You can set Hot Corners to start the screen saver and/or put the display to sleep when you put the cursor in the selected corner (System Prefs>Exposé & Spaces>Exposé. It’s under Active Screen Corners).

Lol at this question. I hope you are asking this because you'll be buying birthday presents or planning a surprise party for someone, and not for some other reason.
Anyway, you can also use ^ arrows or ^ #'s to switch spaces.

You can hide an application by pressing Command-H, or you can assign a corner of your screen to go to the screensaver if the mouse pointer gets near it.
