No, really – you can give someone custom laughs as a gift this holiday season and it’s only 99 cents.

The folks at Amidio, who created Touch DJ Evolution and Seline for iOS, have created Laugh Synth, which takes a sound sample and enables you to turn it into laughter. Settings range from the bizarre (Zombie) to the creepy (Red Beard) to the silly (T-Rex).
