You may have something there because the old SB are VALUABLE COLLECTORS ITEMS!! I give an old one away when I want people to HOST a show and I tell them that I will give it to them at their show (I get everyone in attendance to sign it and write a note on it.) They love that.ljeffries said:Either an old SB, citrus peeler, or a QK. I am thinking of going even cheaper and giving a Twixit!

cathyskitchen said:Now, I just buy a bunch of twixits in the beginning of the season, and fill one of those twixit clip containers (from supply) with them, so they can see the colors.
DebbieSAChef said:I started giving a coupon that reads:
Thank you for coming! As a thank you gift please accept one of the following for helping the hostess reach her goal:
FREE Season's best with order
or
FREE shipping with $60 or more order
or
FREE cooking show at your home!
I haven't had a guest this year come and not place an order!! I used to give a free gift sometimes and they would just leave with their citrus peeler or SB and then come to other shows for FREE stuff and not order stuff. It was shameful. Now with this coupon, I make sure they understand that this is a party to order something. Not that I am forcing everyone to order at all my shows with my forged cutlery at the exit, LOL
but I want people to know I am generous to my CUSTOMERS. Not freeloaders! LOL

GeorgiaPeach said:I use twixits but put them in the 1.5 qt exec saucepan. That way I can talk about cookware again. I always get their attention when I pick up the saucepan while saying "I have a little gift for you"...their eyes get big thinking I'm giving away cookware. Everyone laughs and I say that PC pays well by not THAT well for me to give away cookware. I get to sprinkle in some recuiting seeds and booking seeds ("I'm not giving you the cookware but you can get it 60% off this month when you host a show.")
At first I worried that people would think a twixit was a sorry gift but everyone loves them!
By free cooking show do you mean you provide all of the ingredients? If you do this at every show wouldn't you always have to buy the ingredients?DebbieSAChef said:I started giving a coupon that reads:

Addie4TLC said:Good one! It's a win, win!! Especially now that there has been no gift with purchase this would help a lot. Do you have a copy of the coupon?
DebbieSAChef said:I
Besides I only provide the ingredients for the main dish, which is usually a braid, ring or wreath. I wish my hosts were more creative!!
Which I can make in my sleep and I bring ingredients from home (I buy in bulk) so it's really cheap for me.

vwpamperedchef said:an old seasons best that i got from conference ( i have about 15 of the same version) and im so generous, i give on to the person and one to the guest. lol
dannyzmom said:I give an old Season's Best with a sticker inside that reads "Compliments of your Pampered Chef Director & Trainer..." followed by my information.
I used to give a Twixit and then had a host about 2 years ago who is also a good friend of mine, gently tell me she overheard her guests fussing that it was a cheap gift (ouch).So, now at NC I get old SB's from the surprise boxes and use those...and each season I stock up on SBs to save for down the road...
stacywhitlow said:I let the guest & their friend pick either a pan scraper or twixit from the stainless mixing bowl. I have curling ribbon tied in the thumb hole. I give either a SB or Mini-spatula as my door prize. I give the host one SA small bowl with 1 packet of Chipotle ranch & 1 mini bamboo spoon all tied in a bag with curling ribbon. I also give gifts for booking one of my next 4-5 dates...citrus peeler, bamboo tongs, miniwhipper, qkparing knife...slips are in a plastic easter egg & they choose one egg when they pick that date. Then they get that prize. I average 1 booking for them & then others for later dates. I offer all guests at checkout recipe cards. I make sure my info is on them.
RossDeb2 said:Debbie, do you buy the SB through supplies or do you purchase it under the host discount at the show?
"What's Your Creative Gift" is a feature on the Pampered Chef website that helps you come up with unique and personalized gift ideas for your friends and family. It offers suggestions based on their interests and preferences, making gift giving easier and more meaningful.
One way to make gift giving cheap and hilarious is to get creative with DIY gifts. You can make personalized mugs, candles, or even baked goods that are both inexpensive and funny. Another option is to do a white elephant gift exchange with a group of friends, where you can find quirky and funny items at thrift stores or dollar stores.
There are many options for what you can give your friend as a gift with the Nancy's stamp. Some ideas include a small kitchen gadget, a set of recipe cards, or a sample of one of our popular products. You can also get creative and make a homemade gift, such as a jar of homemade spice mix or a set of hand-stamped kitchen towels.
One way to be cheap with gift giving is to set a budget for each person and stick to it. You can also look for deals and discounts, such as using coupons or shopping during sales. Additionally, consider making homemade gifts or giving experiences instead of physical items, which can often be more cost-effective.
To make gift giving hilarious, think outside the box and choose gifts that will make the recipient laugh. You can also incorporate inside jokes or funny memories into the gift. Another idea is to give a gift that is unexpected or unconventional, such as a novelty item or a quirky piece of decor.
