My daughters school is having a fundraiser on the 24th. Basically they are eliminating possibly having our children sell wrapping paper or books this year. This fundraiser is a silent auction, dance, food etc. Sounds like alot of fun. They are asking parents to contribute something, whether sports tickets, hair cuts etc. I would love to contribute something PC but need some ideas they are looking for big ticket items because 100% of the proceeds would go to the school. I'm not very creative so having a hard time thinking what to give and how to present + funds are tight so can't give away too much. All ideas are welcomed please help.
 
I would do a gift basket and utilize the outlet as much as possible, if not completely. Then I'd put a card/coupon or something in it offering them a free holiday show or that you will purchase the host special for them or some type of other free gift for hosting. I'm doing something similar for a fundraiser group in November so they can earn money over our PC sales.
 
Free cooking show!

I was thinking of putting together a Bakers Basket since it's time for Holiday baking soon and throwing in a gift certificate for a FREE Cooking Show.
 
Or a gift certificate at least. Maybe free cooking show with so much of the show going to the school too? Definitely hit the outlet!!
 
I did a retired Tool Turn About with lots of small items from the outlet and our supply order form. I wrapped it like an Easter Basket to keep hands out of it.

I love the idea of booking a show and part going back to the school as well! I will definitly add that to the gift certificate. Thank you! I'm checking out the outlet today.
 
These are great ideas. I'm trying to put together a basket for a school's silent auction too. Keep em coming in!!
 
Here is some wording you can put on a gift certificate:$30 off on a Pampered Chef order with consultant C.Point, #693242.
(smaller print) this coupon must be redeemed by [about 3 months out] Then in ITALIC font, When you call to redeem this coupon, ask how you can turn it into $100+ in free and discounted Pampered Chef products by hosting a fun easy cooking show at your home or work. It's like a mini-vacation with friends, where you all get to eat, chat -- and SHOP! And you benefit from free shopping, items at half price, all items at a discount, free shipping for you, and a 10% discount for a calendar year!
