Last night we had a fun Boston CFUG meeting where Ike Dealey spoke about his onTap framework. As the co-manager with Brian Rinaldi, I am in charge of promoting meeting attendance, so I raffled off a digital photo frame as the door prize.
Getting to pick out the door prizes is something that I enjoy, since I get to indulge my own preferences for what makes a desirable prize. But I'm well aware that not everyone else might share my taste, so I wanted to ask the opinion of the community at large: what products or services would make attractive, desirable door prizes, enough to make you more interested in attending a user group meeting? Would it be something silly like the Airzooka air gun? A cool piece of electronics such as a digital camcorder? The now-ubiquitous iPod? The only guidelines are that it would need to be widely popular, and priced less than $100.
Please leave an idea via the comments below. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. If enough products are brought up, then I might put together a survey where everyone can rank the best ones.

@TJ: Oh, beer at the local pub is a given after every single meeting! There's a watering hole assigned for every meeting location. ;)

Mention of the AirZooka reminds me of the YouTube video of the office war with all the Nerf guns. :)

Hey Tom, just thought I'd drop a brief note here to mention that I figured out what was causing the problem that kept me from demoing the plugin manager during the presentation yesterday. I posted another blog about it here:
