Is it Tacky to Use a Company Christmas Party for Self-Promotion?

[SillyChef]

My husbands Company Christmas party is on Friday. We were asked to bring two gifts that were between $10 and $20.00. Well, considering that I am a new consultant in my first Super starter month, I want to get my name out there as a Pampered Chef Consultant. So I thought maybe I could give one of the gifts as a Pampered Chef item with a business card or something. BUT I don't want to be tacky. Is it? What do you all think?

I think it's GREAT, I usually try and keep a $ 20.00 gift certifate on hand for things like this. Often times for the name I put: Winner of PC GC or winner of:

or Happy Holidays.

Good Luck!!!

I don't think it is tacky at all unless it is a "Secret Santa" type of exchange. The name of the game is exposure and that's exactly how to get it done. BTW, I am originally from Porterville (worked in Tulare and Visalia)...your neck of the woods.

Awesome!Well that is a breath of relief. I didn't want to be like rude or anything. It is like a White Elephant type where you get to pass the gift and stuff.

That is really awesome that you are from around here. Kinda makes me feel a little better knowing someone out there knows where I am talking about. My husband works for a company contracted through Tulare County. Though I am originally from Caruthers we had to mover closer due to fog. Ugh.

Thanks for the help!

Last year did the small batter bowl brownie mix for a gift exchange, and it was a HIT!!!!!!

White elephant giftsI love playing this. We had such a blast one year at a church friend's home. The families brought things like a used bowling ball, shower curtains, a bright orange handbag and costume jewelry. Usually with a white elephant gift exchange the idea is to bring something that you have at home that you no longer want, need or couldn't stand as a gift from someone else.
For my homeschool teacher party this year there was a collection of funny things we all passed around. They know I am always going to bring PC items and maybe a yummy box of candies or one year I brought PC items and a GC to starbucks for $5.
You should have seen how they fought for that box!! It makes the game fun and who would want to fight for a shower curtain or an old hand held vacuum cleaner???
If you brought a really nice gift they would fight over it for sure. It's fun to watch!!!

I have a gift exchange with my networking group and I am bringing a round up from the heart trivet wrapped in a microfiber towel. Trivet's pretty and the towel is practical.

That fog is killer in the valley. That is the #1 thing that I SO do not miss. Fog is very rare here. I had to drive in it for 7 yrs when I commuted to Visalia. Talk about white knuckles!

I always loved the Caruthers Fair
