What about for the general webmaster public, not webmasters that own businesses, most of the webmasters won't be interested in advertising since their site has no service or products to sell.

A Mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works Tuning kit, aswell as the aero kit.


Oh wait, that doesn't fit into the $300 range does it?

So I'd say a newegg gift certificate.

Everyone could use an extra tshirt. Why not make a bunch of shirts up with your logo/url on it. Not only do your winners get a new shirt, but its a good way to promote your website.

DVD players. They are getting to be dirt cheap, and look more expensive and cool then they really are.

RMF Who would wear a tshirt of a website, that's kind of geeky :)

Now, mousepads is a different story (although I don't know how many use mousepads anymore since the optical mouses came out, I still use a mousepad even though I have the optical mouse)..

Whatever you do, don't get vouchers for <insert name here> store.

Think of your international audience. People in europe won't be able to use a NewEgg voucher.

Hardware should be OK providing it will run/charge on different voltages (the UK is 240v, 50Hz, 3-pronged plug) or take standard AA/AAA batteries.
