Silent Auction Prize

[GrowCutMow]

Hi all,
I have been asked if I want to submit an item for a silent auction this weekend, (short notice, I know) any Ideas? I was thinking of offering a dollar amount in services but I don't want to get stuck traveling the other side of town for a free job every month. The other option I was thinking of would be to put together a pack of gardening products eg. Seasol, Gloves, Weedkiller, Small garden tools. The second option means the business won't be promoted as well, and I need to find the time to get all the supplies. What are your thoughts?

I got some vouchers off vista print that say this entitles you to a mow up to $60 in value and i donated them as prizes to 4 different schools and have not had a single one come back the schools made money selling tickets i got free advertising and picked up a few jobs from a couple of parents thinking it was great that i was supporting the schools.

I did vouchers for the local kinda 2 years in a row. $100.00 of my service to be used within 12 months. Got a little bit of repeat business out of it, but not that great. Next time I am going to purchase plants from the wholesaler, so effectively $50.00 for $100.00 retail value, so getting the same advertising out of it, at a cheaper rate. Both times the auction went for a higher value than the voucher.
