There is an art to giving hilarious t-shirts to people as presents. Going for the laugh doesn't always work. These t-shirts are a way to balance the act of wanting spontaneous hilarity and a cute giggle from the receiver.
If you are going to give any funny t-shirts as presents the first thing you should do is make sure that the person you are gifting it too has the suitable sense of humor. Finding the appropriate t-shirt for a certain person might not be too difficult if you know them and their sense of humor well. However, if you don't quite know if they would get the joke or not; something a bit tamer than the outlandish humor that is shared throughout friendships might see you better off.
Let's not suggest that you give a t-shirt that says: "If you knew my family, you would understand" to your new in-laws. That probably wouldn't be appropriate. To give that same t-shirt to say a sister, brother or a cousin would be hilarious.
You also probably wouldn't give a t-shirt that says: "I'm not aging, I'm fermenting" to your spouse’s Grandmother; but you could give it to your godmother who likes her wine and she will guffaw with delight. There is an art to giving funny t-shirts to people as presents. Going for the laugh doesn't always work. These t-shirts are a way to balance the act of wanting spontaneous hilarity and a cute giggle from the receiver.
Be extra careful with the t-shirts that have the added bonuses of "put phrase here" or "your name here"; those can be funny but not if the wrong person gets it. In this matter appropriateness is the name of the game. Definitely gift t-shirts; but do it wisely.
