Due to the importance placed by Hash House Harriers on recognizing and celebrating important hashing milestones, Hash Boy has listed the traditional Hash House Harrier anniversary milestone gift typically awarded. Although there are local variations observed in certain hash geographies, this list represents the traditional gifts awarded by most Hash kennels. This list is periodically updated for completeness and can be downloaded for convenient reference while on trail or during down-downs.

I can’t believe you list the Ottoman getting awarded at the 500th hash. That’s a lot of hashes. Our kennel awards an Ottoman at 225 hashes and awards the Tire Rotation at the hasher’s 15 year hash anniversary. Crazy hash world.
