Fill her room with balloons. A fun and simple prank is to blow up a bunch of balloons and fill her room with them. Do this while she is at work or visiting a friend’s house. Ensure the balloons fill the room entirely. Shut the door after filling the room so she will be in for a delightful surprise when she opens her bedroom door.^{[1]

Wrap her belongings in tin foil. Tin foil is an inexpensive and easy way to prank your girlfriend. Wrap all items in her bedroom in tin foil. Cover items in her bathroom or living room with tin foil as well. Choose a room she frequently uses and make it more difficult for her to access items by using tin foil.
- If you have the time and energy, wrap her belongings in multiple layers of tin foil. This will make it more challenging for her to unwrap each item.
Make her shower nice and “toasty” by placing slices of toast in her shower. Position freshly toasted slices of bread in her bathtub, then wait for her reaction when she goes to take a shower or bath.

1
Give her a fake parking ticket. Use a real parking ticket as a template and modify it with her name. Make the ticket seem expensive. Include a note explaining what the ticket is for, making it believable, like when she ran a red light a few days ago.^{[3]

- You can either mail the ticket to her or pretend to find it in the mail and give it to her that way.
- Be sure to inform your girlfriend that the ticket is a prank and not real, especially if she seems very concerned. Say "April Fools!" and rip up the fake ticket.
Squeeze out her toothpaste and replace it with mayonnaise while she is sleeping or away for the day. Then, watch as she tries to brush her teeth with mayonnaise instead of toothpaste in the morning.
3
Make fake Oreos. Scrape off the cream in Oreos and replace it with toothpaste. Then, give your girlfriend a box of the fake Oreos and observe her reaction as she eats one.
- Be cautious that she does not eat too many of the fake Oreos, as consuming too much toothpaste can make her ill.
4
Send her a prank text message. When she texts you, respond with a message that says, “This number has been disconnected. Please contact your provider.” You can also reply with messages like “Who dis?” or “I don’t have this number in my contacts, sorry!”
- If your girlfriend seems confused by the message, follow up with a text that says "April Fools!" to clarify that you are joking.
5
Give her a glitter bomb. Glitter bombs can be made by filling an envelope with glitter. Surprise her with the envelope, showering her in glitter.
- Avoid throwing the glitter bomb at her, as this could cause injury.
6
Create a fake proposal. Place a ring pop in a ring box and wrap it with a bow. Then, present it to your girlfriend as a gift. Enjoy her reaction when she finds the ring pop instead of a real engagement ring.
- This prank can be quite intense and should only be done if your girlfriend has a great sense of humor. She might be upset with you for this kind of prank, so proceed at your own risk.
