Emotional surprise ideas that will excite everyone at the company (11–20)
Sketchbook Relay
Here’s a surprise idea for a sketchbook relay for a coworker who’s getting married.
It’s a short-movie-style story where people pass along a bouquet and a sketchbook, writing messages in relay form.
A sketchbook filled with messages makes a delightful gift.
A card that lets you send video messages
Moovin is a card that lets you send an original video.
After purchasing the card, scan the QR code and use the app to record a video or select photos to create a personalized message video.
The recipient can watch the video without needing the app.
It’s a surprise card that can also be used for company farewell and welcome parties, and similar occasions.
A surprise with a mask of the person themself
For a coworker’s birthday, everyone in the office wears a mask of that person as a surprise.
Just enlarge and print a photo of their face, glue it onto cardboard or thick paper, and you’re done.
When they arrive at work, it’s like everyone is them!? It’s a surprise that brings both shock and the feeling of being valued as a member of the team.
Handmade candy bag
As a surprise gift idea for a farewell party, we’re handcrafting a backpack and a water bottle by combining packs of snacks.
Since a variety of treats are arranged to create them, the recipients’ surprised and delighted expressions leave a lasting impression.
Swimmer Dance
Here’s a surprise idea for a swimmer-themed dance at a retirement party.
The male members of the workplace will perform a dance dressed as swimmers.
Partway through, additional members from within the venue will unexpectedly join in.
The unsuspecting audience will be surprised by the sudden twist and get really excited.
flash mob
A flash mob is a guerrilla performance where a large group suddenly starts dancing in a public place! In recent years, videos of flash mobs at proposals and weddings have been posted on social media and become a hot topic.
It might be difficult to surprise a teacher in a public space, but if you suddenly start one while everyone is playing around in the schoolyard after the graduation ceremony or mingling at the thank-you party, the teacher will surely be wide-eyed with surprise.
With flash mobs, even a little bit of shyness can kill the mood, so make sure to give it your all!
