Set the Outlook calendar! Boss’s Day is October 16. Sure, as holidays go, it’s no Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but Boss’s Day offers an opportunity to acknowledge the check-signer. 

You can go sincere with flowers or gift basket, or if you willing to step out a bit, a gag gift might hit the spot. My pick for a gag gift is this Personalized Executive Decision Maker desk toy. You might be thinking your boss probably already uses one of these, but you can erase all doubt with this fun gift. This one’s great for the boss with a sense of humor.

Personalized Decision Maker Desk Toy starting at $40.00.

Perfect for the class clown, it's made to match the cover of the popular "Oh, the Places You'll Go!". And with a cap like this, you may not know exactly where you'll go, but you know you'll definitely have fun getting there.

What do you get the grad who's always been a class clown? Not some boring old dorm fridge, that's for sure. But this USB Mini Frig is a different story.

Any jokester will appreciate the wonderful absurdity/genius of this one-can-only cooler. Just put the bevvy in the retro-looking device, plug it into the computer, and within seconds, you've got an ice-cold drink without even having to leave your chair! Which means it's perfect for the lazy college student. Not to mention an awesome graduation gift for the grad with the Best Sense of Humor.

Ah, Administrative Assistants' Day. You could go with flowers, candy, or even a fruit basket. But why not just acknowledge what a pain in the—well, you know—you've been with this clever Giant Aspirin Tablet?

The enormous (662,250 milligrams) pill might not make up for all the headaches you've caused, but it will hold down all the paperwork you've assigned (the heavy ceramic tablet has a felt back for paperweight use). Yes, it's quirky, but it's a great gift for assistants with a sense of humor!

Need a gift idea? Need it fast? Here's a quick list of gifts we're loving this week.

For office April Foolery: The Slingshot Flying Monkey–what could be more fun than flinging a screeching monkey over your shoulder and into your quietly typing neighbor’s lap?   

For your kitty: A cats-only window perch so she can bask in the spring sun.

For the music loving eco girl: Impressively cool butterfly wall art made from recycled vinyl records. (via Haute Nature)

For the guy with bracket fever: A copy of The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything, will fuel his need to narrow down a field of 65 long after the NCAA tourney is complete.

For the Trendanista: Citrus-colored spring deals from Banana Republic (we told you about the brights trend earlier this week!). (via SheFinds)

Really want to get to somebody this April Fool's?  If you know their weakness, you can go straight for the jugular with one of these hilarious guides to ruining your life. They might sound a little cruel, but I swear they're funny!

I know just the hypochondriac I’m going to send The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You to! And if you know a girl who's uber conscious about watching her figure, send her How to Get Fat so she can learn to lighten up a little!   

How to Get Fat starting at $10

April 1st ranks up there with my favorite holidays. There may not be zillions of presents (Christmas) or loads of booze (St. Patty's), but it's the only day dedicated to all things funny. And who doesn't love a good practical joke?

You can bet I do, which is why I'll be using these hilarious Dynamite Bursting Golf Balls on all my golfer buddies—and I highly suggest you do the same. These golf balls look just like the real thing, but put them on the tee, take a swing, and bam! Watch them explode and watch all your friends jump out of their skin. It doesn't get any better than that! Happy April Fool's!

Dynamite Bursting Golf Balls starting at $12.95

I'm sure you've seen your fair share of R/C cars, even dinos or flying bugs. But what about R/C hopping and yodeling novelty lederhosen!? How have we lived so long without them?

Each pair of these plastic Bavarian trousers is activated by a remote control knockwurst. Just press the button to make the lederhosen hop around and make yodeling sounds. I think this is an absolutely hilarious April Fool's Day gift. Sneak the lederhosen onto your coworker’s desk and set off the yodeling from a safe distance. Warning: yodeling lederhosen can cause dangerous amounts of laughter!

R/C Hopping & Yodelling Lederhosen starting at $19.49 

Some of my Type A pals have a Post-it obsession. They believe the amount of colored notes on their desk is related to their productivity; which is why they deserve this Sticky Set: Whenever as an April Fool's gift.

The set is a perfectionist's dream with individual pads for things to do today, soon and someday, as well as handy-dandy flags labeled now, later and never. And they all come tucked into a trusty desk tray to keep everything organized in place. It's an ideal gift for poking fun at your Achiever friends' crazy tendencies and to add to the humor, they'll probably find the Sticky Set useful!
