A basket filled with Harry Potter "stuff" is another idea .. since he's kinda a hot topic amongst the kids these days.. ie.. legos, books, every flavor jelly beans, wizard hat ..etc Good luck. We are also doing an auction

We're also in the process of organizing our Spring Carnival, and I've suggested the following themes for our raffle baskets: Teacher Supplies; Coffees; Teas; Legos; Powerpuff Girls; Wheel-It (Hot Wheels stuff); Pokemon/Digimon/Dragonball Z; Sweet Temptations (chocolates, etc.); Let's Jam (radio,CDs,cassette player, etc.); GI Joe; slumber Party; Just Girls (nail polishes, diary, etc.); Barbie; Disney/WB/Nick; What a Doll (not Barbie); Explore It (binoculars & outdoorsy); Sports for Kids; Sports for Adults; Imagination Station (art supplies, bead making kits, etc.); Family Games; Ship & Shore (raft, beach toys, towel, etc.); Model & Mold It (tinker toys, models, construction kits); baby shower; kitchen gadgets; tools; Cooking (cookbook, gadgets, etc.); First Aid Kit; Travel Games; Music (variety of CD's); A Night at the Movies (Blockbuster certificate, popcorn, movie theater tickets, videos, etc.); Computer Games.

We have a Spring Carnival every year and we have the third, fourth and fifth grade classes donate items for theme baskets. We then sell tickets for the raffle of each basket! These are a big hit but I need some ideas for new themes. In the past we have done candles, relaxation, baseball, summer fun (beach items), chocolate, sports, kitchen gadgets, angels, Winnie The Pooh, School Supplies, ----anyone out there who does the same thing I would love to hear some of your themes!
