Gifts for consultants attending?

[Happy Chef]

Do you personally give any? If so have you decided on any yet? Are you cutting back because of the economy?

I do have gifts. Last year I did different pillow gifts each night. This year I will have one gift bag on the first night with lots of goodies in it. I gift to everyone in my room whether they're on my team or not but those on my team get some extras. I'm not saying because I don't want them to see what they are getting (some are on CS). I collect all year so the expense doesn't hit at once.

I normally do the conference survival kit & then this year I think I'm going to treat them to dinner unless I can come up with something else.........

So what type of goodies do you do??

I'm going to bath & body works to get sample size lotion & hand gel & I'll put that in a pretty bag w/some ribbon.....

I gave them something small each night last year (most things were under $5 in cost). They loved the little surprises each night. I did a dream/believe theme so most things had one of those words on them - notepad, picture frame, necklace...

This year I am giving them a goody package the first night and that's it. I called it a "first aid" package. It has several different things in it that they might find a need for during conference. I don't want to say what because they are on CS and this is not Behind The Apron. I have one person in my room who is on my team. I have an extra gift in her package for her and I will take her out for dinner or lunch one day too. I also did a conference binder for her. I didn't make one for my other roommates because I didn't want to over step what their directors might do.
