Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but here goes...
I read in our community paper that they are going to start doing Welcome Baskets for new people who move to the area and I was thinking that it would be a great thing to get in on. I am trying to think of something inexpensive that I could offer to add to the basket and attach my card to. What would you put in?
Thanks!
Kandi
 
Mini catalog with an "insert" offering 10% off on an order, or FREE ingredients for a show....Put into a cellophane wrapper with a quickut knife and close off with a Twixit!

That may be expensive, depending upon how many you will need to do. You could change it up depending on that!
 
the stoneware scraper with the 70 uses for it-here in files. they r only 4.50 for 10 cdn that is

Thank you ladies! Those are both great ideas, I was at total loss!:)
 
Two ideasEither the citrus peeler, you could add your card inside the plastic bag it comes in.
Or the Season's best and just attach a label with your info to the book or tape your card to the inside.

These are very inexpensive and would be a great addition to any welcome basket. You could also add an inexpensive recipe card.

I agree with the Season's Best (with your contact info in it for sure!) - and a welcome note - and maybe an offer for a discount.
