silly, the hats also help increase the shelf life of the fruit. So theyāre not as frivolous of a gift as they seem.
