I used to have a big basket of things from supply, but I had to take a hard look at how much I was spending on "giveaways" and changed my ways. I now give a Season's Best to the host and the winner of the drawing, and a twixit clip to each person who helped with the recipe and/or brought a friend or outside order.

~Twixits to those bringing a guest or an outside order (the "guest" gets one too!)
~SB to the host (signed by everyone in attendance...they introduce themselves and describe the host in one word...I have them put that inside the SB, as well as anything else they want to write to the host)
~Small items for my door prize drawing (1 if there are 8 or less people, 2 drawings if there are more) like quikut knives, PC pens, scrapers, etc...less than a $2 item.
