I was thinking of ordering something from Merrill Corp for my recruits during the holidays like a coffee mug or a water bottle. Has anyone ever got something for their recruits?
 
My director orders business cards for them to start out with.
 
I get my downline cooking themed ornaments every year........
 
I give them all a notepad from Merrill when they sign. I haven't given them qualifying gifts, but I should. Bad me.

I got a deal on some Mary Kay Satin Hands sets and that is what I'm giving them for the holidays. A little something to pamper themselves!
 
colleen, if it's between those two I'd prefer the water bottle b/c it's free adv. when you carry it around but then again i guess a coffee mug would be the same if you had a desk job but i'd think people might get more use of the water bottle... just my opinion

the rest of the gift's you ladies give out are great! I'm still with out bus. cards and end up handing out catalog's instead, which is adding up! I wish my director gave something, i didn't even recieve an email! ~tiffanyp
 
I would suggest business cards or maybe something from Nancy's that they could use. Many consultants don't have a bank bag-they have those on the merrill site for just a few bucks a piece., or maybe some pc dollars...
 
When my recruits qualify, I take their apron to a lady near my town and have their name embroidered for them. They really seem to like it. They tell me then their guests don't have ot guess what their name is....

Just and idea.
