I think it's interesting that it's presented as a gift for your neighbor though. I don't know about you, but that would be a very nice gift for someone I know and love. I don't throw money around like that.

You would if YOUR neighbors all lived in million dollar condos :) It'd be pocket change to you then! :)
 
And secondly, how would you hand it to your neighbor like that with the pedestal that detaches? LOL I mean, I really love the idea of it as a gift, but it may be awkward to hand it to someone and then say "oh yeah, and here's the detachable pedestal!" ;)

That was my thought too! Also, what about the lid?! Those are the best features of our Trifle Bowl.
 
I watched a rerun of the show and didn't see where it was mentioned that the gift bowl was given to the audience. I only saw that the box of garden goodies were given away.

On this link, it shows that the Trifle Bowl is from Pampered Chef. However, how many people go to this site vs. watching the show. Very frustrating.
Actually, I have it on very good authority that an average of 7 million people watch the show daily and the website gets 2.9 million hits per day.
 
hmmmm, so did anyone at NC share how many of these puppies sold as individual orders in the days after the show?

would be interesting to know what that 'product placement' translated to in terms of $ :)
