Default office prize giveaway

hey folks,

just looking for some ideas, hoping you can help out. Need an idea for a prize for an office giveaway. Price range I've got to work with is $50.

It can be pretty flexible (gift cards, activities, tickets, etc.)...I'm open to hearing any suggestions. Thanks in advance for the help.

If you're the boss, give the winner a paid day off. It's the best prize someone could ask for.

You could probably get a set of Flames tickets for a pre-season game. I wouldn't mind winning that.

The best thing my boss ever got me was a stripper for my 18th birthday. Damn near suffocated me with her goods.

It was amazing, so I would certainly suggest that.

...ha...if I was the boss I wouldn't chince out at $50. I'm just the boss-appointed office safety bitch (I mean rep.)

...anyways the prize is going to be a monthly thing (x2 actually, so $100 a month)...I'm just looking for some ideas.

4 bottles of pop and a bag of ice from Superstore liquor store.

(Sorry, I know I'm a new poster, but I've been lurking and laughing over that joke and couldn't resist)

A company windbreaker with a logo so huge that it can be seen from space. Everyone loves those.

The paid day off is wicked. But I guess that'd be more than your $50 limit.

I think the best way to appeal to everyone really is the $50 preloaded visa.

Paid day off is the best gift, but probably over your limit, so why not a half day off? Let someone leave at noon or something.
