Christmas Giving Ideas for Women's Fair

[Jennie4PC]

I will be doing a free booth at a womens fair and they want me to have christmas giving ideas set up I do plan on doing the small batter bowl with the cookie mix in it but what other types of things should I do for the display I am not a very creative person. I wont be sitting at the booth to talk about things since they dont want people to feel like they need to buy any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm doing a fair next weekend. I'm going to do the batter bowl mix, and I think I'm going to make a trivet christmas stocking (as pictured on the back cover of the Holiday mini catalog) and hang it from my table. Maybe some nuts, etc. in SA small bowls wrapped in plastic wrap.

For my shows and two upcoming fairs, I put together the small batter bowl with the brownie mix like you did and put together the trivet stocking like lkspeir said (make a cone, keep it together with a rubber band, then tie a nice ribbon around it -- alternative to trying to do a tie-up thing like in the mini-catalog). Other ideas: (1) tie a nice ribbon around the creative cutters (because the silver tin looks nice by itself); (2) make the spiced pecans in SB, put in SA small bowl, wrap with clear celophane paper and tie off with ribbon; (3) take a small holiday themed basket and fill with a few pantry seasonings; (4) put the ice cream dipper, ice cream sandwich maker and a jar of ice cream topping in a xmas paper-wrapped box (or basket); (5) tie a ribbon around the Let's Eat cookbook and Kid's cookie cutters for a kids idea. Obviously there are bigger things you could show, but I opted for smaller things so it was less to carry to shows/fairs. Good luck!Tanya

Great ideas Tanya - especially the rubber band to hold the trivet together. I had thought about the spices thing. I just got some with my supply order today. I saw the spiced pecans in the Holiday mini catalog - planning to do that. I've only go a week, so I've got to pull things together quickly.Thank you for your suggestions!

Thank you for all of these creative ideas! I was going to post on needing suggestions for visual gift ideas to display at my next coming craft fairs! Just what I needed!

you could also try the cappuccino mix in the prep bowls, it was mentioned in a thread about fundraisers

I put a package of dip mix and a set of small spoons into a SA square and wrapped it with a ribbon.

I made a sample of the trivet stocking tonight - the rubber bands were a great tip!! Thanks!I have several questions.....What do you all do as far as set up goes?? How do you display? How much do you take? What kind of handouts to you prepare?

very clever! I wanted to do something in the new SA tiles for my daughters teachers and I also loved the one with the spiced pecans gift idea or perhaps do a gourmet apple and stick it in the SA tiles bowl and wrap it and use the napkin ring to close it!

does anyone have a picture of the trivet stocking? I don't have the holiday mini.

To see it go to anyone's PWS, click on the holiday catalog, then click on the back cover and there is a picture there.
