The Friday 15 Gift Guide: Funny Books for Everyone on Your List

If you’re visiting this site, that (probably) means you know how to read, and many of the people on your holiday gift list know how to read as well. So…

WHY NOT GET THEM BOOKS!?

I’m not a genius, you guys. Just a simple gal who likes a nice, hilarious, offensive coffee table book as most (normal) people do. Here are 15 literary gems for everyone on your list from your BF to your GF to your BFF to your D.A.D. with links so you can easily purchase on Amazon. Also, many of these can be found at Urban Outfitters. Oh, and in book stores, too (are those still around)? Let’s start this chapter…

1. For your friend who’s always asking, “So like, how do you do that?” (Couldn’t hurt to pick up a copy for yourself, too).

3. For your prude sister who could use the tips, your incredibly innapropriate cousin who will read this in public, and any guy who has ever sent you a thumb-dick pic like the cover (I saw heard they’re making a comeback).

4. For your friends or family members who drink in excess (welp, that’s everyone on my list), the college kid who doesn’t own one cookbook, or the person you want to bring you hungover breakfast in bed (wink, wink).
