Women's Retreat Goody Bag: A Thoughtful (and Affordable) Gift Idea

[ChefJWarren]

I have been given the opportunity to include a PC item in our church's women's retreat goody bags. There will be about 50 women . What would be a good (cheap) item to include? I want it to be a gift more than an advertisement (although I will have my info on it!!) .

What about all three of our new recipe cards tied up with a bow? You could include a coupon (redeemable through you only) for a discount if they call and place an order within 30 days.

Or, the pan scraper with the poem about all of the uses.

Depends on how much $$ you want to spend. It would be about $30 if you wanted to give them each a SB. (Stamp your info inside the front flap!)

I think a SB would be a great idea... you could even make up a flyer/sticker with info about hosting a show and a coupon for a free show or a discount coupon like kelly suggested.

For my sister and SIL's double baby shower, I made favors with the small bamboo spoons tied with little organza bags filled with pink and blue M&Ms (sis had a boy, SIL had a girl). I put a personalized tag on it with their names and the date of the shower, with a "recipe for moms" on the back. You could do something similar with just one bamboo spoon and a note tied to it (or your business card with a cute saying on the back). I'm not creative with the sayings - I steal them - but I'm sure you can find something cute! GL!

OOH! I love the recipe card idea because its cheap!!! I could also tie a package of Roll O's to the cards as a starter to the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownie recipe. Plus women all love chocolate!!

One time when the HO came to do an opportunity event they gave out SB with one bamboo spoon with colorful raffia (sp?) tied to it, other SB had a citrus peeler (you can put a label on the plastic bag with your info.)

I really like this idea. That is great.

What about making little samples with our seasonings and type up a recipe to use that sample for? You can get the little bags to put the seasoning in and then tie them off with a ribbon. That would not be very expensive. You could also add the recipe cards to them if you wanted.

I am curious what your "recipe for moms" was. All my friends are beginning to have kids...glad it's them and not me!!!! I would love to us this for the showers I have coming up!

Decided!! I'm going to do Warm Nutty Caramel Brownie recipe card tied with package of Roll O's and Tangy Pepper Pecan Brie recipe card tied with jalepeno (in plastic bag, of course!). I think they'll love it!
