Twix-ing the Prize: How Many do You Give?

[gilliandanielle]

I even thought of it myself unlike 99% of "my" other ideas!

I just had a vision of the TB layered with Christmas balls. (It's okay. I'm prepared for all the jokes. Let the merriment begin!)

 

[gilliandanielle]

I am sure it will be okay until KG gets here!!

I buy those little "snack" ziplock baggies and split the twixit's up in those and put those in my rectangle woven selection. That's what I put my prizes in. You don't know what they may already have so I put those in it, SB, recipe cards, scrapers and the quikut paring knives. I figure that's a large enough selection to choose from.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to his 2 cents, but I'm a little scared, too. I like it.

Or me! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!


Rae, how do you know this Chris, that you have his balls?

 

[raebates]

Actually, my husband's name is Chris.

 

[gilliandanielle]

LOL! My DH's name is Chris too!!

 

[chefann]

So I walked right into your set-up, huh?

 

[gilliandanielle]

Way to go, Ann! LOL!

 

[raebates]

Glad to oblige, Ann.

 

[chefann]

Am I that predictable, that you knew I'd be all over that?

 

[raebates]

Not predictable, just well-known and well-loved.

I have started making little sample packets of the spices. I include the recipe idea's on the spice bottle and enough spice to make one of the recipes. I use cute scrapbook paper to mount the recipe on, then stick it on the self sealing cello bag. They really have been a big hit, They go before any of my other prizes! And they are cheap to make!! I figure that the spice they sample will be so great that it will turn into a repeat buy! I think they are more likely to want to buy more spices over more scrapers or paring knives!

I love this!!!

Lisa,

How do you handle the smell of the gylcerin? I cant stand it, even when you add scents. I used to make soap in highschool.

 

[raebates]

Okay, Cheffers, yesterday I finally got to take my basket of pretty door prizes to a show. Big hit! Everyone oohed and ahhed over them. It's amazing what a difference a little cellophane and ribbon can make.Thanks so much for all your ideas.BTW, great show--just under (19 cents!) $800, with 5 bookings!

 

[Jilleysue]

Isn't it great...Everyone loves a gift to un wrap..hehehe.

Soaps - answer for Cookingfool......

Lisa,

How do you handle the smell of the gylcerin? I cant stand it, even when you add scents. I used to make soap in highschool.

Well frankly with the gylcerin, I've never noticed a "scent" which is wierd 'cause I'm sensitive to everything. Maybe the one I buy doesn't have a terrible scent.

I'm also going to be getting out my old retired heart mold and making my pink soaps for my May hostesses for having a heart to Help Whip Cancer.

I love the soaps and so do my kids, and every hostess I've given it to, laugh and say, they have special look only soaps and NOT use, to which I say, USE them and make your own.

I did have a couple of women buy the classic batter bowl, self sharpening utility knife, cutting board, crinkle cutter and the bread tube just because I showed them at a show, in addition to their regular order, so that was a nice addition.
