I'm putting them all in ziploc bags (am afraid cute gift bags will get crushed in my suitcase)

Cute, Carolyn! I did a little bag of munchies for them (no cute sayings, though). I gave them notebooks and highlighters last year, but wanted to change it up --so they will each get:

1- 100 calorie pack of Nabisco Choc. Covered Pretzels
4- 90 Calorie Special K Bars
1- Roll of Mints
1- Kit Kat
2- Rolls of Smarties
4- individual Sugar Free Kool Aid mixers for water

Hope they appreciate it! ;-)

I'm also giving each a 1-subject spiral notebook - in the back I stapled an enevelope and an expenses sheet so they have a place to keep their receipts and keep track of expenses.I really pared it down this year. I used to do binders - print all the pages, with a pencil case inside filled with treats, pens, highlighters, gum, tissues, etc ($$paper, ink, binder, treats$$$)But what I am making in overrides this year from my team is hardly anything because they're all averaging $150/mo...WHEN they submit anything) and I am maintaining my D status through the Elite Seller program...so I am not keen on the idea of making a big financial investment into them these days

Thanks Carolyn! I was just going to start a thread asking what others are putting in the goodie bags. I'm going shopping this afternoon for mine!

I take everyone in my group a tube of lotion from Victoria Secret. I get them when they are on SALE ($5 each or less) and when I hand them out I say "Victoria's secrets are nice, But Doris' are ALWAYS better!" since everything is to be a huge secret for each wave. Then when they use it (as long as it lasts) it reminds them of NC and all the learned there (I hope )

Speaking of cramming things into luggage, how much was it to check luggage last year at the Hilton? $2 or $4 per bag?? Need to plan on packing HEAVY if needed!!
