When Did This Become Normal? book wrapped as a gift for International Men's Day

Why it works

The funny gift that actually gets read.

Relatable, not niche

You don't need to be into a specific hobby to enjoy it. If you've ever argued with a parking app, you'll get it.

Easy to dip in and out

Short, punchy observations make it perfect for bedside tables, commutes and coffee breaks.

Looks great on a shelf

The bold cover design stands out. It's a gift that looks considered before they've even opened it.

Who to buy it for

Funny gifts for every kind of man.

For your dad

The man who taught you how to park, how to barbecue and how to tut at a QR code menu. This book gives him permission to say out loud what he's already thinking.

For your husband

He has strong opinions about self service tills, tip screens and why the fridge needs Wi Fi. Now there's a whole book that agrees with him.

For your boyfriend

A funny, relatable read that won't sit unread on the shelf. Something he can dip into, read aloud and nod at while muttering, 'exactly.'

For your brother

The ideal stocking filler or birthday gift for a brother who thinks modern life is quietly losing the plot. Short chapters. Big laughs.

For a mate

The kind of book you buy for a friend and end up borrowing back. Perfect for Secret Santa, a leaving do, or just because they need a laugh.

For a colleague

Meetings about meetings. Emails about emails. The shared madness of office life. This is the desk gift that gets passed around at lunch.
