We've had some pretty lame ones here this year...disappointing because I haven't supported the school at ALL from them. 
Last year we got a really cool one but they only did it once, I think most parents found it hard to work with because we didn't have notice about it...it was gift cards to a ton of different stores. You could buy different denominations from these stores (including grocery, clothing, shoes, etc) and then the next month you'd receive your GC to spend. The school got something like 15% of the GC amounts, if I remember correctly. We wanted to do it but it was really hard for us to find X amount to take from our budget to put towards the next month's budget, but if a person got into the habit of doing it that way it would work really well.
I also like the magazine subscription fundraiser, but our school doesn't do that...I think they do once they get to junior high, though (our school is only K-6). And when I was in school I always LOVED the chocolate bar sales, lol...World's Finest Chocolate. Mmmmm. In high school we did the chocolate covered almonds, etc.

I always like the candy bars and hoagies/subs and the candles!
