The goody bag is the colloquial term for the prizes given to contestants after they have appeared on Countdown. The prizes are different depending on whether the player won a game, or even made the Series finals. The current goody bag includes:
- Countdown mug
- Countdown pen
- Countdown clock
- Oxford Dictionary of English Third Edition
- Susie Dent's What Made the Crocodile cry?, a book analysing the English language.
Those who also win at least one game get:
