Gag Gifts For Cops

Choose a gag gift for the police officer in your life.


Although police officers have a very serious job, sometimes they like to have a laugh. So when you are shopping for a cop with a sense of humor, consider choosing a gag gift. A funny present can be a welcome gesture for a cop, because although you are recognizing what he does for a living, you are also helping him deal with the pressure of his work.


Doughnut Gift Card


This is a gag gift that is both funny and useful. Purchase a gift card for him to a local doughnut shop. This gift plays on the long-running joke that all police officers like eating doughnuts while on the job. Even though that is a joke, the truth is, many people do enjoy doughnuts, including police officers. He can use the gift card to buy doughnuts and other pastries, or simply some hot coffee to help get him through a long night shift.


Crime Scenes


Give him a roll of novelty toilet paper that looks like crime-scene tape, and a matching shower curtain. Alternatively, give him a beach towel with a chalk outline of a person on it. Lots of other types of gifts can be made with a crime-scene tape pattern, such as a license plate holder, a tie or a cocktail shaker.


Poster


Have a poster made that looks like an Old West wanted poster. Put his photo in the center of the poster and include text such as: Wanted for Sleeping on the Job. Reward, $10,000, for example. You could also have a poster made that uses a head shot of him and make it look like a mug shot. This might be suitable to hang in his office or sit on his desk.
