I always like the Scratch off/Lotto basket.

I donated a gym basket to a fundraiser once. It had a 3 month membership (donated) a gym bag and shirt.

Re: Raffle Basket Theme IDEAS please :)

you can do a girly theme- like princess- and do a tiara, a tutu and some hair bows.. maybe a wand?

Then do a boy one, maybe with race cars, a dress up set- or a pirate basket? with sword, pirate outfit, etc?

or a BBQ basket w/ tools, sauces, a cookbook?

picnic?

I made a basket called "Garden of Gift Cards." I got a ton of GC from Dunkin Donuts, Panera, Barnes and Noble etc.- total value of all cards between $200 - $250 and set up the basket like a little garden and put each card on a fake flower. It looked great and people loved it!

I also have done a restaurant basket where I got gift cards donated from a bunch of local restaurants, delis, ice cream shop etc.

Good luck!

There are always calendar raffle baskets at our fundraisers. January is usually champagnes and wines with flutes, February something related to v-day, March for St. Patrick's Day, etc. so a theme for each month.

At my old job, they donated a basket for a fundraiser with a pet theme....it included a box of dog treats, a couple of chew toys, ceramic water and food dish, and a gift certificate to one of those self-serve dog wash places. I thought it was a unique and cute idea.

Or how about a Coffee Lovers theme (gift card to DD or Starbucks, thermal travel mug, coffee mug)

Re: Raffle Basket Theme IDEAS please :)

we just did this for our daycare's annual charity auction. each room made a basket and had a different theme.

our infant room made a Cupcake themed basket. had a cupcake tree, giant cupcake pan, decorating kit, cupcake recipe book, cupcake-themed Jello mold, gift certificates to some of the local cupcake bakeries, a cupcake themed apron, and some other stuff too.

hasn't be auctioned off yet, but we hope it will bring in a ton. Chat Icon

our office put one together to raise money for breast cancer once , it was an all "pink" basket, so we put everything pink in there like a water bottle, towel, etc and some of the money raised went to charity.
