I want to come up with great ideas for gifts and prizes to give away. I need some good categories and then prizes to go with them!
Please help.

If it is a 40 year reunion get prizes that would have been reflective of 40 years ago. Maybe a 1972 greatest Hits CD. DVDs of greatest movies of 1972. Or books for that matter.
Was there anything special that happened in that year in your city (besides the graduation). Maybe you can find memmorabilia of the event.
For award categories: Farthest distance traveled to attend, married for the longest, most children or grandchildren, changed the most and changed the least in appearance, who acheived the highest educational degree(s), drives the oldest car, first person who RSVP'd for the reunion, who has the most pets, who has most gray hair and or least amount of hair - LOL ;-)
As for door and award prizes, definitely music CD's with songs like Dark Side of the Moon, Summer Breeze, Thick as a Brick, Let's Stay Together, Baby I'm a Want You, Jammin' with Edward, Sail Away, etc. Oh, and a must on the CD is American Pie ;-)
Movie DVD's such as The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange, Caberet, Dirty Harry or even TV series like The Brady Bunch, All in the Family, Partridge Family, Hawaii Five-O, Sanford and Son and Ironside.
How about a model or replica of a VW Bug? That was the most popular standard car overall at that time and just so happened to be my favorite what with owning a used '59 with a canvas roll back sun roof and a pedal switch to kick on for an emergency one gallon of gas backup which came in really handy when I was running out of gas on an freeway in L.A.
Okay, okay, I know we weren't supposed to drink in high school but you know many of us did so I can't help but to suggest perhaps a bottle of Gallo - LOL. My first thought was a bottle of Tyrolia but it isn't made anymore, however, you can always print out the photo of it here or perhaps search the internet for vintage Tyrolia bottle for sale; O've seen them for sale in the past.
I so wish I could attend my 40th reunion this year in Pacific Palisades, Ca but health issues will be preventing me :-( My heart will be there though and my first boyfriend will be cell phoning me from the event so I can chit chat with others attending :-)
During my 40th, each attendee received a beautiful tote bag with a large beach towel embroidered with our school mascot. In the beach bag was also samples of suntan lotion and various other samples from a company that gave them away.
