I have also done these things:
Given away the key ingredients for the recipe I demo at the show, if they purchase the main product I used in my demo (usually a stone, the trifle, etc). If I have more than one person purchase it, I have a raffle but either way both or three people win a prize.
I have also made homemade goodies:
Cake from the fluted pan to take home.
Homemade chocolate bars with my Wilton molds. They say Thank you on them and I bought some candy bar boxes with a window to display the "Thank you" message.
I have also made floral cupcakes in a cute tin with a ribbon.

Are you referring to my show? Not sure if you were talking about me or someone else's show- but that's a great name for my shows I host- Mystery Host show. Is that what it's called? That way you never know who's going to get host benefits.
My biggest problem with giving out host prizes was trying to determine what they would get- because if I'd had a crappy turn-out, I was nervous I wouldn't sell enough- I hoped I'd have enough for at least a $200 show, but you never know. Anyhow, I ended up selling $500. Better than I expected. So I gave away my half price and free hostess gift, and I took $10 off someone's order, but I lucked out and got free product in the end.
