Raffle basket ideas

I need to make a basket to be raffled off at an event. It can be whatever I want.

Any ideas? Not looking to spend a ton of money on it. I have to collect money from a team for this and I don't want to ask for anymore than $9 per person less if possible ( I feel like we have been asking for money constantly for stuff). There is only 9 people on the team total

I was just at a fundraiser and the baskets that had the most tickets in them were

-Wine bottles and $50 GC to local restaurant

-popular kids toys basket (doc mcstuffins, my little pony, etc)

-a picture frame with a bunch of scratch offs (about $50 worth)

-skinnytaste cook book w/an apron and Measuring cups

- Christmas stuff (table cloth, cookie tins, etc and a $25 Christmas tree shop GC



The actual live auction , things went for $150 or more and were worth at least that. Game tickets, overnight at oheka

Sounds like you are expecting to spend around $50?!?

-Movie baskets are always fun. You can do a gift card towards movies (any movie theater or amazon, netflix, red box, etc.) and then fill it in with lots of different candies and popcorns.

-People always love the "italian dinner" baskets. You can fill it with dried pastas, canned jars of tomato sauce or pesto sauce. olive tapenade, italian breadsticks, italian seasoning, you can even throw in an italian cookbook, they always have them for cheap at barnes and nobles clearance.

-Pampering at home basket- set of nail clippers, tweezers, nail polish, body lotion, things like that.

-my personal favorite: school/office supplies baskets. Pens, pencils, notepads, stationary, post it notes, stickers, paper clips, whatever.

-fancy breakfast tea basket: various teas, boxed/bagged mixtures for like muffins or scones or something like that, jams and jellies, a mug or teacup or travel jug

-pet basket. I dont have a pet so I don't know but people love pets and pet related baskets.

-chocolate lovers basket: anything and everything chocolate. chocolate candies, hot chocolate mix, chocolate related cookbooks, etc.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

I did a family game night basket for a raffle with a bunch of different games and candy, popcorn. IT was really cute.
