You know the one. They asked AI to plan their holiday, write their wedding speech and settle an argument about whether a hot dog counts as a sandwich. They start sentences with "So I asked the AI..." and, honestly, they seem very happy about it.
Buying a Christmas present for someone like that can feel tricky. Gadgets go out of date by February. Books about the future of technology go straight on the shelf. What they actually want is something that shows you get the joke (and that you have been listening, even when it was the fourth time they explained prompts to you).
So here is our guide to funny gifts for someone obsessed with AI. Everything is printed to order, starts at £12.99 and comes with UK delivery.
How to pick the right one
- A mug if they use it every day (most of them do, usually before breakfast).
- A t-shirt if they love to talk about it and want everyone at the pub to know.
- A print if they work from home and their desk needs a bit of personality.
Mugs for the person who prompts before coffee
Don't Talk to Me Before My First Prompt Mug (£12.99)
For the one who opens a chat window before they open the curtains. Printed on both sides, so the message lands whichever hand they hold it in. See the Don't Talk to Me Before My First Prompt Mug.
Eat, Sleep, Prompt, Repeat Mug (£12.99)
Their whole daily routine, summed up in four words. Dishwasher safe, which is handy, because this one will get used a lot. See the Eat, Sleep, Prompt, Repeat Mug.
How Do You Know If Someone Uses AI? Mug (from £12.99)
The joke writes itself: don't worry, they'll tell you. A gentle wind-up that they will secretly love. See the How Do You Know If Someone Uses AI? Mug.
T-shirts for the one who brings it up at every dinner

They're not wrong, and this tee admits it. Perfect for a partner, or for a friend whose other half has had enough. See the My Partner Says I Talk More With AI Than Them T-Shirt.

Prints for the home office

And one for when you have heard enough
Gifted By Someone Who's Heard Enough About AI Mug (from £12.99)
Lovingly passive aggressive. It says exactly what the gift giver is thinking, and they will still use it every morning. See the Gifted By Someone Who's Heard Enough About AI Mug.
Getting it there in time for Christmas
Everything is printed to order, usually within 5 to 10 working days, so we recommend ordering by Wednesday 9 December for UK delivery before Christmas. Delivery is free on orders over £50, which works out nicely if you are buying for more than one AI fan (most of us know at least three).

Happy shopping. And if they ask AI what you got them, it definitely won't know.
