Need gift/favor/prize ideas!

I am in a monthly Bunko group and am hosting in October. Hostesses provide prizes as well as munchies. The prize guideline is 5 prizes worth $20, $15, $10, $10, and $5... a lot of people go over that though. Prizes vary from cash/gift cards to kitchenware to decorator items. I am thinking that this time I want to sew some goodies. I would love your ideas/suggestions. Ideas can also include a purchased item along with a homemade item.

To get a general idea of the make-up of the group - we are all in our 30's-early 40's, all have children (except 1 new girl), most are SAHMs, a big range of dress/decorating styles but mostly leaning towards conservative/preppy/Ethan Allen.

Some ideas I have so far:
Tote bag
small purse


Thank you!

I think that's a great idea!!

A totebag or purse would be very well received.

A few other ideas -

A neck cozy (sew a little u shape and fill with flax seed and a little lavendar oil... Nuke it and enjoy)

Aprons (cool vintage type prints)

A jewelry/makeup rollup

Mini tissue covers to carry in your purse

Little trashbag for the car (with velcro or snap strap)

Fabric Bowls

That's all I can think of offhand! Good Luck!!!
