Hey. I have a friend I want to play a practical joke on. What are some odd safe for work and pet items that will just make them question how it got there.

Edit: Gosh darn it. I love you all. These are great.

I saw someone do this to a neighbour and i thought it was really funny and not harmful. If you can then take the photos they have already put up inside their homes and photoshop them. Make their forehead bigger than what it already is, make someone smaller of taller than they are and stuff like that. If possible you can insert yourself in one of the photos. Then take the photoshopped photo and put it in front of their own photos inside their frame. You could also write a message behind the manipulated photo.

Ah, a modified version of the old Step-Grandma gambit!

Ironically, I'm doing this at my other friend's house. Their wife is in on it.

Omg this is so funny, please let me know what happens and when they find out

It will happen gradually, the current issue is I don't have a printer.

You can get photo quality prints at CVS or Walgreens.

Get similar pictures to theirs but with a totally different family... Bonus points if the other family is a different race.
