Something rigid would be better. You do not say what you mean by "randomize samples" so it is difficult to provide other advice. There are, for example, die with various numbers of sides used in games like Dungeons and Dragons, that could be used for assigning people to experimental conditions. Or you can adapt existing objects like playing cards for some purposes. Computer programs are readily created for randomization using even basic languages like QBasic, which I think is still hidden away in Windows.
