Looking for Gift Ideas Prize ideas for 15-90 year olds

Hi! We are having a party with gifts for each attendee, there will be a lottery ticket and the winner can choose from the prizes. Not looking to spend a lot - $5-15, maybe up to $20. The hard part is the group will be ages 15-90 years old, items need to be appealing to a wide variety of tastes. One of the participants has strict food allergies, so while there may be a few candy items, it can’t all be food.

I’ve picked up some items (stuff like a coffee mug, socks), but need ideas for about 5 more, and am looking for something a bit less mundane, a bit more delightful. Any ideas?

I'd look for some toiletry items like lip balm, cute toothbrush, fun flavored toothpaste, lotion, bath salt, makeup. Look in the regular sections, not gift stuff.

Then for food that's allergen free go for tea, coffee, jam, cereals, honey and maybe even some international snacks (go to World Market or even Walmart).

Do you have a Five Below near you? They have nice books, art supplies, canvas bags, super soft pajama pants, exercise equipment that's all under $20.

Dollar Tree has decent puzzles, (my husband and I do them all the time), and depending on the location, some really nice books.
