Default Paint can filler---HELP

Okay Gals & Guys I need to have some ideas for filling a paint can (gallon size) we are having an office party and I have to bring a gift that could be for anyone. I work with women only and there are some who are sensitive to odors (yes even candles). I think the paint can would be great fun but am stumped as to what to put in it.

IDEAS PLEASE...

How about chocolate, unscented lotion, stamped cards, notepads, or pencils or pens?

In the paint cans I'm doing the fillers are frig note pad, little spiral notebook, glass magnets, 2 year calendar, RSVP pen and post its. The sert used to decorate it all is Love w/o End. My friends and I are mass producing 20 cans---a lot of work, more than we bargained for!!! :shock:

There's a pretty extensive list of "theme" paint can filler ideas at http://store.scrappingwithstyle.com/...n=Custom&ID=34.
