Prizes for geocaches! Antler, with animal tracks. Strung on leather cord with wooden beads.
Before being put out, these were sealed (with a tiny slip of paper with my geocaching username and geocaching.com on the back) and were hung with tags that gave a little info including the name of the animal whose track is featured.
Geocaching is cool and I wish people put effort into making the actual caches cooler instead of less cool. I've found virtual garbage in caches. A packet of lime flavoring? No one wants that crap and it's against the rules anyway. *fist shake*
Top row: white-tailed deer, brown bear, pine marten, raccoon, coyote, domestic cat. (Raccoon and domestic cat were given to some good friends, coyote was kept for me).
Bottom row: opossum, red fox, American badger, river otter, grey squirrel.

Yeah, winter caching is tricky (but I've actually had a lot of fun with it so far... it gives me more incentive to go out when I normally wouldn't.)
I am easily amused by small novelties and "treasures" so I really enjoy the exchange part - I just really wanted to be able to trade something cool! A lot of people really like finding handmade and personalized things. It's fun to be excited to leave things as well as find them! :P
A lot of the caches around here I've found have been kind of lazy - either microcaches hidden in the woods (in places that could -easily- hide a regular cache), or kind of rude junk left behind in the caches. I'm excited to go do more, though.
The next batch I do of these (and maybe even this batch if I decide to) will probably have a travel bug or two in there.

Travel bugs are always fun, although I never go far enough to consider taking one. I often go hiking in the Cascade foothills, which increases the complexity of the caches as well as risks the cache not being there anymore due to a mudslide, but can lead to a memorable experience when you do find one. If I had more of an ability to revisit any location that wasn't already littered with caches, I would probably hide my own in a puzzle cache, since I have a Cryptex that I bought specifically for one.
