Whether you know someone who’s recently made a big move to a big city, have a longtime friend who’s spent their whole life city living, or happen to be living in the city and searching for much-deserved gifts to treat yourself with, you’ll find everything you’re looking for.
From hilarious novelty items and prankster-approved presents to practical kitchen items and cute home decor, here are 25 funny gifts for city dwellers!
Starting this list of funny gifts for city dwellers off with this Hawaiian shirt because what city dweller doesn't wish they were on an island right now? But even if they can't pack up and head off to the Aloha state, they can at least walk around looking like they're about to! Besides, there's nothing more offputting than seeing someone walking around a big city dressed like a middle-aged vacation dad, so seeing people's reactions will be fun.
Naturally, walking around with a fanny pack that looks like a WWE championship belt is the next best option when you want to get weird stares. Of course, pairing it with the Hawaiian shirt would make it even more unhinged. If your favorite city dweller happens to identify as an unhinged individual, they'll certainly love this combo!
As if you don't have to deal with enough pigeons as it is...Here's this simulation foam pigeon, which you can place on your window sill, garden, or decorative shelf. If you think it's staring at you, don't worry, it definitely is! But if you get too intimidated by it, you can always gift it to your cat, whose favorite toy it will become.
This mini stun gun is a helpful gift on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers because it could come in handy if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. It's small but effective, and for women who love cute, sparkly things, it'll be fun to carry around even if there's no danger in sight! Besides that, it's definitely the perfect gift for any woman sitting across from someone with a 'Where I Buried the Bodies' journal on the subway.
Speaking of being unhinged and getting stares, here's one of those funny gifts for city dwellers that will keep weirdos away (or attract them - it depends!) Nobody will bother you on the subway when they see you glancing around with a pen hovering over your death note journal, just waiting to write a name down.
Alternatively, this 'Where I Buried the Bodies' journal is even more likely to keep people from coming up to start small talk. Or it'll attract the attention of other individuals who also love edgy humor, and you could end up with a new best friend. Either way, a win is a win, and if you're new to the city, this journal will work its magic for you regardless.
Continuing this list of funny gifts for city dwellers with subway chaos in mind, it's safe to say we've all witnessed an argument while taking public transportation. It's just unfortunate we couldn't play a sad song on a tiny violin during it, but you'll never miss your chance to do so again! With this 3-inch instrument, you can provide all the entertainment needed to break up the tension--or add to it and risk becoming the common enemy.
This set of fake parking tickets is one of the best items on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers for pranksters who love giving their friends heart attacks. Slap one of these bad boys on your friend's car and get ready to record their meltdown for you guys to laugh at for the rest of eternity. Just make sure to treat them to some well-deserved drinks afterward so they don't take it as a revenge gift.
If you're usually the prankee instead of the prankster in your friend group, you might prefer this 'WTF' Note pad. It comes with every variation of the question you could possibly need, and the 'WTF were you thinking' and 'WTF is wrong with you' options are likely to be particularly useful.
You'll need something to write on your 'WTF' notepad with, and what better option than this hot dog pen? Sure, you could use a regular pen, but where's the fun in that? Using this one is sure to illicit some laughter, and whipping this out of seemingly thin air will give you and everyone around you a serotonin boost.
If you're going to have decorative pens and pencils, you may as well have a decorative pencil holder, too. There's no classier desk decor option than this dumpster pencil holder! You can keep your pens, pencils, sticky notes, and other small items in it for safekeeping.
If you want more funny gifts for city dwellers who love fun desk decor, consider getting this Chia pet hedgehog! Keeping it on top of your desk and watching it grow over time will keep you from getting bored at your desk while you're slacking off during the workday.
If you're interested in having more cute decor on your desk, you could always get these handmade cactus candles. This six-set of long-burning candles will add a pop of color, and they're cute enough to be set on decorative tables or shelves, too! It's a nice way to add some greenery to your life, even when you're living in the middle of a bustling city.
If you're not interested in plants but would still like a lovely candle, you could always go for this middle finger-shaped candle instead! This is an option on the list of funny gifts for city dwellers that's perfect for those of you who have an annoying neighbor in the building across from yours who can see through your window. Pretty niche, but if that sounds like you, set this candle up on a table in front of the window and enjoy the reaction.
Let's face it; living in the city can be super stressful sometimes! If you need a little stress relief, you could choose to attend therapy, or you could invest in this squishy dumpling stress ball. Same difference! Kinda! It'll at least uplift your mood for a little while, and it makes a great fidget toy.
What's the point of living in a big, bustling city if you're not going to enjoy your fair share of the nightlife? Get out and go, enjoy the clubs and bars, and be sure to take a few pregame shots beforehand to get the full effect! But don't just use any old shot glass. These porta-potty shot glasses are ridiculous enough to make it all the more fun!
Another practical gift on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers is this set of hangover survival kit bags. After a night out drinking, you'll be glad you decided to purchase these when you're hastily digging through them the next morning. Fill it with your pill of choice, gum, makeup wipes, and whatever else you'll need immediately after waking up. Future you will thank past you profusely!
You might as well go ahead and invest in this totally necessary prescription coffee mug, too! Drinking out of this novelty mug might just make you crack your first smile of the morning. Plus, who can bug you about your coffee addiction while you're drinking out of a mug that clearly states that it was prescribed to you? Doctor's orders!
This is the best item on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers for those who wish they could enjoy more greenery in their day-to-day lives. If you've been wishing you could walk outside and see nothing but field or enjoy a day out in a huge garden full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers--well, you live in the city, so you can't. Best you can do is drink out of a mug that says you're gardener of the year. Close enough!
There's also always this drunk dwarf garden gnome, which you can set outside your apartment door or place on your favorite coffee table or bookshelf. Or, why not put it on top of your fridge or your bathroom counter? You could make a game out of moving it around every time you have guests over. They'll always be pleasantly surprised to find it--and speaking of guests...
The next item on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers is for those of you who love hosting but hate having drink rings on your furniture. You can bully your guests into using a coaster much more efficiently if the coaster is cool, and it doesn't get any cooler than these retro vinyl record coasters!
Next on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers is this simple yet hilarious doodle-man keychain. It's made of stainless steel and is sure to cause some people to steal a few more glances once it catches their eye for the very first time! You can make a great phone case decoration or purse pendant, too.
If you usually come home after a long day out in the busy city totally exhausted, you might not even have the energy to shuffle over to your light switch and lift a finger to turn it on. Luckily, you don't have to! With this clapper-activated sound device, you can just clap your hands while flinging yourself onto the nearest couch, and no matter where you are, your lights will come on.

As we built this list of funny gifts for city dwellers, we realized we could take it in a lot of funny directions. We had everything from Sex in the City to How I Met Your Mother to pull from. So we hit on fake pigeons, fun lawn care items (we know you guys miss grass), and finally, some fun kitchen items that help remind you of the woods and beach!
In the city, it's even harder not to eat out when there are so many restaurant options nearby, but if you're trying to get into the habit of eating at home more often, investing in this funny crab silicone utensil rest might help. Cooking more often just for the sake of using this adorable kitchen item is valid!
Last on this list of funny gifts for city dwellers is this axe pizza cutter, which is another novelty kitchen item that'll keep you excited to cook at home--or it'll at least make you feel better when you're cutting into the pizza you ordered after giving up on cooking at home two days after you committed to doing it for the rest of your life.
