    Are you in a girls school or boys.
    In general food does really well, ice lollies, chocolate santas, muffins. Stay away from things that involve ordering things (personalized hoodies, mugs etc) they cause chaos.

    Then I'd go for food of some kind or keychains or if you can get them, magnetic mini whiteboards/blackboards for lockers. Those are fun. We did hoodies and made a good bit, but it was so hard to organize and there was about 3 we had to return because we'd taken the order down wrong.

    we sold firewood and made 500 euro profit each :D:D
    we were all able to work the stuff and wanted to do something involving abit of work outside.
    people did laugh at the idea but when we came first in the school and second in the county they had to suck it up and realise we kicked their asses. the judges loved the whole "bio fuel" idea.

    to be honest everyone does stuff to do with selling sweets and tea and stuff like that. if u want to do good in it do something unique. judges are sick of looking at people selling cakes and sweets and choc.
    wel thats what the judge said to us.

    the group that won the couny final had a company that burned old tapes and videos onto dvd. very good idea because everyone hasd the old videos of themselves when they were babys with no way of playing them.


    hoodies are a good idea and you can ask your principal can you make a school hoody or approach local clubs and see if they want them.

    Set up a lunchtime XBox/playstation league.
    Charge the punters 50c to enter.
    Sit back and watch money roll in.

    Damn, now my company are struggling, as our previous ideas have all come up short.

    We're a group of guys who aren't really interested in the competition side of things (doing well would be a bonus, however) we just want to make a bit of money outta it. So, anymore ideas from people to throw out there? They don't have to be unique, because at this point we don't mind doing something that's been done to death..
