A friend called last night and needs a GC by Tuesday. However; she doesn't want her sister to have to order online from company. She wants her just to be able to call me within a week of birthday and let me know what she wants. So I thought of printing some Pampered Chef money with the her sister's name on it and putting only redeemable by me.
What do ya'll think?
Have any of you done something similar?

If you do a search under files you will find several gift certificates. Beth Brigham has posted several that I like. Here is what I have from ones I've made and the ones Beth posted back in April.

Thanks Ginger,
I let my friend picked the design she wanted for her SIL. I printed it on card stock. I then printed redeeming indtructions on back and enclosed it with a catalog and Going.. going.. gone flyer in a pleastic document holder. Holder cost .86. I made a note,the holder was a gift from me to put her PC past, present and Future PC receipts in. The holder is also sturdy enough for wrapping.

They ordered $125 pampered dollars, which will be redemmed by 7/31/05. It is goign on first party for August. On back of reeeming information I stated pick free cookbook (listed) for ordering $50 or more.

Thanks
Charlene

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I consider when planning a birthday request for my friend?

When planning a birthday request for your friend, consider their interests, favorite colors, and any specific themes they enjoy. Additionally, think about their lifestyle and whether they would appreciate practical gifts or something more sentimental. It's also helpful to know if they have any dietary restrictions or preferences if you're planning a food-related celebration.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into a birthday request?

You can incorporate Pampered Chef products by suggesting a cooking or baking theme for the celebration. Consider asking for items like kitchen tools, cookbooks, or even hosting a Pampered Chef party where friends can contribute to a group gift. This way, your friend can enjoy high-quality kitchenware while celebrating their special day.

What are some creative ideas for a birthday request using Pampered Chef?

Some creative ideas include organizing a virtual cooking class using Pampered Chef products, creating a themed gift basket filled with their favorite kitchen tools and ingredients, or planning a surprise dinner party where you use Pampered Chef recipes. You could also suggest a gift card for a Pampered Chef party so they can choose their own items.

How do I approach my friend about their birthday request?

Approach your friend casually by expressing your excitement about their upcoming birthday. You can ask if they have any specific requests or if there's something they’ve been wanting. This opens the door for them to share their preferences without feeling pressured. Be supportive and offer suggestions based on what you know they like.

What if my friend has everything they need for their birthday?

If your friend seems to have everything they need, consider gifting them an experience instead of a physical item. This could be a cooking class, a dining experience, or a fun day out. Alternatively, you could create a personalized gift, such as a scrapbook of memories or a custom recipe book featuring their favorite dishes, which adds a sentimental touch.
