I am making a "basket" for a silent auction and have the "Ferris Bueller" theme.... rather than sticking to ideas strickly from the movie... thinking along the lines of what do REAL people do when they play hooky from work or school???

Please help me with ideas on how to entice people to bid on my basket!!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

    Actually, when I play hooky from work, I usually call in faking a hang-over before collecting friends to adventure around the city. In DC, that actually does mean "fancy restaurant, art museum, and ball game." If we're lucky, we might get a parade too.

    When I play hooky, I just lounge in bed... BORING! ;)

    When I had Senior Skip Day in high school, me and a bunch of people went to the movies, then we went to an arcade, to the mall and then we finished up eating some fast food. Lol

    oooh maybe one of those spa eye masks to represent sleeping in and relaxing? with some spa stuff - like bubble bath and bath salts and creams? and you should attach a note to it, written in typical "mom" hand writing (or even better, NON-mom hand writing) explaining why you will be off school for the day! this sounds so fun ;)

    I play hooky nearly every week, lying through my teeth to avoid responsibility, so I can go play tennis, fishing or hiking.
    Sometimes, I just stay home, turn off the phones, lay around and read a book.

    LOVE IT!
