THE GADGET CORNER: Gag gifts for the jokester in you Print E-mail

The Onion has some gift-giving satire you can really get your hands on. Well, sort of.

It's called a GotchaBox, a real box for a fake product. We call it the perfect gift for when you care enough to send the very least — or just need a funny box to hold the real gift inside.

Regardless, choose from the USB Toaster, the Make-Your-Own Umbrella Kit and the Salt of the Month Club. Each spoof box is covered with product shots and verbiage you'd expect from The Onion. Cases in point: The toaster comes with BreadBrowner 2.0; the salt-of-the-month club has a DVD with more than 300 salt-friendly recipes; and the DIY umbrella kit invites you to “share in the legacy of dryness.”

The empty laughs will cost some real dollars. GotchaBoxes are $7.99 each or $17.99 for a three-box set atstore.theonion.com.
