How to Make a Gift Basket Full of Prank Products
Gift baskets are a good way to tie several small items together into one large gift. Typically, gift baskets are based around a core theme, such as movie night or baby supplies. A prank gift basket is a basket full of prank items. You can either fill the basket with items to prank others, such as whoopie cushions and trick gum, or you can fill the basket with items designed to prank the gift recipient, such as a fake winning lottery ticket or a really terrible CD. This kind of gift basket is best for someone you know really well, who will enjoy the joke, rather than becoming offended or hurt.

Place a layer of filler material in the bottom of the basket. Make the layer thicker or thinner depending on the height of the objects that you will place in the basket. If you have enough items to completely fill the basket, then use a thin layer. With fewer items or smaller items, use more filler in the bottom.

Choose prank items of various sizes and topics to fill the basket. You can use prank items based on the person's interest or the occasion. For a person's 50th birthday, you could fill the basket with over-the-hill items, such as adult diapers, denture paste and a walking stick. For a Christmas-themed basket, you could put in snowman poop, coal and gross flavored candy.

Arrange the items with the tallest in the back and smaller items in the front of the basket. You can also arrange the items in a spiral pattern with the largest items in the middle and the smaller items around the outside edges of the basket. This will prevent there from being a 'front' end to the basket.

Fill in any gaps with additional filler material. If necessary, glue the items inside the basket so that they do not shift. This is more important if you mail the basket.

5
Wrap the entire basket with cellophane or tissue paper to hold everything in the basket. Hold the cellophane in place with ribbon or a large bow.
