I have three members of my upline flying in to Seattle from Texas to help me with my launch this week. I'm thinking I should get them each some sort of a gift to express my appreciation for them doing this for me, but have no idea what would be appropriate.Any ideas?
TIA!

I was thinking around $50 a piece. That seems a small sum, though, compared to what they're paying for airfare and hotel accomodations. Of course, they're counting on me to explode the business up here in the Northwest!
Thanks for your help (In advance!)

I have a slightly different take on it - I think it's great that you want to give them a gift but on the other hand, there's a great incentive for them to come help you. I think your passion and motivation for building the business should be evident and I'd like to think that it should be thanks enough. At least that's how I feel about what I would do for my recruits.
I guess what I'm saying is - don't worry about getting them something........but if you come across something you think they'd like, that's fine too.

Thank you, Ines. I appreciate your input. Now I'm thinking I'll take us all out to dinner at a fun Seattle place...

I actually had to travel to Seattle several times a few years ago. Went to a place called the Blue Water Grill (I think). It was on the water over looking a marina. Cute place.

I have never been there, but will have to check it out. A place on the water is always great, even when our weather is bad (which it is right now..)
Thanks, ladies, for all of your help. I appreciate it and feel good that I have one less thing to worry about.

I am flying to Boston tomorrow to help launch a friend, and I in no way expect any gift. She is helping me by starting a business, and I am only at DM. I can't imagine RVPs and NVPs who are making great money to expect anything. If you want to take them out to dinner, that is a very generous gesture. Best of luck w/ your lauch!!

Billerica and Burlington. We were stationed at Hanscom AFB up until last year. It will be so nice to go back! I loved living there (hated the traffic though!smileys/smiley2.gif)

I live in Wayland and I work in Cambridge - what a commute!
Pack your hat and mittens - it's going to snow tomorrow.
