The “as-many-presents-as-their-age” trend you see on Instagram and other social media.
In addition to the main gift, you give a mix of large and small presents—ranging from little snacks to everyday items that are nice to receive—so that the total number matches the birthday person’s age.
To make everything feel cohesive, a key tip is to rewrap items yourself instead of leaving them in the store’s shopping bags, and to number the packages so the recipient opens the main present last.
What many people struggle with for this “as-many-presents-as-their-age” idea is choosing the smaller items besides the main gift.
If you search on Instagram or online, you’ll find lots of stylish ideas, but many of you might be thinking, “I want to include a few things with a sense of humor, too.”
So in this article, we’ll introduce humorous and fun gift ideas—from items that’ll make them chuckle to cute things that make you think, “This actually exists?!”
We’ve picked affordable options, so be sure to incorporate them into your “as-many-presents-as-their-age” plan.

[Humor] A roundup of funny items you can use for “as many presents as your age” (1–10)
Chupa Chups bouquet
Trends like making bags and towers out of store-bought sweets—“sweets for everything”—are popular right now.
So how about making a Chupa Chups bouquet to give as a gift? Turning your everyday gratitude into a flower bouquet can feel a bit embarrassing, but with a Chupa Chups bouquet, you can hand it over with a smile.
A bouquet with a mix of flavors, one unified by a single color palette, or one made only with the ‘adult’ Chupa Chups—there are so many ideas!
Kikiyu and Captain Duck: Big Adventure Set
As a practical gift, how about the “Kikiyu & Captain Duck Big Adventure Set”? It pairs Kikiyu bath salts with a toy “Captain Duck” that glides across the water while bubbling.
It’s something you can use every day, and Captain Duck’s look will warm your heart.
The price is around 900 yen per set, and each set includes three packets of Kikiyu.
It’s been a hot topic on social media, and I think it’s the kind of “small gift that’s delightful to receive” but hard to buy for yourself.
Flying alarm clock
Did you know there’s a flying alarm clock? When the alarm goes off, a detachable propeller flies away, and it won’t stop ringing until you catch the propeller and return it to its base.
That way, you’re out of bed whether you like it or not.
I think it’s a perfect quirky add-on gift for someone who struggles with mornings, as part of a “one present for each year of age” set.
Crayon pastel towel set
How about giving a “Cray-Pas Towel” as a surprise item that catches the eye at first glance? These towels come in packaging that looks just like Sakura Cray-Pas.
The design matches the crayons many of us had in kindergarten or elementary school, making you want to say, “So cute!” The towels themselves come in soft, pastel shades inspired by crayon colors.
There are two options available: a set of two towels, and a five-piece set that includes items like face towels.
hair LABO cultivation set
Gifts you can display and enjoy are great, aren’t they? That’s why I’d like to suggest the hair LABO growing set.
It’s a cultivation kit that lets you grow leaves just by adding water.
The soil section is designed to look like a human face, and the charm is that when the leaves sprout, it looks as if hair is growing.
You can trim the lush leaves and style them into any haircut you like.
By the way, there’s also a kids’ version where the face is that of a child.
DECO Choco
If you want to make someone chuckle, gifting DECO Choco is a great idea.
DECO Choco is a service that lets you create Tirol Chocolates with original packaging.
There are a variety of templates available, including ones with a space to add a name and designs full of humor.
You can also create completely original package designs from photos or illustrations.
It even seems possible to print numbers directly on the DECO Choco packages.
A muscular man’s arm pillow
If you give someone a muscular man arm pillow, they’re sure to be surprised.
As the name suggests, it’s a pillow that recreates the arm of a buff man.
To use it, you tuck yourself between the armpit area and sleep with it like a body pillow.
Not only is it a fun gag, but it’s practical for everyday use, too.
By the way, this muscular man arm pillow comes in two versions: right arm and left arm.
Choose the one that suits your sleeping position.
Meiji Milk Chocolate Puzzle
Giving a jigsaw puzzle to someone who loves puzzles is already a classic, isn’t it? But since birthdays come every year, it might be nice to throw in a curveball once in a while.
So let me introduce a slightly quirky puzzle: the Meiji Milk Chocolate Puzzle.
This puzzle looks just like real chocolate.
All you do is pack the broken-up chocolate pieces into the box—but it’s surprisingly challenging.
They say there are a million possible combinations.
With its cute appearance and practical fun, it’s perfect to include among the early gifts in a “one present for each year of age” set.
Pocky chopsticks
Have you heard of “Pocky Chopsticks”? They’re a hot topic on social media, and their defining feature is that, despite being chopsticks, they look just like Pocky sticks.
They’re so identical to real Pocky that at a glance, you might not even realize they’re chopsticks.
It could be fun to mix them in with real Pocky and hand them out as a prank to see if anyone notices.
They’re also perfect for rounding out a set when you want to give tableware or kitchen goods as a gift.
Slip them in among more serious presents, and the whole gift takes on a much more humorous vibe.
animal slippers
When giving interior goods or household items as a present, pairing them with slippers is a great idea.
In fact, there are many fun products designed to look like animals.
For example, there are ones shaped like a crocodile with its mouth open, cat-shaped ones, and versions made in collaboration with popular characters.
It’s also recommended to gift slippers that prioritize functionality.
Try choosing based on the recipient’s tastes and lifestyle.
By the way, inexpensive options are available starting at under 1,000 yen.
