11. Candle in a jar

13. Balloon surprise
Surprise — you’ve been ballooned! While this idea seems super cute for a birthday surprise on your kid’s bedroom door, there seems to be a lot of effort put into this hoax.

Save yourself some time and tape balloon ribbon to the top of the door for a similar (and still fun) surprise.
