Help! Cool ideas needed!!
 
And where else would i go for ideas?:drink:

I need help! Every year i donate a bunch of items to be given away as prizes at a charity golf tournament benefiting sick kids.
Every year i give the same things, a few TVs, digital cameras, some watches etc.

This year i want to give some very cool unusual items. So far i got a few wine lovers set . A 36 bottle cooler, a 20 piece kit with opener and accessories, Crystal glasses and some nice bottles of wine.
I also got a few nice espresso machines and a few Keg coolers.
I need some cool ideas.

Items need to be from about $100 to $1500
I could probably use about 20 more items.

What is cool and new that you would like to win?
I've been racking my brain for days.

Past couple of years we've offered up a whole days boat ride for 2, stopping at a few of the local powerboat stops along the way including a room for the night afterwards. Its put up for auction benifiting the make a wish foundation. The winners are grins ear to ear, all day long. How many people get to see what we see and feel? The value has to be in the $5-7 hundred dollar range? Just need a few boat owners willing to let a couple ride with them and show them around. We've set it up for all the winners to go on the same day and all the boats travel together like a fun run. Met some nice people. And it was a win for the kids and all involved.

Gino, what you need is one of those SkyMall catalogs that you have on jet flights. They always have unusual neat things in there.

the stuff I have noticed with the biggest "profit" are vacation stays, etc.

like a sandals vacation. cruise, hotel stays at nice hotels even if they are local to you.

Seems like at least half the people interested in say, an ipod, know what they cost so they only bid up to that amount. others bid higher but there is more competition on the vacation type stuff where there is little to no frame of reference. Plus... the hotel usually gives it for nothing or cheap anyway.

but this is for auction stuff, so take it FWIW.
