What about a gc to a coffee shop and a basket of baked goodies?
Prizes Fail??

First off, so sorry to hear about your troubles 
I know how those unexpected little boogers can be on a budget That being said....heck yeah I'd be happy with the gift card or scratcher, heck I'd b happy with just the cup or the candy bar...I think everyone will be happy with whatever you give them so don't stress over it.

Thanks PMTT, I'm not really a baker
Thanks pumpkinpie, I'm like that too. I would be like 'woohoo" I won something!! I wished I wouldn't stress but I worry about every little thing...I've already had the reoccurring nightmare dream where people are showing up for the party and NOTHING is ready! lol

ew that sucks OMM, its always like this for me too, something comes up to drain the funds for something else. I would be happy with even a $5 gc or scratchoff but then again, I know how crafty you are, you could always make something as a prize instead. If your guests are all friends then they should understand that just attending the party is the best part, getting kewl handmade prizes should be secondary. Dont stress too much about it
Those are still good prizes!! I have to run out today to WalMart to get my last prize which is an oversized Rice Crispy Treat which will also come with a tiny bottle of liquor and a Pez dispenser.
I have a Starbucks prize package as well. It's a mug I got on sale for $3, a $5 gift card, Caramel Brulee Balls, Chocolate covered almonds and a tiny bottle of liquor. And my other prize is one I mostly got for free from work. I work in a gym and we have all these little things with the gym logo on them, so it's an Anytime Fitness package! It comes with a mini backpack, stress ball, coozie, fit magazine, PowerBars, and a mini bottle of liquor.
I always get stuff way in advance and space it out, but I think your ideas are good! People are grateful for any cool little prize! Just the glory of winning is sometimes good enough too!

Yep, I agree! My prize winners will be getting cheap, tacky dollar store prizes and candy! Although I do love the idea of an oversized rice crispy treat with a tiny bottle of liquor. Just the fact that you've made the effort to do anything at all should be the part that's appreciated when you're already throwing a party for them Not to say that I wouldn't lose my mind at a gift card, I just would be extremely suprised if I won something like that because I'm there to have fun and celebrate with friends, not get free stuff! *chuckle*.
