Popular Surprise/Prank Ideas Ranking (61–70)
Surprise proposal64rank/position
This video lets you watch a surprise proposal from a first-person perspective as well.
You can see the adorable bride, eyes brimming with tears as she receives the ring, and the groom looking somewhat satisfied after both giving the ring and pulling off the surprise.
It’s one of those videos that makes you feel happy just by watching it.
scar makeup65rank/position
It looks like a painfully realistic wound… but surprise—it’s actually special effects makeup you can do with things you have at home! Around Halloween, you can find lots of products that make it look like you have a wound just by sticking them on, but you can create this realistic gash using just tissue, glue, and a few makeup items.
Start by placing small torn pieces of tissue on your skin, apply glue over them, then layer more tissue on top—repeat this to build the base of the wound.
After that, use makeup: blend with concealer to match your skin tone, then add color with eyeshadow, blush, and even acrylic paint, and you’re done.
You might even shock yourself with how painful it looks! (lol)
Candy Tower66rank/position
How about a candy tower as a birthday surprise? Stack colorful sweets to create a one-of-a-kind, special gift.
If you choose treats that perfectly match the person’s tastes, it’s sure to be a hit in both looks and flavor! It’s also fun to assemble together while everyone chats and laughs.
Another plus is that you can customize it freely to fit your budget and venue.
With the tower as the centerpiece, it’s sure to be a lively, unforgettable birthday party.
Just be careful—some places don’t allow outside food, so be sure to check in advance!
candy umbrella67rank/position
A surprise that’s gone viral on social media is the candy umbrella.
The idea is to decorate a clear vinyl umbrella by attaching candy bags to it and give it as a gift.
The charm is that when you open it, it creates a cute, girly vibe.
If the candy bags are too big, you won’t be able to close the umbrella, so adjust that part.
Also, decorating the edge of the umbrella with chenille stems (pipe cleaners) is recommended.
It gives a more fairy-tale-like impression.
Try finishing it in your favorite design.
Change the name68rank/position
@ryunarisa1115 I kept calling her my 'wife' over the phone, lol.She's way too cute.Cohabiting coupleRyuna Risa
♪ Original song – RyunaRisa CP – RyunaRisa
This is a prank where you pretend to be on the phone while the target is nearby and test their reaction when you refer to them in a way that’s different from usual during the conversation.
It only works if the other person realizes you’re talking about them, so choose a name that’s close to what you normally use or one that implies a change in your relationship.
If you make it seem like you need to check something in the conversation and then call out to the target, it naturally draws their gaze to you, which is recommended.
If they sense something off about the unusual way you addressed them and you can elicit a “What’s up?” or “Why did you say that?” then it’s a big success.
More importantly, there’s a full-on UFO flying!69rank/position
If you’re looking for an easy prank you can pull off with a smartphone app, I recommend the app “Never mind that—there’s totally a UFO.” When you launch it, it opens a camera screen so you can take photos.
The fun twist is that a UFO ends up appearing in the picture.
If you take photos at travel destinations with this app, you can prank people while sharing your memories.
Video letter70rank/position
A video letter that delivers your feelings to someone special through images.
As a surprise to liven up a party, it’s a heartwarming idea.
Gather words from family and friends who are far away, combine them with memorable photos and videos, and send a heartfelt message.
Because it’s crafted with care, your feelings will come through and are sure to move people to tears.
Everyone can look back on shared memories and spend a warm, meaningful time together.
Add this surprise to make your party even more enjoyable—give it a try!
