I will freely admit that many times, I act like a child. I like to think of it more along the lines of staying young at heart rather than being immature. Gifts for adults… the grown-up kid in all of us, just happens to be my specialty. And trust me, you’ll love these.

My family has owned fake dog poop for decades. It was well worth the money. It is hard not to be when you pay two dollars. I did not put fake poop on this list… I did, however, put fake dog poop on my list of best April Fool’s Day pranks. You are in luck. The items I have picked for gifting are more sophisticated… mostly.

Some of my picks are for kids, but they are also great “tick the parents off” gifts. I know, I’m that jerk. I only say this because some of the games or toys take up a lot of space or encourage kids to go off-roading with their remote-controlled trucks. Listen, it’s gonna be fine.

Whether you are looking for generally bad idea games or toys that are not for 8 and under, scroll down and check out my favorite Prime Day Big Deal picks.

Don’t forget these deals are available to Prime Members Only. If you’re not already a Prime Member, now is the best time. Right now, you can sign up for FREE for 30 days so you can take advantage of these awesome deals. I mean, hey, if that isn’t a sign I’m not sure what is! Anyway, happy shopping!

  • Dueling Double Light Saber –46% Off

  • Spinballs Glow.0 LED Poi Balls

    There was a guy on America’s Got Talent that used a version of these babies.

These balls would go over well at an outdoor party, but I’d practice at home first.

It is the greatest bubble machine I have seen yet.

  • Big Potato Chicken vs Hotdog: The Ultimate Challenge Party Game

    I included this game because… phallic symbols are funny.

I am DYING just looking at this game. Just the idea of whipping these two out at a party has me ROFL.
