GourmetGirl said:Actually, we only get the cranberry bag if we submit 2 shows. We got a sample of the new mocha hazlenut sprinkles and a black/tan "leather" trimmed bag
rennea said:I've seen alot of photos on here with people holding the bags, they look very nice.
heat123 said:So what'd it look like???
ChefBeckyD said:I LOVE the bag! So classy looking! And at our Exec Banquet, we got a little jogger note pad that matches it. Directors also got a Daytimer Book that matches it.
At the Career Club Luncheon we got a metal can filled with 12 PC pens...nice pens.
Walking out of workshop, there were people handing us bags filled w/ old catalogs and S/B cookbooks.
chefann said:The cranberry bag is 2 shows plus conference. But it wasn't distributed at conference. They'll ship as people earn them.
The tote was black canvas with tan leather trim. Very classy, and appropriate for both men and women.
We also got pens at the lunch on day 2 (7 in a cardboard tube for general lunch, 21 in a tin for career club). The table gift at the banquet was a little pad in a portfolio so we can jot down contact info when we're out and about. We also got a sample of the mocha sprinkles, as well as the special edition CN (although people have posted that they didn't get one if they left general session early). Folks who got the lanyards got a light up toy; and people on track for level 2 or higher trips got a portable fan that lights up. Level 3 and 4 achievers (already have earned this year's trip) got aprons that said "I'm going to Mexico/Paris for free! Ask me how you can, too!" And if we signed up to participate in the Making Strides walks in October, we got a pen that has post-it flags in it.

leftymac said:Sorry Ann, I love ya, but I'm gonna have to argue about that black/brown bag being appropriate for men and women. I'm pretty gay and I wouldn't be carrying around that bag outside of the conference. It's a very nice bag (high quality), but just not for men. The handles are too purse-like, I think. No matter, though, because I got two nice messenger bags in the surprise boxes! (In addition to me being the Simple Additions Slut that I was!)
Trust me... He is a SA Slut! You should have seen him at the surprise box table!leftymac said:Sorry Ann, I love ya, but I'm gonna have to argue about that black/brown bag being appropriate for men and women.

rennea said:OMG you just made me laugh out loud!!! I'm at work in my office and all my staff think I'm nuts.
chefann said:OK- I misremembered the number of pens.
Keith- I thin I have the bags from both years we had the messenger styles. They're slightly used, but do you want them? I don't like the way they don't really hold their shape. This year's bag is still better than some we've had as far as the man-factor.
And, yes - Keith was a total slut at the surprise box tables! (Love ya, hun!) I just went over there to get a box so I could mail home some of my purchases since they wouldn't fit in my suitcase.

Kitchen Diva said:Oh MYLANTA! you are too funny! I used to have a gay BFF named Doug, I miss him so much- he lives on the east coast and we've lost touch--- you are like my little dose of Dougy! Thanks Keith!!!!
KellyTheChef said:I about spit my tea out when I read Keith's post!!

DebbieJ said:Mine had 14 pens.

leftymac said:Wow..who knew I was so entertaining? You gals are a good boost to my ego!
PamperedDor said:Oh honey - you are entertaining! YOU MUST do a great show! (bet it doesn't hurt your cute as well!~)
chefann said:One of my roommates was a little disgusted with that gift. She commented that she didn't need HO's old garbage. Of course, her bag didn't have any SBRCs in it, just catalogs. I use old catalogs like that for fairs, so I'll use them!
janetupnorth said:Boy, once again I know how to kill a thread!
Hey Keith, how many recruits do you have now? Last post you had on that awhile ago, you were doing great!

janetupnorth said:Wow, almost to Directorship - way to go!
This new incentive should help for those new ones.
pampcheflisa said:Also, another freebie they handed out to First Timers at the Exec Banquets was a really cool mouse. I was kind of a clear blue and the front part had liquid in it and a little PC logo that floated in it. My husband wouldn't let me use it at home since our mouse is a laser and this one is a ball. So, I just brought it to work with me. Now, if I could get people over to my cube to say something about my cute mouse.
Oh, the PENS!!!! I am a pen FREAK!!! I love pens (it's really a sickness), so I was ecstatic with them, and sorry, but I will NOT be sharing my pens with anyone!!!
Yes, the cranberry bag was given to all attendees at the conference as a gift.
In addition to the cranberry bag, attendees also received a set of kitchen utensils, a cookbook, and a personalized apron.
Overall, the cranberry bag was well-received by attendees. Many appreciated the high-quality material and spacious design.
Unfortunately, the cranberry bag was a conference exclusive gift and will not be available for purchase.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer exchanges for the cranberry bag as it was a limited edition item. However, we do offer a variety of other bags in different colors on our website.
