Hellobee Boards

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.

Jewelry, unique home decor items

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!

"experience" items! once I won tickets to an Ellen taping!

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.

Chefs table at a restaurant is fun. 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.
