I mentioned that I am giving my roommates pillow gifts and because they may be on CS I can't post what they are. I have had PM's asking about it so I thought I'd post it here behind the apron in case any of you would like this information to help with ideas.



Day 1: 2 other roommates (I still need one!): pampering package (lotion, shower soap, manicure kit), my consultant: a small book with inspirational sayings called "hope! dream!" (got it at Target) and an angel suncatcher that says "follow your dreams".

Day 2: hens (I have beanie hens - PC's old logo) for all 3 and my consultant will also get a pin that says "believe" and wood magnets (they can also be put on a shelf) that say "believe" and "dream".

Day 3: all 3 get a keychain calculator, one gets a small notepad that says "dream big", another gets a magnet that says "believe" and my consultant gets a dreamcatcher charm and magnets that say "believe", "imagine" and "love" (it's a set).

I also have a plaque that says: "Dream - create your dream and live it" that I'm giving my consultant as well as a team t-shirt and the conference binder with the leather cover from Franklin Covey. I don't usually go that crazy but we were sure that she was promoting this year. I decided to give her all those things as encouragement - she still needs to believe that she can do it!

I have them all packaged in clear bags.

Oh, I forgot: I have "consultant tool boxes" for each of them. A plastic index card holder with dividers where they can put tips to help them with their businesses. Got that idea from cheffers!
 
Wow Beth! I am not doing anything that elaborate. My Consultants have received a Vera Bradley book cover with notebook from me for their commitment to attend. Remember I purchased those at a huge outlet sale? I am working on a little something at conference and I am taking them out to lunch when we get to Chicago.

You are a lot more creative than I am!
 
We did the "consultant tool boxes" at a meeting, it was great!
I do have a ring with index cards on it for each of them. I was thinking small enough to carry and easy enough to use!
Thanks again!

I'm doing the CTB's at my next meeting too but these people won't be there and I thought it would be perfect for conference too!

I got some good deals but I still spent too much - you know how it is when you find a little something today, and then the next day, and next month...

I don't think your consultants should expect anything more - that VB book cover is enough! I did send my consultant a PC travel bag (it's the clear plastic one with the bottles that's on Merrill) when she registered for Conference but that's all I sent her so far.
