Who says holiday gifts have to be serious? This year, surprise everyone on your list with these wacky and tacky gifts.

Festified
These bold (and, yes, tacky!) sweaters make everything seem merry and bright. Offering obnoxious, cheesy and just plain fun sweaters for men, women, kids and dogs, with striped scarves to complete the look, there are even ugly NFL sweaters. Scarves starting at $12.99, festified.com.

Beardski
Looking for a cool gift? The Beardski is best thing to come out of the Gen X’s’ edgy style. These warm masks have two functions: to keep you warm when it’s cold outside and to make you look like the coolest person ever for having the confidence to wear it. $34.95-$39.95, beardski.com.

Gooey Louie
Pick a winner with Gooey Louie. Who “nose” what you’ll find when you dig in. Watch out… if you pick the wrong gooey, Louie’s eyes will pop, he’ll flip his lid, and his brain will fly out. This game provides hours of outrageous fun. $24.99, gooeylouiegame.com.

Give Diddly
For ages 3-103, Diddly is the game where having less is better, but Diddly is best. On your turn, draw a card to replace a card. Match cards to make them worth Diddly. Special cards let you peek at your face-down cards, dig through the discard pile, swap your cards or halve the value of a card. $7.99, www.endlessgames.com.

Doggie Doo
Feed and walk your little pup; if he makes a mess, you clean it up. When you squeeze his leash, he makes a gassy sound that gets louder and louder until Doggie does what doggies do. The first to clean up after the dog three times wins. $24.99, www.doggiedoogame.com.
