Allotments 4 All

Thinking hats on please - I have offered to buy the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for our lottie show and have been given £20, £10 and £5 respectively.
I have been thinking of making up a hamper for the first prize and the prizes do not need to be gardening orientated [last year many of the winners did not want the fork and spade prize as they were not gardeners!!!]
Apart from the usual prizes of alcohol I would love some ideas that would please a wide range of winners.

Gift vouchers in these had pressed times. Once won a gift card for a local restaurant which I was most pleased with.

Good idea, except 5£ is maybe too little for that - maybe a confectionary hamper for that as they are pretty cheap in the UK?

It won't be a proper raffle without a presentation box of bath cubes and talcum powder with a big fluffy powder puff, that  were first won back in the sixties and have been re-donated every year.

I won two prizes in a tombola earlier this year- one was great- free tickets to Felly Priory gardens, the second was a set of three small make up/ glasses/ and powder case. It was second hand and not even clean!!! went straight in the bin but not complaining ???

Chockies...!!! ;D Have a look at Thorntons site..they've got some 'yummy offers' on.. ;)

Presentation basket of fresh fruit always goes down well. 

Get a good gardeninhg book from Wh Smiths, generally a good one in sale.

Maybe Amazon gift cards presented with a picked posy of flowers, then they can pick garden or non-garden related items. If the winners are not computer peeps you or folk can help them choose???

Look on Amazon at what they have on sale with free shipping, you may get some great bargains. XX |Jeannine

Just looked and found a microwaveable  plush animal  for easing sore necks on sale for 5.19 , very cute and useful  that was marked down about 75% also a bottle of Paris Hilton perfume marked dwon to about 1/3rd of it's usual price.

There are lots of the same, and no shipping charges, lost of bargains there so your winners would get much more than your alloted money woulkd normally get them.
