Recommended prizes that will be popular at after-parties and banquets (11–20)
gift certificate
When you’re the organizer and brainstorming prizes, your thoughts start spinning: “There’s no point in giving people something they won’t use,” or “The age range is all over the place, so I have no idea what would suit everyone…” and the worries just loop endlessly, right? (lol) At times like that, the classic standby—gift certificates—are really strong! No matter the age group, people are happy to receive them.
They might not be the most exciting choice, but they’re a surefire crowd-pleaser, don’t you think?
travel voucher
When you think of the grand prize at a raffle you often see in TV dramas and anime… that’s right, a travel voucher! Travel vouchers also show up frequently as luxurious prizes on TV shows.
Even people who don’t usually travel would be happy—no, absolutely thrilled—if they won one! And if it’s a pair travel voucher, the excitement of choosing who to go with and when to go just won’t stop.
Especially for company parties, preparing it with the hope that people will refresh themselves will make it a very well-received prize!
Household goods and daily necessities
Kitchen items are a classic choice for prizes, aren’t they? When you browse stylish variety stores, there are so many cute, mood-boosting things—but when it comes to actually buying them for yourself, you hesitate, right? (Haha.) Plus, some kitchen goods are consumables, and you end up debating replacements, so people are often happy to receive things they already use at home.
Even beyond the kitchen, why not pick everyday items and small goods that people use frequently—things that really scratch where it itches?
beauty device
Do you all use any beauty devices? There are affordable options like simple rollers you just roll over your face, and more serious beauty appliances like steamers for skincare—there’s a wide variety.
You might hesitate to buy one for yourself, but wouldn’t you be thrilled to receive one as a prize? Recently, major electronics makers have been releasing men’s beauty devices in sleek color schemes.
Face rollers and the classic Korean “gua sha” are inexpensive, and if you have the budget, going for the latest beauty appliance is a great idea too.
clock
A watch is a classic choice for a giveaway prize, isn’t it? Many people feel a wristwatch is essential at work or when going out.
Not just wristwatches—stylish desk clocks and wall clocks would also be well-received as prizes.
These days, many people use their smartphones as clocks and think they don’t need a watch, but having a clock in your room and on your wrist still provides peace of mind and convenience.
Since it’s an everyday item, choose something simple that suits anyone and looks good anywhere you place it.
