How about sending your photo to space and recovering it?

What about sending any tiny object (with weight and size restrictions) into space and recovering it?

The higher levels could offer to send a small custom payload into space (if not orbit) e.g. a smartphone with sensors.

The first two would be more for the novelty (this ring was in space!), where the last might be for a university project or something.

I am the creator of this Kickstarter project. Upper stage without lower stage is certainly not reaching space. We didn't want to give people false hope. And the project there is mostly for a promotion, since we're fundraising in Boost accelerator before demo day

These are all things I wasn't even thinking of. They would be great reward tiers. I would love to send a little data logger into space just so I could have my own personal data from space, kind of like the ArduSat Kickstarter. I'm not sure if it would be feasible, but if the price was under $1k for a smartphone sized package I'd go for it. Even if it was timesharing my code with someone else's to make it feasible. I'd pay more for a higher chance of success, but given the two year lead time and unknown chance of success I'd want a discount.

And at the $50,000 tier, we'll put a 10" wrench with your name on it into the same orbit as your favorite NRO satellite.

There's a big difference between getting something "to 'space'" and getting something into orbit. More than 28,000 km/h difference.
