My Top 10 Funny Travel Gifts

Some of these might actually be practical! Regardless, the giver and receiver will both have a good belly laugh.

1. A Public Toilet Survival Kit

Ahhh. One of the joys of travel is using the public toilet systems around the world. And they do vary in terms of cleanliness, and downright acceptable stench levels.

That’s where the public toilet survival kit comes in. It comes with toilet seat covers, antiseptic wipes, and disposable gloves. Sure, sounds like something more akin to a COVID-19 germ-killing kit, but I’ll take my chances with the toilet! It’s one of those funny travel gifts that will probably be used on the road!

If you’re after more toilet humour, this site has a ‘crapload’ of articles. See:

• The Modern Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan
• Don’t flush ladies things down the toilet – Cambodia (obey or you might clog up the entire sewerage system)
• No S&^*ing in the toilet – Thailand (yes, number ones only!)
• The Korean Urinal Sign – South Korea (make sure you do the pose properly!)
• The toilet brush motorbike
• The funny Toilet Cleaning sign
• The Loo With A View – South Africa (take a dump at a great height!)
• The House of Curries Toilet Sign – South Africa (what might happen if you eat too much of one of their delicious curries in Durban)
• The Literal Outdoor Toilet from Botswana (how to take toilet installation literally!)
• The Soccer goal urinal from Germany (funny, but practical – very great example of German efficiency!)
• The Waterfall Urinal from the United States (how to attract male patrons into your gas station to take a piss)
• Grilled crap in Malaysia!

2. The Remote Controlled Fart Machine

Let’s face it, fart jokes are universal and it doesn’t matter what country you are from, or what language you speak, everyone understands a fart joke. That’s where the Remote Controlled Fart Machine can help be an ice breaker on your next trip. Fart machines are great funny travel gifts for the gadget geek with a really warped sense of humour!

Place it under a seat or a table, and just press the button to scroll through an almost endless array of fart noises, from the cute fart to the sloppy fart. Guaranteed to create some laughs, and maybe some new friends!

3. The Priapus Statue

Good on you if you’re game enough to take this one through immigration, but this Turkish fertility god statue would definitely be a conversation starter in anyone’s home! This is probably one of the most out-there funny travel gifts and souvenirs I’ve come across in my travels.

4. We Sleep Around Camper Mat

For the ‘grey nomad’ in your life, or just anyone who is living the life of camping around the country, why not buy them this funny doormat that will become an amusing entry point to their caravan?

5. Funny Luggage Tags

Some of these might actually stop someone from pinching your luggage from the carousel, while others will probably make people laugh while they’re waiting for their luggage. These are funny travel gifts with a practical purpose!

6. Funny Travel Mugs

Perfect for those who want to attract attention when they’re transporting around their drink of choice.

7. Funny Face Masks

Thanks to COVID-19, one of those products that have had an exponential growth in sales. But why use a boring old pale green or blue surgical mask to sheild out the germs? Wear one with a funny design, because if you can’t see someone laugh, you can at least hear them!

Check out more at my list of funny face masks.

8. Funny T-Shirts

The original transportable laugh starter, and I wear a few funny t-shirts of my own around the place now and then because it’s a great conversation starter at the pub. But there is a line between funny and downright offensive, so make sure you choose your audience wisely with these great funny travel gifts!

Check out some of the funny t-shirts that have appeared on this silly website:

• My own best travel clothing – the translation T-Shirt!
• Must Be This Tall To Ride
• Funny T-Shirt sayings thanks to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans
• I love Boobies shirt from Ecuador
• I Love Big Dumps from New Zealand
• Microsoft Windows – The Amsterdam Version, and
• National Pornographic!

9. Unusual Food

Trying new food is probably one of the best things about travelling. I love sinking my fangs and taste buds into new flavours I haven’t tried before, as I like the new brain pathways these experiences create!

But why not give the gift of either unusual food, oddly labelled food, or just a way to cook it? Here are some examples!

10. Funny Travel Books!

And finally, the best funny travel gift you could give someone is the gift of travel humour, via some hilarious travel literature.

Here are some eye-catching titles below that I have read personally, and are great to inspire a sense of wanderlust as well as causing a giggle!
