Ideas for my event pls?

Options
Hi all, there could already be a thread for this but I haven't found one.
I am organising an event for a local charity and am looking for free/really cheap party bag ideas.
I am selling tickets to a Ladies Day, and have some local beauticians offering cheap services (spray tans nails etc) at the event. I would like to hand out party/gift bags to justify ticket prices but dont want to spend too much. I have already got a few ideas and was going to ask local businesses for discount vouchers or the like.
Any websites offering bulk free or really cheap stuff would be great!
Cheers x

    we offered a glass of wine upon entry to justify fee, that way you can buy cheaply and keep costs down.
    Bow Ties ARE cool :cool:

    I'd pester local businesses and see what I could get for free. We recently did a thing at work with no budget and I managed to wangle free fudge, free milkshakes, free pencils and a £50 voucher as a raffle prize. Just be really polite and try lots of places.
