  If you have a friend or relative who is having a special event, such as a birthday or anniversary, you could buy a conventional gift for the occasion, or you could choose to give them something funny. And rather than simply buying a generic gag gift from a store or online, you can create a homemade one. This will give you the chance to make it highly personalized to the recipient.
  
  

Muscleman/woman Posters

• Use a graphics program to create a funny poster of your friend. One way to do this is to take another image of a very muscular person and use the copy and paste function on your computer to place the head of your friend onto the head of the muscular substitute. Most programs, including Photoshop and GIMP, has a clone tool that allows the user to blend seams together so they cannot be seen. An alternative is to use the smudge tool to blend the edges in.
  
  

Cards

• Another gag gift might be a humorous card. For example, if your friend is having a birthday and is worried about getting older, you can take a photo of him and use scissors to cut his face out. Then paste a picture of a very old person (Methuselah would do) with a beard inside a folded card. Next, paste the face of your friend over the face of the other person. Finally, write something like "Feel bad now? Just wait till next year."
  
  

T-shirt Transfers

• Another funny gag gift idea you might make for someone is a printed T-shirt. Simply create images, text or both, in a graphics program and print them onto T-shirt iron-ons. For example, if the recipient is becoming concerned about their increasing age, you can create funny text, such as, "I'm old as the hills and twice as lumpy," or "I was there when dirt was made."
