Are they coming out with holiday minis this year? I don't remember and I need to order more minis but don't want to order them now if minis are due to come out soon. If they're putting them out this year, anyone know when?
 
I wish I knew. I also need to order catalogs but I will be upset if we come out with a mid-season just after I order.
 
Looks like we're all holding off to find out.

We've all done it - just placed a big order for catalogs & mini's - and then the next day they announce the mid-season ones are available now....
 
I just called HO and the operator "went to check". She said that we will be getting mid-season catalogs and minis and they should be announced in October - she thought early...

You're a lifesaver, Beth. I'll hold off on the supply order until Oct. 1. I'll just have to pull catalogs from host packets until then. So much for getting a leg up on host packets.

Now let's pray that the person you spoke with at HO who spoke with the other person actually had their facts straight. ;)
 
Yeah I hope so too! I suggested that they really need to tell us earlier as it's so upsetting to order and then learn the next day there'd be new ones when we could have waited.

I have 35 catalogs and 4 shows in the next week so hopefully they'll let us get the new ones right away!

Argh...I only have a handful of minis left and have a SLEW of invites to get out for my October shows. I REALLLLY don't want to order more until the new minis come out but really, they should be out alreadyyyyyyyyy!!!
 
It seems to me that last year they were available in NOVEMBER. hmmm... let me check my supply order. Well, I ordered holiday minis on Oct. 2 but evidently we didn't have a mid season winter catalog last year as the item number didn't change.

My thought and HOPE is we DO this year and it includes the DCB for guests too - a girl can dream!

Ohhhhh, I'm dreaming right along with you!
 
they will be available and are going to be included in shipment soon, per my NE on a conference call this week.
 
Oh PCJenni, for a moment I thought you meant DCB will be available (to guests again) soon. I was so excited, lol. Then I realized you meant the minis. Poo! LOL

I'm dreaming with you, Beth and Becky! I hope the message from HO was correct with a mid-season catalog and holiday minis and that they didn't mean just a holiday mini. I'd rather that there not be a new product like the surprise Cool & Serve so the DCB being available to everyone would be a wonderful reason for a mid-season catalog. And my last sceptical thought is that it/they had better be available Oct. 1 and not Oct. 15 or later. There was no mid-season catalog last F/W.
 
We can still use the now current catalogs right? I'm a newbie & just got a slew of catalogs.....

Yes. There won't be differences in prices, etc., just some pictures, arrangement and possibly recipes. If there are any suprises there will also be a flyer available.
 
I remember when they used to come out with a handful of products that were available to purchase mid-season.
 
The good thing is that if they do have any new items or changes, it should be in the mini and on a catalog insert so even if you have to buy catalogs now you can still show the new at your parties.
