Need some ideas for a raffle - “self care”

[whiteraven]

I am volunteering for a local adoption program/rescue, and we are having a fundraising event/dinner in October. I created the flyer, and now I am putting together some raffle baskets to donate to the event.

One of the baskets is for self-care. I have my own ideas for what to include, but I thought I'd see what *you* would want to receive in a self-care basket.

Definitely a good moisturiser for my hands and feet. Instant feel good.

I would be tickled to find any of the following in a self-care basket (they are so much fun to create!!!):

(Based on my personal needs and preferences, I would be sure to offer unscented products, because you never know who may be allergic/sensitive to typical fragrances - and food offerings be at places that offer allergen-friendly and vegan options just in case they need those choices for the health of it)

• Magnesium flakes and/or epsom salts - or the body spray equivalent
• Eye mask - the kind that curves over the nose and has blinking room
• Lip Balm - made by local artisan(s)
• Candles - unscented or the flameless variety
• A simple foot soaking tub of some variety - make that the basket and add the epsom salt/magnesium flakes, a super soft towel, super soft fuzzy socks, a peppermint foot rub (made by local artisan), a pumice stone, etc.
• Herbal teas, like peppermint, tulsi, nettle, or ginger and a cup with a funny or kind saying/graphic/etc. - if you get loose teas rather than bags, include a french press, maybe a frother thingy, some turmeric, honey, plant-based mylk - in case of dairy allergies, etc.
• A dammit doll - they are so much fun to relieve stress with - or a stress ball, a fidget toy, a curse word coloring book with fine tipped non bleed-through markers and/or colored pencils
• A gratitude journal and/or affirmation book/deck and/or smart ass book/deck of some sort
• Hot/cold therapy pack(s) of different sizes and varieties
• Gift certificate(s) to local food spots and/or grocery markets that offer online pick-up and/or farmers' markets, and/or a florist or gardening shop

My brain could keep going, but I'll chill for now. lol Have lots of fun creating! Eager to hear what you choose to offer. :) Best wishes in raising lots of funds.

A fidget toy. And new socks. And a trip to someplace new. And a cat.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I have to admit, I am having sooo much fun picking out things for these. I will post a list later of the things I chose!

Oh, great idea!

I definitely need to include this!

A dammit doll

LOL. This is one thing I hadn't thought about. I got one for a friend of mine years ago - I'm going to have to look around and see if I can find one!

Hope it’s a great success and that you raise lots of funds

Thanks for all the great ideas! I will take a look at the book; I am definitely looking to include a little book, as well!

A fidget toy.

I have been looking at these. Can't decide between a fidget toy and a stress ball.
