Idea for Getting November Bookings

[riggs62]

I'm presenting these at a meeting tomorrow, as a gift idea (especially with the SA on sale). Has anyone sold a "kit" done up (mug with a bag of mix and instructions, wrapped)? If so, what did you charge? I was thinking $15, if it included a mini bamboo spoon tied into the bow. $10 is a nice even amount, but it barely covers cellophane and ribbon on top of the cup.

I would pay $15 for that! Can I place an order?

giggle... I like $15, because there's still profit in that number, to cover my time to combine and measure out the mix, bag it, and wrap the whole thing. Not to mention ribbon, cello, baggie, cake mix, pudding mix... And if I get a roll of nice fabric ribbon, it will look really classy.

$15 sounds fair.

Did you use the small or big box of instant pudding?

I mixed the 4-serving size instant pudding with a standard cake mix. And got 8 baggies of mix from that (1/2 cup each). So I put 2 bags of mix into the mug and wrapped it in cellophane. It's so cute!

It just occured to me that this single-serving approach could also be used with fat free "No Pudge" brownie mix. Not sure if it's available everywhere, but I get it at Trader Joe's. There's instructions right on the pink box for single-serv microwaving.

Ann, what else could you use besides the mug?

Not Ann - but I do know you can also use the small square bowls, or the small dots bowls, too.

Thank you!

I printed the flyer posted on another thread here on post cards and told my guests at my show last night about the great gift idea. They loved it. Only one bought the bowls though.
I am doing a gift bazzar soon and I might do up a couple of these because they are easier than the batter bowl mixes.

Ann do you use the fabric like you would use the celephane?

Anything that holds 2 cups would work - Small Bowls, mugs, dots small bowls. I did one up in a white small bowl, because I was out of cellophane and it fit into a clear gift bag I had. If I have a chance, I'll take a pic of them before I head out to my meeting tonight.Jennifer, I'm not using fabric, but you could. I'm using nice fabric ribbon on them - it's more substantial than curling ribbon.
