A week or so ago I saw a post in the demonstrator forum asking if other demos give their hostesses discounts or gifts. Here is a typical sample of what I give a hostess as a way to thank her for hosting a workshop.
The bucket is from the $1 Spot at Target (don't you just love that store?!) and I've simply covered it with DSP and added some ribbon to the handle. The original idea came from: Lisa's Gift by kellyjg at Splitcoaststampers. Included in the bucket is a beaded pen, a Post-It note holder, a tri-fold card, a frappe bottle (to be filled with candy or jellybeans) and an ink pad. The total cost of this was maybe $7 to make but the WOW factor is priceless. I've had 2 guests from previous workshops book with me just so they could learn how to make some of the items I include!

Wow----if I lived in your area and was not a demo--I'd sure book a party---this sure puts my gifts to shame!!!!

Thanks for sharing! This is great! Do you present your hostess with her gift during the workshop so that all the guest's see it??? I always wonder how do you do this without feeling awkward...thanks again for sharing!
