Crop Goodie Bag Question

If you have ever gone to a fundraising crop (I have only been to one that cost more than $20 and they had gifts) - even if not

How does this sound for a gift bag? Food/snacks are donated, so is the site. Actually, gifts will be as well, but I am to assemble within a set amount.

I was thinking - two methods, but below are the items they would receive

3 pages coordinating patterned paper
2 pages of matching cardstock
1 sheet of letter stickers (many newbie scrappers)
1 yard of ribbon
3 embellishments (3-d or layered)
12 x 12 plastic bag or holder thing (depends on price)
2 pre-made journal items (flat)
stamp of some type (probably not acrylic unless I find a good deal on blocks) Maybe even the $1 alphabet sets from Studio G/Target if I get lucky shopping.

Distribution
I could pre-assemble all of these items and put into bags, but that is so "standard".

I was thinking of a line - get your holder item, then choose your own for all of the above - I would just make little signs that say how many of each.

If you were at a crop, which would you prefer? I have done both and the pre-assemble is quicker (maybe just make pre-assemble bags and they pick those?)

thanks for your help

I think the pre-assembled is nice, especially with newbie scrapbookers.

Sounds nice and I would probably go the pre-assembled way too.

Glad to hear it - much easier for me - everything in a packet. Just wanted to see what others thought Thanks

Took a while, but I have it figured out. $$ is tighter once we figured the food budget (fresh veggies and all aren't cheap, but I know we have a lot of people who want them), so I had $1.50 per person for a gift. If I use a few of my scraps to make some embellishments - what do you think:

1) I found these papers (We R Memory Keepers Old Glory Collection)

2) two pieces of coordinating blue cardstock (doublemates ocean blue)

3) 8 star brads (just regular bazzill brads)

4) I am die cutting letters from the same doublemates cardstock - keystone cartridge - two sets of alpha's plus additional r, s, t, l, n, e

5) making two layered embellishments from Independence day cartridge - making one paperclip embellishment as well (providing I remember to pick up glue dots - can't believe I have forgotten them twice).

Anyway - if I make some pieces - I can keep cost close to the level we need - does that sound like a nice gift pack? I plan to put everything into a 2 gallon ziploc and make some little card or something to attach the baggie of letters, brads and embellishments.

sounds nice-I'd be happy

It sounds great, love the paper you found!!!

That paper is adorable and it is so nice of you to make the embellishments. I would be thrilled to receive all that.

Here's an idea: what about making a sample layout from the goodie bag to show newbies some ideas? I don't know if you have any extra suppplies.

Great idea - If I have time, I will do that.

I didn't get extra's of everything, but I did of the paper (the blue cardstock came in a pack of 50, so I bought the extra)

Here are the 'extras' that I made. I forgot about some of them.

photo isn't so hot -- I really, really, really need to find my camera - it isn't a fancy one, and I have the card, but I know how to use it and would prefer it to using the one I can find.

Wow! Those are some great goodies!

Wow, that will be a great goodie bag!

I would be thrilled to receive that goodie bag!
