We go to a lot of animal oriented fundraisers and they usually have dog items we bid on. I've also bid on a nice Herman miller lounge chair before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1050551 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:44:59 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1050551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies, all great ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047715 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:00:28 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1047715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best thing that I've won was a private wine tasting package for 15 friends at a local vineyard at a charity auction. I tend to like GCs for restaurants or activities the best. I like the idea of themed baskets, but usually half the stuff ends up tossed in a drawer or in the back of a closet somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047699 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:53:12 +0000 MediaNaranja 1047699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Date night/girls night package with a restaurant certificate, tickets to some event, and a goody basket with things that go along with the "theme" of the event....so, if it were girls night, maybe some chocolates, face masks, etc. That's a bad example but all I can think of at the moment :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047650 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:39:03 +0000 Ginabean3 1047650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"experience" items! once I won tickets to an Ellen taping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047641 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:36:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1047641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Art from local artists! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047640 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:36:17 +0000 yoursilverlining 1047640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to bid on restaurant certificates and spa certificates the most. Also, "activity packages": sail boat cruises, whale watching, rental cabins, trips, sports tickets, winery tours, zoo tickets (with a behind the scenes tour or something special), etc. </p> <p>Jewelry, unique home decor items</p> <p>Private dinners with a local Chef always seem to be big hits, too! Also, if your town has an annual Christmas/Holiday tree lighting ceremony, see if you can get permission to auction off the right to "flip the switch" and turn the tree on. We go to one charity event yearly that does that and that is surprisingly popular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-silent-auction-items#post-1047617 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:25:11 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1047617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm helping out with a couple of silent auctions this year and need ideas for fun and unique items/services that will help raise some money for our charities!</p> <p>I'm always a fan of sports tickets, dining gift certificates and wine. One event we went to had custom corn-hole boards too and it was super popular. What types of things would you like to bid on? </p>
