Have the holiday shipping deadline dates been announced yet?

Have they announced the holiday shipping deadline dates yet?

For most this would seem self-explanatory, but for me I am drawing a blank. I even did a search and went several pages deep and didn't see anything. Do you have any ideas for my host that wants to do a Holiday Baking theme? And, how would I go about doing this?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I probably should know this. For the fall/winter new sample packages- is there a deadline it needs to be ordered by? I am planning my 1st "open house/ holiday party" in November and want to show more new products. I am trying to budget my $. But don't...

Anyone know if we are going to have the mid-season Holiday cover change on the catalogs/mini's. I'm needing to order but didn't want to get lots if they are going to change as normal. Dates for change/order the new ones? Thanks.

Hey all, I am planning a huge holiday boutique for Nevember. I know way early to think about. But I have to start now to get everything running smoothly. I need some help typing up the forms for vendors to fill out and send with payment and also the form the vendors need to sign agreeing...

I was talking with my sister yesterday about our menus for our get togethers. We decided that I would bring dessert. We have one Christmas Day and another the next day at the same place. So I was trying to think of things that I could bake once and either make a double batch or possibly have...

Do any of you get your consultants holiday/end of the year gifts??? last year I got them each a Vera Bradley change purse & a few other little things that were in a bag & then I wrapped a bunch of products that I had on hand & they drew #'s & then the person w/#1 could steal what ever she/he...

I had a guest at my Sunday show book for this coming Sunday, I've never had such a quick turn around. I've only been using the DCB at shows, but she wants a desserts only show. I've looked through several recipes, but I'm wanting something to demo that uses lots of products and is really...

I'm up I'm packed I'm checking my list AND I feel like I've forgotten every bit of PC product information that was in my head! :o Wish me luck. At least hubby's going with me (his own free will lol) so I'll have back up.

Hello! I am having an open house and want to have some different type of things for people to do. Has any one ever done a word search or a crossword puzzle or something fun to do? Let me know. Sarah

I was invited to join an Open House kind of last minute (it is this Sunday!) and I am looking for suggestions for food to prepare. It will be from 1 - 5pm. Someone suggested making food every hour on the hour...not sure how many will be attending, so trying to stick to something quick and...

Does anyone send out Christmas cards to their guest and or hosts. I am still new and don't have a huge base so I thought I would send them to everyone. But I don't want to pay $40 for Merill's cards and then the postage too. Please share what you do!! :angel: thanks Jan

I am a vendor at a holiday boutique at my neighbors home. She said she does this every year because she has her own homemade jewerlry. So there will be other vendors also. Most are cash and carry though. I have no items for cash and carry. I am new and can not afford that right now. SO any...

OK, my show I submitted on Monday is "picked." It should ship tomorrow, but there is no tracking number yet. I am going to be house-sitting over the holiday weekend, though I will be stopping at home to check on my cats. Any clue when Fed Ex works this week? I'm sure they will be taking...

I am doing a show at my home December 1st. I would like to have a couple recipes out for people to taste and do a demo. What are the best recipes for the holidays? I was thinking of letting people use the new cookie press, maybe get another to try the ricer attachment. Also, I'd like to...

I will be doing a charitable holiday shopping event at a large insurance company. All it is costing me is a donation of a $10-$15 item for a charity raffle. I have that covered with Appetizer & Holiday Dessert cookbooks as well as a SBCB. There are 500 employees! I need ideas! What has...

Hi Friends! I'm having a Holiday Open house at my home next week and now that the invites are sent, I'm starting to panic. I'm planning to give my Past hosts the benefits from the show if they bring $100 in outside orders, they qualify for the benefits drawing. And I have ordered a bunch of...

What information are you handing out at your holiday booth? I want to make sure I'm taking good information, but also not too much that it boggs the table down. I will have a few catalogs and mini cats, order forms. I will have the current guest/host special and for December on display. I was...

Let me know what you guys think! I'm excited about this. Me and the Silpada lady are basically trading "shows". I asked the Scentsy lady after that arrangements so I asked her to merely ask all her "peeps" and she can keep it as a show for herself to make it worth her wild. Thanks!

Cross-posting this since I'm not sure where it belongs... My friend is hosting a party for me and for a friend of hers who sells Silpada jewelry. When she sent out the evite she promoted it as a "Holiday Shopping Extravaganza featuring Pampered Chef and Silpada". I talked to someone in my...

My friend is hosting a party for me and for a friend of hers who sells Silpada jewelry. When she sent out the evite she promoted it as a "Holiday Shopping Extravaganza featuring Pampered Chef and Silpada". I talked to someone in my cluster who has done something similar and she suggested not...

This is the fancy name I have for my open house that I am doing on Saturday. I am using my directors invite along with her suggestions for ticket drawings a so forth. Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas for food to serve and how to talk things up, since it is a floating party. Also I...

I have a show in another week and the hostess has asked me to make a drink. I mentioned the chocolate martini, but we'll be making a chocolate recipe and she's concerned about too much chocolate. Does anyone have any recipes that would be good for the holidays? Thanks for the help! Evonne

To count a holiday fair as a cooking show if I made cookies before the fair and brought them there? I told them I made the cookies with the press but didn't actually make them there. I spent about $15 on the ingredients and then passed them out as free samples. I don't want to do anything...

I have a host who is doing a multi-vendor holiday party this month. I am planning to prepare the recipes ahead of time and just display my products - but I was just wondering what I should put into the host packet?

Just curious when you start looking for holiday fairs? Most of the ones around where I live are already booked with a pampered chef consultant. There is one in a town that I did one for this summer but didn't have very good results and it's 2 hours away so I'm not sure it's worth the...

I tweaked one I had gotten from another consultant a few years back...here it is in case anyone needs...

Does anyone have a gift under $30 or less flyer? I am having a holiday shop in 2 weeks. I would love to have an updated gifts under $30 or less flyer to have a ideas for my guests. Thanks in advance. Amy

I have a booking in Nov for my BF's sister. She is hosting a holiday get together with several vendors, one being her "gold lady" who buys used and broken gold jewelry for cash on the spot. The idea is that the guests will use that money for spending with the other vendors. I think it's a...
