Funny T-Shirts for Men: The Simplest of Dirty Santa Gift Ideas

If you’re ever at a loss what to buy for a Dirty Santa party, think funny t-shirts for men. Funny t-shirts are the easiest and simplest of the Dirty Santa gift ideas to buy. There is nary a person who doesn’t wear tees and there are a lot to choose from. Having said that, men seem to like funny t-shirts a lot more than women. Chalk that up to emotional (im)maturity, if you will, but there’s no question that funny t-shirts for men make for the best Dirty Santa gifts.

While we say that the funny t-shirts we’ve carefully selected for this collection are for men, women can wear these too. In fact, women wearing any of these funny tshirts for men will achieve greater impact because they are less expected to do something like that in the first place. If any of these hilarious men’s tees aren’t available in women’s cuts or sizes, they’re mostly going to be unisex so either follow the instructions of the seller or go one size smaller to be sure.
