What are the Most Random Gifts for Friends?

Finding the perfect gift to help you stand out from the crowd can be difficult, especially when you’re shooting for random and funny, but your brain is drawing a blank! If you’re shopping for a unique and unpredictable present but still want it to come across as personal and thoughtful you’ve come to the right place. We’ve all been guilty of grabbing a last-minute prezzie from a supermarket in a pinch, but it feels rubbish when you really care about the person and wanted to get the perfect thing but just couldn’t decide what that was.

We set ourselves the challenge of pulling together a list of our most out-of-the-box gifts to give you a few fun present ideas that tick every box; funny, thoughtful, useful, meaningful and, most of all, random!

What Makes a Random Gift Really Good?

Remember, random doesn’t mean pointless- it means unexpected! The sort of gift that makes them laugh their heads off but also shows how well you know them. A brilliant random gift should make them nostalgic; it should remind them of a private joke between the two of you or a personality trait that reminds them why you love them.

How to Pick the Best Random Gift- Laughing Sisters Quick Tips!

1.     Always make your gift picks personal, don’t just follow the crowd. Try to think of something you have in common, or that only you know about them or something you both find hilarious that others would be judgy about!

2.     Try to go for something that’s actually useful as well as entertaining, something that will keep them giggling for months to come. When something is unexpectedly hilarious, you laugh every time you see it; a funny pen or notepad that they’ll use every day does just that.

3.     Tap into their loves, hates or hobbies to add that bit of magic. Or make sure you make a real celebration of their life events and achievements!

4.     Add a personalised, hand-written note (either do it yourself before you send it on or ask us to do it and send it straight to them)! Either way, it lets them know how much effort you’re putting in and how much you care.

5.     Pull a personal selection of products together to make a truly unique and quirky gift basket!
