Batteries are always a winner! I have taken advantage of batteries in a cache once, but have read countless logs of people who were quite thankful to find batteries! Geocaching.com goodies are fun to find, plus it supports the site. When putting together a cache or filling up my hiking pack with trade goodies, I like perusing the endcaps by the checkout stands at REI...fun outdoors-y trinkets. My favorite goodie I took from a cache was a purple anodized lizard keychain (probably from someplace like this). I carry it everywhere, reminds me that I made it to the top of Camelback without dying!
