I thought about doing the rectangular platter with the cranberry accent - AND the spreader set (cranberry and white). How does that sound? Then maybe put some recipes in there as well...
I could get the platter at the sample price THEN the spreaders during my kit enhancement month. My total is 26 something for $45.50 worth of product!!!
My ultimate goal is BOOKINGS!!!! Come on people!! If nothing else - the two directors should book right??!!
And of course the winner could be enticed into buying the stand or woven traditions FOR the platter don't you think...
I might just start something.
Hey, a girl can dream can't she??

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of basket should I consider for a silent auction at my son's pre-school?
Consider a basket that appeals to both children and parents. Popular themes include family game night, baking essentials, or a movie night basket. These themes often attract bids from families looking for fun activities to enjoy together.
How do I choose items for the basket?
Select items that are high-quality and relevant to your chosen theme. For example, if you choose a baking basket, include Pampered Chef tools like measuring cups, mixing bowls, and a popular recipe book. Aim for a mix of practical and fun items to entice bidders.
What is the ideal price range for a silent auction basket?
The ideal price range can vary, but generally, aim for a basket valued between $50 to $100. This range tends to attract more bidders while still offering good value. Ensure the items in the basket are worth the starting bid to encourage competitive bidding.
How can I make my basket stand out?
Presentation is key! Use a decorative basket or container and wrap it in clear cellophane. Add a colorful bow and a tag that describes the contents and the theme. A well-presented basket is more likely to catch the eye of potential bidders.
Should I include a Pampered Chef item in my basket?
Absolutely! Including a popular Pampered Chef item can increase the appeal of your basket. Items like the Stoneware Baker or a versatile kitchen tool can attract bids from parents who appreciate quality kitchenware. Just make sure it fits well with your overall theme!
