Gifts for Those Who Attend My Host App Night (Han)

[AJPratt]

I need INEXPENSIVE ideas for fabulous gifts to give hosts who attend my HAN. Please, please, please help!!!I want to give them

1) Something when they show up
2) Gift for great show
3) Gift for bringing guest
4) Gift for signing
5) Door prize gift
6) Raffle items

They do not have to be Pampered Chef items. What has been well-received by your group? Or what did you get that you loved?

We did something last year and we did the first 40 people in the door got a free cookbook (which was a season's best of course!) A lot of people do a drawing for something big and then give tickets for the things you mentioned. The more they do the more tickets they get the more chance they have to win that set of cookware (or whatever)!!

I like the Raffle idea.
Maybe you can give more or less tickets depending on what they do.

I did mine as a mystery host and I did tickets as follows:
RSVP for the party by [rsvp date]=1 ticket
Arrive on time=1 ticket
Attend the party=1 ticket
Place an order of $60 or more=2 tickets
Bring an adult guest who didn't get an invite=2 tickets
Bring a paid outside order=2 tickets
Book a Fall Cooking Show=5 tickets
Sign up to be a Consultant=20 tickets

When they arrived, they got the tickets for RSVPing, arriving on time, and bringing a friend. They were all put into a big bowl (I think I used the SA medium bowl). At various times throughout the evening I would draw a ticket and give them a prize of an extra product I had on hand. (I can't remember what I gave them.)

At one point in the evening I gave everyone a goodie bag with an Opportunity brochure, a recipe card for the Sticky Cakes, a seasoning sample, and a TwixIt clip. I know my director did Bamboo Tongs at hers.

I made a few new fall recipes in advance (my party was in August, so it was a preview). For my "demo" I just went around the room and asked everyone what their favorite PC product was, is it easy to use and clean, and would they recommend it to everyone. I've never sold so many Colander/Bowl sets at one show!

Then I took orders and gave the extra tickets at that time. They all went into the bowl with the earlier tickets and then I drew 2 to split the host benefits.

It was a great time and a $900 show!

You know, I make loaves of bread and give them away at bridal or baby showers as gifts/prizes. They are always wooed over, and so cheap to make- just flour, water and yeast! You could do loaves (I do full size loaves so it is a big prize) for everyone, then do your extra products for the category prizes.

Actually, food would be a perfect gift. Make a big batch of cookies or something and wrap them up on SA squares or even on plastic plates from the dollar store. Use colored cellophane and a lot of ribbon and they'll be very impressive.

Do any of the Batter Bowl gifts in the small batter bowl from a few years ago. I'll attach the various recipes. This could be one of the bigger things to raffle off. I'm planning on making this one of my raffle items at a booth I'm doing in December. Tie a nice pretty bow around it. There are also gift tags you can attach so the recipient knows what to do with it once they get it home. I'll attach the one for the brownies. FYI, this is still on CC under "enhance your show" and the fall 2003 recipes
