Dear Consultant:

We wanted to make you aware that some of your hosts’ orders which were shipped from Sept. 18 to 25 may have included a Bamboo Square Bowl that was not ordered or earned. While this error has been resolved, we realize it may cause your hosts some confusion.

If your hosts contact you about this, please tell them that a shipping error occurred, and The Pampered Chef would like them to keep the Bamboo Square Bowl with our compliments.

Not yet, but I'm going to call her right away. Just to let her know.
 
Dang! Wish I had submitted a show and got that on accident!!

I agree, though...they continue to amaze me with their generosity sometimes!
 
I got the same email - but no show shipped at those dates - we all must be getting them ! Too cool for the hosts!
 
I thought it was awesome too!
Good timing with the email too; a host of mine just got her stuff today & wondered why she got this bowl!
 
I think that is pretty cool of PC to do that. All of my shows that I have submitted this month have shipped between the 19th and 25th. Hmmm.....
