I was baaaaaaaaad! I bought a total of 6 boxes LOL I have to admit it is addicting and being my first conference I think it became even more addicting LOL I bought a $50, and 3 $25's and 2 memorabilias. I bought two memorabilias mainly to get more totes to share with my recruits that have qualified recently :) But then got lots of striped SA, and lots of striped tableware (runners, placemats, etc) but I also got the kids apron and chef's hat! That was a well searched for item and I hid it LOL I am sending that to my grandaughter for Christmas :) Oh, I also got two quick stir pitchers, one small one large, the classic deep dish baker, white shears, red glitter runner. OK, I have so much stuff I don't remember the rest and can't wait until my boxes get here Tuesday and Wednesday :)
 
I got a total of 9 boxes......VERY addictive! I got a dots apron in one!!! I got 5 on Thursday (1 of each kind) then 4 on Friday b/c they were out of the memorabilia boxes. I so bad wanted a deep dish or oval baker but instead got a stone glazed platter & mini flutted pan.

Which box had the dots apron?
 
Bobby .. I wish we'd been around at the same time to trade TTA's for Quick Stir. I needed one ... but I didn't need 2 or 3!
 
Can someone who hasn't been to conference yet or is there now send me a surprise box if i give you my info?

I bought for two other consultants by giving their consultant ID and debit card #. Fed Ex shipped it with just the consultant #. They take the cost of shipping from future commisions.

Yep - I did that for Crystal - it was easy as pie.
 
Cool I had a lady do the same for me :) I can't wait to see or when I get them.
 
wadesgirl said:
Not surprising coming from you! :balloon: Did you get anything good?

LOL - I know... I know...

I did!
I got the striped platter, a couple Quick-Stirs, some placemats, napkins and so on, kids measuring cups (I wanted to cookie cutters too, but no one wanted to give them up), tons of tools (like 5 slive-n-serves!!!), a cookbook and some other stuff

I also sold my TTA since I already have a white one and didn't want to deal with bringing it home!
 
Is there anyone that can do it for me that is at conference now or will be?
 
If you were to chose what boxes to buy what would choose? $50? $25?

Thanks again, Carolyn! I guess they didn't need my debit #? I haven't gotten it yet, probably tomorrow. Hugs!

So Lindsay which one is the logo wear one?

Yeah i got a green one!!
 
If I remember, the log one was $25 and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.... merchandise?? something with an "m".....
I kept forgetting while I was there too - I had to keep asking someone what it was called! LOL
 
I've got 5 coming home I think. You could give those away. (stone crocks)
I don't know for sure what box the dots apron was in but I would guess memorablilia.
Word to all in rest of waves get to Merrill first b/c they don't restock once everything is gone.

MEMOROBILIA!!! That's the word!! LOL

And yes - the Dots apron was in there.
 
I have a director in our cluster going. How can she order boxes for me? How does she pay for shipping? Does she just walk up there and say I want such and such boxes mailed to consultant # and the shipping is billed to my debit card too?
 
What a crock. I got two. I went up to the lady giving the OTHER free gift (very useful for autumn shows) and told her somone else bought 3 surprise boxes and got 3 of those ... the lady gave me 2 more and said, "Shhhhhhh!" I told the same thing to the crock lady and she said one per order. At least the pretty sky blue matches my kitchen!Somebody there was saying that the dotts aprons are like gold ... I wish I'd gotten one to give my friend whose last name is Dotts.(BTW, thinking of offering a "Dotts discount" on the dotts products to anyone in the family at her September show.)The shipping is charged against your NEXT COMMISSION CHECK. They give your consultant ID and the fedex lady does the rest.You have to pay cash or use your pc credit or debit card to buy them.
 
So she does have to take the box to another table for shipping?
She just gives them the consultant number and thats it?
 
They take the boxes to the fedex people & give them the consultant# & away it goes. One of my boxes doesn't show moving yet. All the others show they are suppose to dlver tomorrow.
 
Anyone willing to purchase me a box or 2? If there are any takers please email me at
[email protected]

Thanks so much!
 
I would like to do this too. So anyone care to list what are some of the logo items in the "Memoriablia" box?
 
The "memorabilia" boxes were gone by day 2 for our wave ... so later waves, buy them early!I got 3 "oldies but goodies" and one "supreme surprises" that had the most recently discontinued stuff, including the bread knife that is not green!

Yeah, shop at Merrill FIRST THING or you will lose out..I went home w/ NOTHING from them because when I went back on day 2 the tables were literally empty..oh well, came home w/ some cash! LOL
 
So even if you're not at Conference you can get a suprise box?
