Let's be honest: most office awards are forgettable.

A generic certificate or a plastic "Employee of the Month" plaque doesn't exactly inspire laughter or lasting memories. But funny, personalized office awards? Those get talked about for years. Whether you're planning an end-of-year party, a team celebration, or just want to recognize your coworkers in the most memorable way possible — these funny office award ideas are guaranteed to land.

 Bonus: they make great gifts too.
