Bathroom book
These are a hilarious way to crack up your friends. A bathroom book is just meant to stay in the bathroom with a few pens or pencils. Your friends can just leave this in the bathroom and all their house guests can fill the book out when they go in for a little visit. After a few months, it’s a great gift to flick through!
Funny aprons
