The ignitor off a fireplace butane lighter is perfect for that. They run about 2 bucks in the dollar store. Just make sure it is a piezo lighter not the flint kind.
. Scuff your shoes across the carpet in a room with low humidity. Some combinations of shoes/carpet work much better than others. This should be free (in most cases) and nearly always easy.

How much high voltage are you shooting for?
A tv flyback transformer with some accompanying circuitry makes nice high voltage.
You can get a Model A (old ford car) coil.
A neon transformer makes a great plug in high voltage.
There's the Van-degraff machine.
Or the Tesla coil.
Take your pick.
