+garynlyssa Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am going to put out a new cache soon and I would like to have a first to find gift. What are some ideas or no no's? Any ideas for me would be great! Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Horsegeeks footprints are all I ever see when I try to get a FTF. Seriously-it depends on how much you want to invest in the project, but a small denomination gift card to a local establishment would be welcome, a handmade signature item, or just something unique. It really isn't about the swag, it's about the experience and the journey. Edited August 21, 2008 by wimseyguy Quote Link to comment
+PlantAKiss Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) In my cache I put a miniature ammo can as FTF gift. And, in honor of folks like me who can't dash out the instant a cache is published, I put a 15th to find prize of a Starbucks card. In the caches I'm working on now, I have FTF prize of a $10 Dairy Queen gift card and a $5 gift card for 15th to find. I guess if you want to do a prize (not required), it depends on how much you want to put into it. I try to keep my swag items as "nice" and useful as possible without it getting tooo expensive. But that's something I find fun to do and not something I expect from others. SWAG is just a fun bonus sometimes...not the point of the hunt.

+slackpacker Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'll drop in an unactivated geocoin if I have one handy, they seem to be popular, usually get very nice comments - Quote Link to comment

How in the world do you enforce the idea that finders #2-15 leave the $5 gift card behind? Quote Link to comment
+PlantAKiss Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's honor system. And it was honored. I guess cachers 1-14 were very nice people. Quote Link to comment
