My sweet little girl and her Daddy went to sell Girl Scout cookies. Did I think that they would come back having sold 106 boxes? Uh no. He travels....a lot. So, I knew I would be the one having to deliver all 106 boxes. Great. With my toddler this would surely be fun. So I tried to have everything orderly so we could be as proficient as possible. One thing I did make that I thought would help our delivery was make these little "we missed you" door hangers. They were easy and simple enough. Last thing I wanted to do was have to do this outing more than once. But in the end I was over the moon she was happy that she had sold all the boxes, made the multiple sales, and had the interaction with adults to help her speaking abilities.
Update 2013: These are now available in my Etsy shop. I sell these here on my site. Contact me: mspaytonjones@yahoo.com and I will start your order.
We also made thank you notes that I thought were adorable. We saw this version of the idea
here. Again, with the same theme of proficiency I added a place for the buyer's name and amount owed. I used a thin tip Sharpie to fill it in. I left space on the left side to hole punch so it could be threaded though the ribbon for the boxes that were together. This did not work out. The cards were too bulky for the tied boxes. Thankfully, the thank you note slipped easily between the ribbon. Orders that had four or more boxes were put into gift bags. The thank you note did get tied to the ribbon and those looked cute.
Hi how can I find the door hangers? I would love to order some for my daughter.

ReplyDeleteIt is a picture. Almost all of her customers commented on how cute they were. Glad you liked them.

Thank you so much. Such a great idea. We'll be making some.
ReplyDeleteSend me a picture I would love to see them.
DeleteFYI: To get high enough above her I brought in a ladder from outside. You need to get pretty high to get the right angle. Happy cookie selling:)

Where did you get the cute cards printed?
