I didn't know where to put this..
I have to make up a basket for a fundraiser (they raffle them off in an auction) I just found out I need to drop it off by Friday, yes the day after tomorrow:eek:
I was looking for suggestions of what to put in it...I am doing a $25 gift certificate but wanted to put something small in it as well....I have no time to order anything...I have some bamboo tongs, season's best cookbooks, maybe a slice and serve?? nothing huge...
I feel like the gift certificate isn't enough? Thoughts, tips, all appreciated!
Thanks :)
 
I just had to do one...I just did a basket for a giveaway a few weeks ago. It sounds like you have all the right stuff in there. I put a $10 gift certificate (only to be used through me), a prep bowl set, seasons best, mini serving spatula, and a bunch of recipe cards. Everyone loves recipes!
I would also make sure to include a recruiting flyer, and also a print out on 'how to earn more free prodcut'. Good Luck!:D
 
I gave a gift certificate last night at a Ladies Night event.

I offered:
$15 off their order
$20 more free if they host a show
$25 rebate on the kit if they join my team.

We'll see how it gets redeemed.

In there I also put a Season's Best, a catalog, and an opportunity brochure, with a handful of my business cards.
 
Do you have the great grilling cards or some rubs that you could put in there? That would go with the theme...

What a fabulous idea! Thank you! Way better than just a gift certificate!
