diffraction glasses. the heart ones are amahhhhz!
I bought some heart diffraction glasses last year because of the great things I'd heard but I'm not sure if my glasses are as good as they should be or if I got ripped off.
Compared to my double diffraction glasses, the heart ones are completed opaque so you can't really wear them unless you're just sitting in one spot looking at lights. I love them for that but it would be cool if I clips wear them dancing or something... Are they normally like that?
Get some individually wrapped wet wipes. Not all porta potties will have hand sanitizer.
And they definitely won't have toilet paper
FANNY PACK!
If you want another level up... get the outdoor products waist bag. It holds a water bottle AND has several convenient pockets. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ONPK562?psc=1
There's a handheld fan you can buy on Amazon. Electric one too.
There's one that also mists water. It's dope... Kinda bulky though..
I bought one of these and it was the best investment I've ever made. I never once felt over heated or hot at the recent festival I was at. And people bowed to my feet and kissed them when I gave them precious water wind from the gods haha!
Either of those are suuuuuch great things to have. Not only can you keep yourself cool in those hot crowds, but it's such a nice gesture to keep your fellow ravers cool around you. I appreciate it when someone random fans me! It's so nice.
Stash boxers!
Vitamins, glow sticks, gel inserts. If your setting up the venue, binder clips, staple gun, rope, fabric, extension cords
Use that money to buy another event! Don't waste your money!
It's Amazon credit though lol I don't think I can buy a festival ticket with that

Ear plugs, cough drops, gum, water, food, clothing layers, gum, a toy such as a hola hoop, good vibes
I second a hula hoop (I'm a bit biased as a hooper lol) there's a few good ones now on Amazon by a company called The Spinsterz. The light up ones you would want to go to a different website for.
But Amazon also has iHeartraves/Emazing Lights gear!! So you could grab an orbitz or gloves too.

Get boom booms they're like Vicks but better. They smell so amazing definitely worth it.
you got a link for this? Definitely want to check them out
Here you go, Amazon 3-Variety Pack Boom Boom Site
For them I bought the Amazon 3-pack since I wanted to try them all out and I had prime, but if you pay on the original site you can get a free one but you have to pay shipping and they have a lot of 20% off if you sign up for their email list. Also forewarning, they are a lot stronger then Vicks so be careful when you stick them up your nose because they're a lot more than you'd expect.
I like them a lot more then Vicks but they are definitely on the pricier side of things.

Ibuprofen, misty fan, bandanas, chapstick, hair ties
Camelback, Tent, Earplugs and bandana for sleeping (The bandana can be used as a dust mask and also a night mask to block the light out when you sleep), Easyup for shade, and I always bring an air mattress.
Drop most of that on a quality tent and camelbak. Ankers are quality portable phone battery chargers that can last.
Buy both of these and tape them together to make fantastic giveaway toys for people you connect with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JV06CV6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009TZRIGG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I made about 20 pairs for Project Z and about 10 for HARD and everyone that I gave them too was super grateful. It's a great feeling to blow people's minds for less than a dollar a pair.
Also alcohol free wet wipes are a great idea to bring in and are great for sharing.

Glow sticks and Dum Dums
EL wire!
Get DownBeats EarBuds and the eMazinglights diffraction glasses.
Camelback/ hydration bladder, portable power bank
If I had that much gift money I'd definitely splurge on a camelbak. So much better than my current method of water bottle in a backpack.
You don't have to spend the coin on a camelback. Quite a few modern backpacks have a hydration sleeve and you can put any hydration bladder in them. I really like the platypus bladders and the REI Flash 18 backpack.
