Cathy, I have a large shoe box, wrapped with gift wrap ( a gift!) and have 
items that admittedly are a stretch for some of the illustrations.

I have a condom, pack of tissues, a note pad from Harvard School of Public 
Health, a BMI calculator, a wallet ( empty),  a pink breast awareness 
ribbon, an empty vitamin bottle, and a hurricane safety checklist ( for down 
here, good to use...).   Hope that helps with some ideas. I basically just 
rumage through my desk and kitchen for ideas and put the items in the gift 
box. I pass the box around in class, have each person ( moms and dads) draw 
out an item and explain how they think it relates to the benefits of 
breastfeeding.

Hope that gives you some ideas!
