They used to give me money every night.

I have been given 100s of monkeys, so many in fact the bar owner asked me to take them home. He said they were a fire hazzard.  LMAO I was even given a 4ft blow up monkey.

I am extremely fortunate to have a wonderful following. For my birthday every yr they through a party. I have been given the nices gifts imaginable.

For Christmas every yr I work our bar party for free. The patrons don't know it, but I do it because they are so good to me. I'll have Christmas presents piled on the stage before I even get there. The last 2 yrs I made goody bags for everyone. I made 60 and it wasn't enough. I've already purchased this yrs gifts for my patrons. I had x-mas ornaments made. It is expensive, but my goodness these people are soooo wonderful to me. It is the least I can do.

I've gotten several t-shirts, hats, souveniers, shot glasses from vactioning customers that came up from other states from the forums and regular customers that go on vacation.  
MANY karaoke discs have been given/donated to me over the years from people that would sing their songs & then get tired of them & donate the disc to me - they figured they could still sing the song anyway as that is the only place they go.  
Have gotten several little knick knack items & hand made items.
Last Christmas I got a homemade cookie kit.
Like TT said, money quite often - don't know if tips are what you are looking for, but it's one of my favorite gift.
Otherwise since I collect shot glasses, I always appreciate a new one.

forgot to mention...I have not really recieved much for gifts from patrons (well I do get flashed from time to time, and much appreciate that ... last winter we went into a show run by a woman my cohost has known for a few years. I had met her once before and knew she is a fantastic singer, and as it turns out does a good job hosting. when I got to her show I was disappointed to say the least. she does a good job but her DJ hubby won't spend a dime on good gear for her. her mic (yes only 1 out front) was a really old crappy realistic.  it had all the tone quality of a tin can on a string. after singing 1 song I went out to my van and dug out an old Samson that I bought when I got started, and after 1 show replaced with an sm58. I took it in an gave it to her, it was much better than what she had, and I would not have ever used it again. she still uses it every show, even commented about it when My co-host was at her show a coupple weeks ago. sadly her hubby and the venue pushing her to do more DJ have run off all her singers over the last 6 months.
