If you are wanting to send them cards, but not spend the $$ at Merrill- just get a regular box of Christmas cards (or use what you have if you have any left over), and then tuck a recipe card or something into the card as a "gift", along with your handwritten note.I'm on the fence about it. I have a hard enough time sending cards to family! 
And now my newsletter service (Mike) has created some really nice e-card I can use for Christmas so I may just do that- at least I have that as a "plan B" if I don't get the others done! But my base is a bit larger- so I may just save them for HOSTS and Great Customers- then send the e-cards to everyone else.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some creative ideas for Christmas cards to send to my Pampered Chef guests and hosts?
Consider personalizing your Christmas cards with a handwritten note expressing your gratitude for their support. You can also include a recipe card featuring a holiday dish that can be made using Pampered Chef products. Adding a small sample of a spice or seasoning can also make your card stand out.
When is the best time to send Christmas cards to my guests and hosts?
The ideal time to send Christmas cards is early to mid-December. This allows your guests and hosts to receive them in time for the holiday season and ensures that your message of appreciation is fresh in their minds as they prepare for their celebrations.
Should I include a promotional offer in my Christmas cards?
Including a promotional offer can be a great way to encourage future orders or bookings. Consider adding a special discount or a limited-time offer for your Pampered Chef products that recipients can redeem in the new year. Just make sure it doesn’t overshadow your holiday message of gratitude.
How can I make my Christmas cards feel more personal?
To make your Christmas cards feel more personal, use the recipient's name and include a brief, specific note about a past interaction or event you shared. Mentioning a product they purchased or a recipe they enjoyed can help create a stronger connection and show that you value them as individuals.
What should I do if I have a large list of guests and hosts to send cards to?
If you have a large list, consider creating a template for your cards to save time while still allowing for personalization. You can also use online services to print and send cards, which can streamline the process. Just ensure that you still add personal touches, such as a handwritten signature or a brief note for each recipient.
