How about just demoing your top 3 favorite tools that are easy to pack, and then do a catalog walk-through. Start by asking the Host or a guest what their favorite product is (or if they don't own any yet, what their #1 Wishlist item is)- then talk about that product with enthusiasm ("Oh, I love that product because...." or something like that). Then cross-sell! Mention a product that goes great with that item(s) and why, etc. After 1 or 2 rabbit-trail products, then ask another guest about THEIR favorite, and so on. Make sure you ask them why they love it or what they use it for.

I'd just do a "catty walk through" since it can be difficult to take much with you, unless you can find someone in the area.I plan to do a ton of cooking for my cousin and her DH while I am out there next week .... it would be AWESOME if somebody would lend me a DCB but meanwhile, I plan to adapt the recipes to go in their skillets and oven, saying, "This would be nice if we had ....." so maybe by the end of the week they'll want it.

Products you COULD take with if you wanted to have a few things - these are ones that are small, and would take up very little space!UM (folds flat) , Garlic Peeler/Slicer, Mix-n-Chop, Pineapple Wedger, Salad Chopper, small metal sheet pan (so they feel how heavy they are!), some rubs, a Season's Best.
