I am doing my first expo the day before Mother's day & am doing some gift baskets to sell with jars, coffee cups with fresh coffee votives & small bag of coffee, oil burners & simmer pots with melts, plug ins with melts, melts in smaller bags, cappucino cups with hot chocolate & chocolate kiss votive.

What other ideas do y'all have... ... what have others done at expos & craft shows. I need some more ideas....
thanks

I don't know how much time you want to put into it... but the votive roses go well for some. There's a girl on my team that does beautiful arrangements with them. She even makes topiaries with the votive roses... (I'm just not that crafty!)

She also has different sized baskets that she allows people to create their own gift baskets according to the $ they want to spend and the scents they like.

I'd also think that the pies & bella buns might be a hit as a gift for mom! Especially on a cute little plate or cast iron skillet.

Good luck! I bet your show will be very successful with our great products for moms!

Thanks Angie,
I am not sure if I have time to make the roses this time... but I did order some Victorian Rose votives... I figured maybe somewould like rose scent for Mothers day. Create your own basket is a great idea.
I'm getting both nervous & excited...... this is my first one.....

I learned at my first couple of shows...you dont want to have TOO much...because people are excited to see the entire expo..and if you have too much they will lose interest and move on.

Good luck Judy, I hope you do great!!
