One of the best ideas I heard at National Conf. last year was to give your new consultant 4 hostess packs, so she could give them to his/her hosts without having to wait for the kit. I also make sure to give them a copy of "What to Do While Waiting for Your Kit To Arrive" (I'm pretty sure there is a copy in the files on this board) so they have everything in order when the kit arrives and they can hit the ground running.

I give new consultants host packets for their first shows and the checklist that I am attaching to this post as well as a list of 100 flyer. At the first meeting I give them a pin that says "The Pampered Chef" so they have something to wear when out and about. It's a great conversation starter to wear PC logo things...

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some essential items to give my new consultants?
