Gathering Donations From Local Businesses

So my son's school is in need of donations for their live and/or silent auction and I have been contacting local businesses asking for gift certificates, donations, etc. I'm trying to think about money makers at a school auction...maybe wine? Are there other things that are more earth-friendly I can ask for? Movie tickets, services, consultations, renewable/reusable items?

On a similar note, if there are any small mom and pop businesses that would like to donate something to get your name out to a few hundred people, please contact me and let me know! I'd be happy to pick up your item(s) or pay for delivery to Austin.
