Sometimes subtlety works well.

There are little plastic cows (the kind that restaurants use to indicate how a steak was cooked) all over my office. Everytime my boss and I turn around one of us has stuck a cow in a cleverly hidden place in each other's office. Sometimes it can take longer than a week to find one. I didn't notice the 6 cows stuck into the ceiling tile above my desk for about 4 days. He still hasn't seen the cow sitting in the driver's seat of the model vehicle on his desk.

I got that idea from a time when I worked at Canadian Tire. My boss always had a garden gnome mysteriously show up in the area where he was working. For months that same gnome would show up in his office, the aisle he was merchandising, the garden center that he was setting up, in his locked locker, on the bathroom sink after he came out of the stall... and on and on and on. Even when he was going away, at his going away bash at the bar, a present 'mysteriously' showed up on the table and low and behold, it was that same garden gnome.
