Surprise and Prank Popular Idea Rankings (21–30)
Bouquet presentation29rank/position
A bouquet presentation—practically a staple for farewell or send-off parties—is always a delight, isn’t it? It’s great to choose seasonal flowers that match the time of the event, and it’s also recommended to pick the guest of honor’s favorite flowers.
You don’t have to gather the flowers and make the bouquet yourself; if you go to a florist and share the image you have in mind or the flowers they like, they can put it together right away! Fresh flowers can be a bit of work to care for at home over the next few days, but with artificial bouquets or preserved flowers, you don’t have to worry about that.
Send them off in style with a bouquet that suits their image!
Infinite Shampoo30rank/position
Have you ever had shampoo suds that just wouldn’t rinse away no matter how much water you used? Here’s the idea: while someone is taking a shower, you quietly drizzle shampoo onto their head from above without them noticing.
The suds won’t disappear—they’ll keep foaming—so they keep rinsing, but then you add more shampoo on top.
It turns into an endless shampoo loop.
If you’ve got the perfect chance to stay hidden and pour shampoo from above, this is a prank I highly recommend.

A Song Gift for the Teacher31rank/position
https://www.tiktok.com/@omiyamichinoko/video/74827031916085281355If you’d like to give a gift to a teacher who has supported you, how about giving the gift of a song? You could sing a song you’ve performed together before, or choose—after discussing with everyone—a song that expresses your gratitude and present it as a surprise on the day.
The children’s earnest singing voices will convey a direct “We love you” and “Thank you” to the teacher.
Listening to the song, the teacher will rejoice in the children’s growth and, while recalling the time you’ve spent together, will surely be moved to the point of having their heart full.
Just woke up cracker32rank/position
Introduce a wake-up party popper prank for friends and family on their birthdays.
The method is super simple: sneak into the room where the birthday person is sleeping and wake them up with the sudden bang of a party popper.
If someone did this to me, I’d probably get really annoyed… so make sure you have a gift ready to smooth things over.
Since it could be hard on the heart, avoid targeting people who hate being startled; instead, pick someone with a great sense of humor and enjoy their funny reaction.
Presents equal to your age33rank/position
A surprise is only successful when it goes far beyond what the recipient imagines.
So, for a friend’s birthday, prepare as many gifts as their age.
They might anticipate getting a present, but they probably won’t imagine receiving that many.
Ask close friends, classmates, or club members to join in, have everyone bring a gift, and give them all at the same time—the surprise will be even bigger.
It’s even better if everyone coordinates beforehand to avoid duplicate gifts.
Give it a try and make your friend truly happy!
Album-style movie34rank/position
If you want to give graduates or teachers a heartfelt video, how about a movie in the style of a photo album? With each page you turn in the album within the video, memorable photos and heartwarming messages appear.
It will feel just like you’re looking through a real album.
Select plenty of wonderful photos—class scenes, school events, and the classroom where everyone spent time together—and put it all together.
They might also love receiving a physical album that’s identical to the one in the video.
A present in a coin locker35rank/position
When you’re trying to surprise a friend with a gift, walking around with a paper bag makes it pretty obvious and kind of ruins the surprise, right? It won’t be much of a surprise to begin with.
That’s where coin lockers come in handy! How about putting the present in a coin locker as a surprise? Then give your friend the key, make up a reason like “Could you grab my stuff?” and have them open it.
If you do a simple decoration inside the locker, it will feel even more surprising.
