Just a big thank you for all the wonderful ideas on the website. It’s been an excellent year for us, finishing with a pantomime a few weeks ago.

Can I have some ideas for housie/bingo prizes for people on reduction diets. One lady in particular has a psychiatric condition and feels she must get an edible prize but other non-edible ideas would be good.
We have a box of assorted items that we bring out as bingo prizes sometimes instead of sweets. It has things such as pairs of socks, scarves, soaps, powders, small purses, hand cream. I don't know about you but we often have people offering to donate things and we put these small things aside for this and the residents love choosing a gift for themselves for a change.
As for people on reduction diets? We do have sugar free lollies as an option (I buy them from the supermarket) but otherwise we don't worry too much about a little lollie doing much harm...
We use much of what Alexandra has mentioned with the addition of $1 scratches and stationary items.
Thank you Alexandra and Ashleigh for your feedback. We do have the sugar free sweets but it is nice to get away from the sweets sometimes.
