Hi all, I need some help/advice. I just signed up to do a Holiday Botique at a school on Dec 9th. I have a /poss2 before that, but I have never done any of these before (i'm in ss3). The event organizer suggested that I have merchandise ready to sell(the "fee" is a 20% on sales). Am I allowed to do this? If so, what would it be? I was thinking batter bowls filled with some gadgets? Small stones? I would think that items under $20.00 would work. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks as always for the help!!!
 
b/c it's a holiday botique i'd try to make the stalkings with the trivit's that pc showed in the consultant news.. and the gifts to go in the batter bowls i've read here have been a real big hit.. i've never done one but really thought the stalkings were a cute idea.. GOOD LUCK I just got my ss3 today it was so nice showing hubby what i got for free :)
 
Hi there! Congrats on signing up for the Holiday Boutique! It's always exciting to participate in these types of events. Regarding your question about selling merchandise, it's best to check with the event organizer to see if there are any restrictions on what you can sell. If they have suggested having merchandise ready, then it seems like it's allowed. As for what to sell, it's a good idea to have a variety of items in different price ranges. The batter bowls with gadgets and small stones sound like great options for under $20.00. You could also consider holiday-themed items like ornaments or candles. It's also a good idea to have some higher-priced items for those who might be looking for more expensive gifts. Good luck with the event!
