    Need recommendations on a $200 gift to give away in a contest

    We've got an office party tomorrow. There will be a bunch of gifts exchanged, but there are some employee contests in which the winner wins a prize. Needs to be worth about $200. I'm out of ideas. Since it's all remote I don't need the actual thing since time is short. I can just show the image of what they've won.

    Ideas? Give your best thoughts.

    Things I'm considering:

    Apple watch Series 3
    Two high end super light camp chairs
    Gopro Hero 7
    Kindle Paperwhite and gift certificate for books

    Things that likely won't work:
    76 pounds of bacon
    A dozen powder skirts
    The red ones
    Rontele's email address

    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    What's the vibe in the office? You could do a nice bottle of wine, or would an 8-ball be more appropriate?
    Everybody's gotta have parkas. I'm talking custom parkas. Two words: "client development." They see all of you out there cutting the powder in your matching Schweikart & Cokely parkas, you'll make an impression. You will thank me later.

    Amazon Gift Card - then they can get whatever they want?

    Or electronics deals out there- some of which not everyone may want or have a use for?? (Smart Watch, and other stuff you mentioned)

    Or a gasoline gift card- pay for their fuel for a month or more depending on what they drive and all...

    If all are in your town or city, what about a small business that everyone would be interested in restaurant or something again for a gift card that does also support a local company that maybe struggling in these times also.

    These are what I would normally do, but it's supposed to be an actual thing.

    Huh. That might be pretty good given the crowd I'm dealing with.

    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    I like where you're going with this. How, about something a little noisier?

    The possibilities with 55 gallons of lube are endless but maybe start with something smaller than a guitar.
