Our man's products got me thinking. We have a lack of men's products in home parties for obvious reasons--men do not particularly like home parties. Is there anything that we women buy that we cannot get at a home party. I'm drawing a blank.

Music...I don't know exactly in what format I'm talking about, but you're told to sell what you have a passion for, and there's nothing out there for that passion. I know there's Kindermusik, but I'm talking about for grown-ups.

Can't think of anything else right now...

Ok, this is far fetched, but how about tools? I know of no in home party plan that sells screwdrivers and wrenches. Maybe if there was one, we cou ld get our men to participate. Ok, just let me go for a min, bear with me, we all know how remodeling and home improvement shows have changed our, well at least my outlook on home projects, I am in no way handy what so ever, so what if there was an in home party plan that offered tools to help with remodeling and workshops to teach ppl like me how to, I know the market is outdone by the big wigs like HD or Lowes, but anyways, just a thought.......... LOL! Sorry sometime I just run with things!
Have an AWESOME ONE!

Besides Tomboy Tools, I have heard of one that sells garden tools, but I can't find a website for it.

I LOVE plants. I've never heard of plants being sold at home parties!

Can you imagine transporting that kind of sample kit? http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

There are lots of mail order plant/seed/bulb companies. I'm surprised someone hasn't translated that into a party plan!!

SHOES!!!!!! I am a shoe freak and haven't heard of a party plan selling shoes. WE NEED A SHOE PARTY PLAN!!!! Well, maybe not JUST shoes. My ideal party plan would be shoes, clothes, purses and jewelry!!!!! And for ALL SIZES!! If I was rich I would SO be starting that!

I love the shoe idea!! Most of us are suckers for a new pair :) I know I always want more!!

Here's the one for shoes. Girls, I'm telling you, if there's a party plan out there I pretty much know about it. http://forum.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif



eta: I'm not sure if they're still in biz, not much of an online presence, but their site is still there.Edited by: missyroth

Plants?!?! Mine would be dead before I got to hostess' door. LOL

Is there one for organization products. I know there is Tupperware for the kitchen, but I would like to see something like The Container Store (http://www.containerstore.com (http://www.containerstore.com)).

Missy - Do you know of a company? :)

ETA: Iam also a stationery junkie. I would love to see something with a line of stationary (paper, notes, pens, pencils, markets, push pins, sticky notes, etc.). Only I don't want to pay big bucks...just something fun and affordable. It doesn't have to be hand made. I'm happy with what I can fill my basket with at Target or even The Dollar Tree.Edited by: LorettaA

Okay, Loretta...unfair...you're testing me. The closest thing I can think of is some of the baskets Longaberger and Signature Homestyles carries (probably some of the other home companies, too...I'm not leaving anyone out on purpose!!!). I seem to remember something about organization a long time ago, but it was more like personal organization - like a day-planner kind of thing. Now I'm going to have to go look...

A Container Store type would be awesome. I like to pretend that I'm organized. http://forum.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

Yup, Tomboy Tools has tools for women that are ergonomically-designed to fit a woman's hands. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifAfter joining, and not getting the correct info from my sponsor, I decided not to continue with it. But it isquite the niche!

Here's a few of the catagories mentioned that I found:

I love research!

Awesome, Rachel! I love research, too. I remember hearing of Clever Containerbefore, but it's been a while.

See, direct sales covers just about everything!!

Never heard of the shoe one, but...
www.domesticplanner.com (http://www.domesticplanner.com) has organizing containers
I immediately thought of www.plantmakers.com (http://www.plantmakers.com) for the plants--they do have a few plants, plus other accessories for plants.
I thought there were stationary, but both seem to be gone as far as party plans. I thought of www.pattygaledesigns.com (http://www.pattygaledesigns.com) and www.psiloveyoucards.com (http://www.psiloveyoucards.com) Patty disappeared from that site and ps i love you doesn't seem to be an opportunity anymore.
