• Take a sly approach: Wrap the humorous gift beautifully.Christmas Gift image by Mary Beth Granger from Fotolia.com
  
  If you need to buy a Christmas gift for a boss who has a good sense of humor, consider giving a gift he can laugh about this year. Search online under "office gag gifts" and order one online or search stores near you. Keep the gift tasteful as you appeal to the funny bone. Wrap it in some decorative paper, tie a ribbon around it and top with a bow to give your gift maximum impact.
  
  

Silly Office Supplies

• This year give your boss the gift of laughter as you present him with a book filled with office humor. Other ideas for silly gifts include a wooden carved pen of an alligator, frog, pirate skull or unicorn with a dinosaur pencil sharpener. Throw in some peanut erasers. For your female boss, consider a chocolate calculator made out of rubber or a Tiki tissue box.
  
  

Novelty Food Items

• Entertain your boss with an ice cream cone that dispenses jelly beans like "Apple Pie a la Cold Stone" or "Chocolate Devotion." Wow him with a miniature six-pack of soda cans filled with soda candy or some nacho mints. Bring out the patriot in him with army men or jet fighters gummy candy or give him sour gummy popcorn. Choose candy like lighted lollipops or candy that allows her to build her own log cabin.
  
  

Miscellaneous

• Confuse him with a clock that tells time backward or give an exploding ticking bomb clock. Give her a Cheshire cat mug with a cat that disappears as she drinks or a chalk mug for her to write notes on as she sips. For those days when deadlines loom, give her a "panic button" key to push which attaches to any key on her computer keyboard. Give the golfer a hole-in-one hat, the patriot a flag-waving hat, the croupier a dice hat and the attorney a hungry shark hat.
