Greetings! I need help with an important 80th birthday! He is a prankster, so a (fun!) prank, something spectacular would be ideal. Can you help?!

From gifting expert Samantha Schoech:
Oh, this is a good one; I love a gift with a sense of humor. Since a lot of people in their 80s aren’t looking to accumulate more stuff, my first thought is a birthday greeting from Cameo. You can choose from thousands of famous (and formerly famous) personalities—from TV, film, sports, music, comedy, and more—who will record a video just for him. A shout-out from Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson could make his day. Or maybe Arlo Guthrie is more his speed?
Another idea: What if a group of loved ones gave him photo pillows of themselves? That way, he is forever surrounded by a funny reminder of his nearest and dearest. Or you could do this with socks—a different friend for his feet every day of the week. And lastly, this funny little lazy duck lamp is a totem for anyone having a day where they just can’t. Good luck, and happy birthday to your person!
