The Rick Roll, where you trick someone into watching Rick Astley’s music video for “Never Gonna Give You Up,” is a classic option here. You could just send a really funny or risqué gif or YouTube video. Don’t send her anything with a super obvious URL.
Candles that start off smelling like apple pie or lavender, but slowly transition to smell like rotten fruit or old cheese. A framed photo of a dog wearing a bowtie. This is an especially good option if neither of you own a dog. A joke book, like Fifty Shades of Chicken (a cookbook based on “sexy” chicken recipes), or How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety (an actual book about teaching kittens how to handle firearms).
You could send her a small box with a flash drive in it. What’s on the flash drive? A folder labelled “hot girls. ” When she clicks on it, all she’ll find is a single photo of her. Cute, right? It’s a little on the riskier side so far as pranking a girlfriend goes, but the glitter bomb is a classic. You can ship a package that shoots glitter everywhere when it’s opened. It’s a pain to clean up, but she might find it funny! Just ship her an empty box. You could even put a handwritten note at the bottom of the box that just says, “Gotcha!” If you want to just go random with it, you could put a tiny garden gnome or a decorative fedora in the box. Why wouldn’t you want her to open a package like this? Totally up to you!
Alternatively, you could even search for tattoos of her name online. If she goes by “Sarah” just search for “I love Sarah tattoo” or “Sarah tattoo” and send her that.
How long you keep this one up is totally up to you. If you want to keep it going, just say, “Oh, I decided today wasn’t the best day. Tomorrow!”
“I need your help. Quick, can you let me know how much it is to fly to Russia. Need info ASAP. ” “There’s a man at my door dressed as Pikachu. He won’t leave. What should I do?” “This is very time sensitive, and I need your help. How do you get egg out of carpet?” You could send her a photo of a possum and send it to her with the caption, “This really weird cat just showed up in my driveway. I gave it a treat, but now it won’t go away. ”

“I’m actually not that fond of cheesecake. I apologize for leading you on all this time. ” “I’ve never actually been to Wisconsin. I’m sorry I’ve been so dishonest with you. ” “I cheated on you…with this pizza I just ate. Seriously, it was so delicious I’m in love. ”
Prankdial is the original option here. They give you 3 free calls. You can even choose which number the call comes from to match her area code. Comedy Calls has some super goofy options. It will make it seem like the prank call isn’t going through after you hit enter (they want you to buy special calls), but it will work! Spoofbox has some extremely fun options. You do have to sign up for a free account or download an app for it to work, though.
You could have them pretend to be a neighbor calling to ask for toilet paper, or an “old friend” who is 100% convinced they’ve known your girlfriend for years. Don’t have anyone pretend to be a police officer, doctor, or anything like that. It’s usually illegal, and it’s just going to scare her. Don’t have a friend call her with your phone and tell her that you’re dead or something bad happened to you. This could scare her and make her worried.
