Help me spend 10-16k on raffle prizes!!

[FlamingoFloss]

I need your help please oh wise ladies of Mumsnet.

so every year I do a massive raffle at work. Think £10-16k worth of prizes depending on how many we sell. I usually have 80 prizes. What I need help with is what are the absolute must haves for this Christmas? Not kids toys although I do buy consoles and board games etc

thank you!!!

No, this is absolutely not typical in the corporate world.

Ive interviewed for public sector roles and I’d say the biggest differences are air con and half decent loos in the private sector 🤣

My experience of running raffles is that it pays to have one or two "wow" prizes rather than all the same.

I also think if you are doing vouchers you need to make clear that the voucher is as good as cash for the thing it covers and that it's large enough to cover the whole cost. (This is more in the context of a charity raffle with donated prizes but we get lots of local businesses who want to make a donation to be advertised as "£500 to spend at Bloggs Kitchens!" when actually it's £500 off when you spend £10k on a kitchen, which is misleading and not really a prize at all.)

Oh wow what fabulous prizes!
I’d also like to know how much the tickets are?
It does sound more like gambling than a normal raffle though if none of the money goes to charity?

Do you sell tickets outside your employer @FlamingoFloss? 😀

Surely the point still stands though.

If you work in a company where people can afford to blow £10k - £16k on raffle tickets then you inhabit a different world to those who work somewhere that cannot afford glue sticks.

Anyway my votes goes for a bottle Diptyque Orpheon perfume as it's divine but so stupidly expensive - £160 a bottle!!

I'd be delighted to win that in a raffle (although I doubt I'd be able to afford the tickets!!)

It’s £1 per ticket so not expensive at all ;)

£1 a ticket?!! Now I’m even more intrigued.
Is it a massive company or do people tend to buy a lot of tickets?
