Great Idea!!
You can use them as give aways at your shows. That would be neat for them to win old PC products and get them to order the new items as well. Try to do a number raffle. Number some lunch bags and then make some corresponding index cards. Then depending on:
How much they order.
If they book a show
If they bring an outside order
If they promise to bring you outside orders
Come on time
Wear a red dress, etc
you can let them draw an index card and give away prizes!! You can use those items for the prize drawing slip also.

i received a pack of season's best cookbook s/s 2001. two small cookbooks - 1 for pizza's 1 for ???, last years fall table runner, placemats, towels, (I bought the napkins last year to show how to do napkin foldings) battery operated flour shifter, wooden bakers roller, 3 bread tubes, kids apron, something else but can't remember (and right now, I am noting getting to look - it's been a very long day - my daughter had to have 3 teeth removed surgerly(???). I loved getting the table runner and stuff. It will look great on my kitchen island with all pieces together - I just don't have the napkin rings.

Don't do itMy girlfirend and I attended conference last year and spent a ton on the boxes......we sent home a ton of "hostess" gifts as most of the items were duplicates. How many bread tubes can you have. This year we have promised not to spend and to save that money for the new fall products. We could have bought the entire new line of PC with the money we spent on boxes!

I traded to get the bread tubes! I REALLY wanted all the different shapes! I got the old wooden handled baker's roller and all purpose spreader. I ended up with 2 crocks-the plain one and a cornflower blue one...couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard I tried! I tried to use one as a pen holder in my office, but it's too deep. My sister loves blue, maybe I should give it to her...I also got a magic mop that I was really excited about but have yet to use. I traded for the ice shaver that I've never used, too...I don't know if I will buy a surprise box again this year...what I was REALLY hoping for (and if anyone has one that they're not using) was the SA Hospitality set. Anything SA would have made me happy but they're apparently not just giving that stuff away! It was fun, though...
