Funny Gifts for Him That He'll Actually Use

Rx: For the guy who is impossible to shop for

Shopping for guys usually ends in socks and regret. These picks are funny first but they still do something: cut pizza, grate cheese, launch tennis balls, judge him from the corner of his desk. Good for dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands and the coworker in your gift exchange.
