Raffle prize ideas

We're planning our annual event at work and I'm drawing a blank for raffle prizes. Anyone have any good ideas for some cool things people would want to buy raffle tickets for?

Re: Raffle prize ideas

Depends on the size of your raffle but here are some items we have done at my previous jobs in the past to bring people to buy those raffle.

- Round trip ticket airline ticket (domestic) for 2 people
- DVD
- GPS
- Small (17"-19") LCD TV
- day at the spay for 2 people
- Hotel night in NYC for 2 people
- GCs to restaurants, various denomination ($15 (like Starbucks) to $100 (like Ruthchris steakhouse))
- At work, 1 paid day off


We even broke it down into 2 raffles sometimes. More expense like $10 for the big items and $5 for the small prizes.

We even had local vendors to give the prizes (hotels, etc...)
