So I need your help ladies...

I am on the committee for a silent auction to help raise funds for my adoption agency. If you were at a silent auction what kind of things would you want to bid on? Last year we had over 200 items donated and we want to get more but I am trying to think of some places to contact.

I contacted Sony and Canon to see if they will donate a Camera or a Video Camera also contacted a Erg* Baby Carriers, and a couple of food places.
What would you want to see there? It doesn't have to be baby related either.

Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hmmm, all electroncis like Ipod, MP3 player, Ipod accessories, fleece blankets, wall hangings, pictures of some sort, gift certificates to restaurants, grocery store, gas. Furniture, recliner, chair, computer desk, hats, t shirts, frisbees, large bags of pet food, certificate for car wash, lamps, scrapbooking supplies, team sport stuff, basketball, baseball, pillows. That's all I can think of right now.

I'm not an adoptive mom, just looking around and saw this post. When I was in school autographed pictures of celebrities sold well. There were also different themed gift baskets that brought in a lot of money, like movie basket, gardening basket, bath time stuff etc. Good luck!
