4. Mayo Filled Donut

7. Bubble Wrap Under Rug
All you have to do is go to the store, buy a big roll of bubble wrap, and then carefully place it on the floor under a rug in your favorite room. You don't want anyone to see what you're doing! (We recommend using a rug that's really long and wide—the bigger the better.) When the time is right and you've waited until everyone's at home and relaxed, just do it: step on the rug.
They won't know what hit them.
