I want to bounce a few ideas off you all~I am holding a Host Appreciation wine & cheese party this coming Saturday. Do you think it would be better to have premade batter and prep bowl gifts ready to sell, or take orders for those who like the ideas I have out and want to order and make their own gifts?I was going to do the Celebration Cookie mix in the Batter Bowl; some bath salts in the Prep Bowls and the Chocolate Dipped Bamboo Spoons with the Coffee & More Cups and some inexpensive coffee.
I would like to do a few drawings for some extra products I have in my basement~my thoughts are to put the top 5 shows for sales and guests into a drawing; anyone that dates a January show; anyone that sets an interview time....those kind of things.

Any ideas are welcome! For some reason, I just can't think outside of the box today~maybe it is all the dust from the immense job of cleaning my office and den!

bumping for you all to give your opinion on this....can't believe I am having to ASK for someone's opinion~ususally get it no matter what!;)
 
I would just make up one or two of each that you plan to do. Then those that bought first can take them home at the end and the others would get theirs by ______(date) so you have time to prepare them. That way if they don't sell you aren't stuck with them either.
 
Our orders have been shipping so quickly lately! With that being said, I would agree with Beth, have a couple on hand for those who are desperate for something right then or those who order first and just order the rest. It shouldn't take more than a few days to get them in.
