I just planted my first letterbox and have a couple more that need
to be placed. My question is, does anyone ever put a "prize" in the
box for the first time finders? This is routinely done in
geocaching, but I have yet to hear about it in letterboxing. Any
thoughts?

We have collected 6 "prizes" in letterboxes and plan to plant one in the next few days that includes a small prize. It adds to the excitement of being the first!

Some people do!
I personally have been the recipient of some very nifty origami sailboats
(in the box of hte smae name) and have heard of people leaving certificates,
patches, coupons...whatever.
It is totallyup to you!

I think something that can be pasted right in your letterboxing journal is
appropriate. I make up name badge-sized stickers on my computer for first finds.
They're small enough to fit in the box and in the first finder's journal.

I've left patches but only in the boxes that are difficult to find.
I also leave a note asking that if they don't need it, to leave it
for the next person. Remember there are no rules(well some) but if
you want to do it then 'Just Do It'.

We've left a small "First Finder Diploma". It's about 5 inches wide by maybe 7 inches long with the name of the box, the stamp impression, and our stamps.

Sorry for being so late with a reply, but I wanted to add my 2 cents
in.
We've always included a first finders 'award' or whatever you want
to call it. I made a little certificate type if thing and placed an
image of the stamp on it and signed it, kinda like an atrist signing
thier work, not that I'm an artist when it comes to carving stamps
let me be the first to say!

I offer my humblest of apologies and the most sincerest of requests for
understanding in this slipup. You see, although I have no excuse, I do have
a reason....
I was going to use the famous "But I was dead and couldn't answer" then
realized that wouldn't work, I couldn't get a note from my doctor. I was
going to claim grave illness that kept me in bed, but I couldn't get a note
from my mother. It was at that point that I realized that I had no choice
but to (gasp!) tell the truth. I was otherwise detained and kept from
internet access (Yes, I know) whilst in Las Vegas on my honeymoon. Suffice
it to say, that'll not happen again! (grin!!!)

No, sorry, we had no time for any letterboxing at all... And, not having a
car rental kinda hampered us as well. The schedule was hectic to say the
least, we went and did dinner at The Tournament of Kings on Thursday, and
then Sirens of TI after that, on Friday we were in the Adventuredome all day
and then we saw Ray Stevens in concert that evening and then Cirque Du
Soliel (Mystere) after that, then Saturday we did the StarTrek Experience
all day (What a thrill for an old Trekkie like me) then went and did dinner
at Ba-Da-Bing then off to catch Lord of The Dance (Awesome!). Sunday was
spent at the CyberSpeedway then we came back up the strip and caught the
Manhattan Express, then Ride for Atlantis, then caught Masquerade in the
Sky, then off to the Luxor to see The Blue man Group (Totally Awesome, we
managed to buy the painting they made that night!!! and seeing them was a
surprise for Kris, it's her favorite group.) and then Monday was spent at
the Airport waiting on Standby as we were ready to come home and didn't want
to wait for the Redeye we were booked on later that night (To no avail, we
ended up spending the day in the airport anyways)
All in all a wonderful time and we even managed to come out ahead on the
gambling as well. Lost at slots but won at Blackjack.

Hi Alan:
We usually leave a business card size First Finder Award that is
printed on glossy paper.
I thought it would be nice to keep it small so it could be placed
into a logbook if the finder wanted to do that.
I hadn't heard of the keychain charms before I discovered
letterboxing, so it never crossed my mind to put in something
dimensional for "First-ies"
I put a picture in the files area, if you'd like to see. Here is
the link: http://tinyurl.com/3ypby
I'd be interested in hearing what others put in for First Finders,
too. Thanks for the subject thread.
Enjoy!

My tip: Leave a spot on the face of it to make a stamp image in your
own colors, the way you envision it ought to look. I designed what I
think is a really cool looking certificate, but I'm now regretting
that I left that out.
Aside from that, go nuts.

So what is a "first find certificate" suppose to be??
I am guessing it is something special placed in a letterbox and the
first finder of the box gets to take it with them.
Is this a general trend that I need to add to my boxes (as soon as I
get one planted?)
Should they be suitable for framing?

I found out about the concept of a reward for first finders a bit later on in planting. Diane had the idea of starting out a hitchiker in the box. I like it. Maybe it'll have a similar theme to the box...
I'll see if I can send the First Finder Certificate from our more recent boxes. It definitely included the name of the box, the box stamp and ours.

So what is a "first find certificate" suppose to be??
I am guessing it is something special placed in a letterbox and the
first finder of the box gets to take it with them.
Is this a general trend that I need to add to my boxes (as soon as I
get one planted?)
Should they be suitable for framing?

Most of the ones that I've seen are small certificates that you can tape
into your logbook. They are only a few inches wide and high.
