Representations of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh?

I am directing a live nativity at my church and need to find three things for the wise men to hold to represent the three gifts. Any ideas would help!

The gold could be represented by some of those candy "coins" wrapped in gold wrapping (which the children can have as treats after the performance!) or a brick or box wrapped in gold foil, which you should be able to find at a craft store. The Frankincense and Myrrh are both perfumes, of a sort, so a large perfume bottle might do for each of them.
