Someone's leaving the office. Everyone signs a card, someone buys a mediocre supermarket cake, the speech is awkward, and by next Thursday nobody remembers any of it. Here's a better approach — leaving do pranks that actually get talked about for years.
The Desk Farewell Package
On their last day in the office, arrange for a stink bomb delivery to be waiting at their desk when they arrive. It should look like a going-away gift from the team. Discreet packaging, professional appearance. They open it in front of everyone during the farewell gathering. The whole floor experiences the consequences together. Nobody forgets a leaving do that ended with the fire alarm briefly being considered.
The New Job Housewarming Prank
If you know where they're starting their new job, time a delivery for their first week. Address it to their new workplace. It arrives when they're still trying to make a good impression on their new colleagues. Include a card from "your old team" wishing them luck. The lingering smell will ensure their new colleagues ask about their previous workplace for months.
The Group Collection Prank
Instead of the standard whip-round for a voucher nobody will use, pool the collection money for the Nuclear Stink Bomb (€58). It costs about the same as a mediocre gift card and produces a genuinely unforgettable experience. Add a team photo as the card image and write a personalised message from the whole group. Split between 10 or 15 people, it costs almost nothing per person.
The Remote Colleague Send-Off
With remote and hybrid work, leaving parties are often just a Teams call. But you can still make the departure memorable. Order a stink bomb delivery to their home address, timed to arrive during or just before the virtual leaving party. Ask them to open the "team gift" on camera. The reaction is real-time, everyone gets to watch, and the memory is preserved in the Teams recording for company lore purposes.
The Phased Goodbye (Long Game)
Start the week before their last day. Day one: a normal card arrives at the office, signed "from someone who will miss you." Day three: the Stink Bomb (€26). Day five, their actual last day: the Nuclear Stink Bomb (€58). The escalating structure makes it an event rather than a moment, and gives the whole office something to talk about all week.
What About the Manager?
Sometimes the person leaving is the manager. This changes the dynamic entirely — you're no longer constrained by workplace hierarchy. A manager leaving is the one window in which a stink bomb delivery is not just acceptable but practically expected. Order the most extreme package available. They're leaving anyway. What are they going to do?
Send them off in style.
