Get the Bin Chicken teeShop all funny tees →Finding a Kris Kringle gift under $50 doesn't have to be a headache. Go for something funny and wearable that matches the person you drew. A $32 tee leaves room in the budget, but remember to check delivery costs before paying. If you add a tee for yourself or use a discount, check the final shipping options at checkout rather than assuming two shirts automatically ship free.
Why choose a funny t-shirt for Kris Kringle?
A well-chosen slogan tee can feel more personal than another candle or box of chocolates. Whether you drew the office joker, the footy-mad mate or the uncle with serious “old mate energy”, start with their interests and sense of humour. Keep workplace gift exchanges light-hearted, and save political, religious or mental-health jokes for people you know will enjoy them.
Our top 10 Kris Kringle picks under $50 before delivery
1. For the pub lover: Frothies Over Coffees
Why settle for a latte when you can crack a cold one? For the mate who enjoys pub banter and a beer-themed joke.
2. For the Aussie slang lover: Old Mate
For the friendly neighbour, the office legend or the bloke who knows a guy for everything. A less personal option if your recipient enjoys Aussie slang.
3. For the politics tragic: The Mad Katter
For someone you know enjoys Aussie political humour and Bob Katter references. Political gifts are best kept for mates whose tastes you already know. Read more about Bob Katter.
4. For the Lions fan: the Three-Peat tee
For the Kris Kringle who bleeds maroon and loves a Brisbane Lions supporter tee.
5. For the 90s kid: Agro
Nostalgia alert. For someone who grew up on Agro's Cartoon Connection and loves a “remember when?” moment.
6. For the Freo fan: Purple Army
For the supporter who follows the Dockers through thick and thin, and wears purple to prove it.
7. For the overworked colleague: Low Battery 1%
For the busy parent or coffee-powered co-worker who is functioning. Technically.
8. For the self-aware mate: Undiagnosed but Something Ain't Right
For a close friend who already enjoys this kind of self-deprecating humour. Avoid guessing about a colleague's health or making the joke on their behalf.
Undiagnosed but Something Ain't Right T-Shirt
For someone who already appreciates the joke.

For the Aussie wildlife humour fan who thinks the ibis deserves more respect. A Christmas tee with a proper Australian twist.
10. For the stubborn legend: Functioning Purely Out of Spite
For the office survivor powering through on sheer determination. Bold, relatable and just the right amount of petty.

How do I pick the right shirt for my Kris Kringle?
Start with their interests, the jokes they already enjoy, and whether they'd actually wear the slogan. For someone you barely know, keep it friendly or let them choose a gift card. Check the size chart rather than guessing. For a footy tragic, our best AFL gifts guide helps you browse club ideas. For a close mate who already enjoys self-deprecating humour, explore our mental health tees, but let their own humour guide the choice.
