Follow up with a letter explaining the "mistake". Bonus points if you get said female relative in on it too.

Using this as fuel, we bought one of those Halloween hands that grows in water. After cutting a finger off of the novelty hand, we soaked it for a day in ketchup, placed it in a ziplock bag, and shipped it. It was intended just to be a little bit gross. However, by the time he received it, it had....well....warmed up more than a bit. It was rotten, red and purple, bloated, and still had the finger shape. It stunk like death itself, and prompted a rather concerned phone call from Jeff. He was very concerned that she had mailed it to him. After that, we would send him "lady finger" cookies (actually made to resemble ladies fingers, with almond slices for fingernails) in his care packages. Good times.
