funny t-shirts for teens + other hard to shop for people

Ok, teenagers are notoriously hard to shop for when it comes to Christmas and birthdays, right? They’re picky, they want things that are uber expensive, or they say they just want money. Sometimes you just want a gift that will make your teen smile without breaking the bank. Having three teens of my own, I’ve discovered that one of the best gifts for a teenager is a funny t-shirt, so I’ve rounded up 36 funny tees for boys, girls, teens, guys, and any other hard to shop for people on your list. Below you’ll find tees that feature geeky humor, pop culture humor, snarky humor, lazy humor, and more. (And if you’re looking for more great gift ideas for teens, click here.)

 

Note: Under each graphic you’ll find links to each shirt on Amazon (affiliate links). Most come in a variety of sizes and almost all of them come in different colors, so click through to see if the shirt you see here comes in the color you want. Also, if the link takes you to a men’s shirt listing and you’re looking for a women’s shirt, try searching the shirt on Amazon because most of these tees have multiple listings. Happy shopping!
