Christmas booths

[AmyP]

I have a few upcoming booths in November. I want my table to have a christmas theme. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. EX: decorations, flyers, signs, what PC products to display....Thanx!!! :)

I usually go to Dollar Tree and stock up on christmas tree decorations (usually the ball ornaments), swags, ribbon, etc. I fill the trifle bowl with the ball ornaments. You can also line the bottom edge with ribbon before you put the balls in or tie a ribbon around the bottom. The last booth I did, I tied the beaded serving spoon and cake server together. It's a great set to show off.

Thankyou! Thats a cute idea!

I was thinking of using stockings and having some products poking out the tops...

I have a 3' christmas tree that I use and put lights on it and then take the kids apron and hat and put them on the tree and tie small tools to the tree as ornaments. Will post a picture.

I like the tree idea! For the gifts underneath it, what if you filled one cup prep bowls with red and green M&Ms and put a gift bow on top of each. My director sells a lot of prep bowls by telling people that one set plus a bag or two of candy can make six small gifts for coworkers, neighbors, or your child's teacher.

I am doing 2 fairs this week- the first I've ever done. I got some clear bags for gift baskets and put some sets together. Bamboo bowl, tongs, bag of croutons. Square baking pan with a brownie mix in it. Pineapple wedger with a pineapple on top. Colander with noodles and sauce in it. Prep bowl with m&M's. 2 bamboo bowls with oil seasoning. Easy read measuring cup with truffles, Measure all with truffles. I got a christmas tree card holder that I turned into a booking tree. I made little presents with dates and they can pick a date. A show over $500 will get $20 extra free products and anything less but at least $300 will get $10 free.

Thanks for the neat ideas. I will be doing a Church Bazaar in two weeks. I like #8's ideas. Good way to show products and how to use them as gifts, without having samples and having to worry about a health inspector coming around. I wonder, are you selling the gift baskets with products, or taking orders?

Hello! I am new to this site and very disappointed that I am JUST discovering it! Anyway, I am doing the Holiday gift fair at my job and these are some great ideas! I do have one question.....do you have products on hand that they can buy on-site? For example, maybe the bamboo spoon sets, a few prep bowl sets, or something? Or is it better to just take the orders?

It is not a bad idea to have products for sale. The tough part is knowing what they will want to buy. The only thing I know everyone loves is the Season's Best - $1.00 cookbook. Whenever I have these at a booth they go like crazy. Anyway, otherwise just take orders. Good luck!
