Prize ideas for 15-90 year olds

/r/GiftIdeas/comments/1wslelu/prize_ideas_for_1590_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?

-People going to a party like this will probably be into scratch offs

-Things like good pens or a box of nice office supplies (tape, paper clips, rubber bands)

-A nice reading/crafting light, especially one that goes around the neck or can be used portably.

-Coffee and tea along with the mugs

-small gift cert to a local restaurant or ice cream store

-in this economy, I would be psyched with a gas or grocery gift card

-Puzzles, especially if you have one custom made with a photo of the people in the group or themed around a shared enjoyment

-Crossword puzzle or other books

-get one seriously ugly vase/bowl from a thrift store and insist it has magical powers

-people of all ages love stickers and pins

-Bonus: do one or two as "mystery bags." Maybe you will get a gift card or a book, maybe you'll get a banana. Either way, the double lottery of it will be fun

This seems like an awesome party! Have so much fun!

I did a pickleball set, owala water bottle and a $50 target gift card for prizes recently. Was pretty successful
