Need ideas for fundraiser/ holiday gifts

[cdlamis]

Help! I am in charge of a small church fundraiser. I am supposed to have a booth at our Fall festival. After talking to other mothers, I want to sell something that people will buy anyway (like wrapping paper). Of course, I don't want to do wrapping paper because all the schools around here do that for their fundraiser.

What else could I sell? Any on-line companies for wholesale popcorn tins, or those holiday stacking boxes filled with goodies, etc? Any ideas??

TIA~

Last year around the holidays, I bought huge tubs of frozen cookie dough from a friend's child. The cookies were fantastic. It was great to have around the holidays for those unexected visitors and last min. parties. I don't know the company but, maybe something like that?

I love those cookie dough tubs! They are so handy to have around. Now that I'm a SAHM I'll have to find someone that sells them. It used to be so easy in the office!

What about making those cookie mixes in jars that are easy to make? I have made waffle/pancake recipes like this, and have seen hot cocoa recipes too.

Other ideas....
Stocking stuffer kits (candy and goodies)
Chex mix is always a hit

With wrapping paper, you could sell gift tags that you could stamp, or recycle old cards to make.

Can you make bows?

Sorry, I am not creative today.

Do you have to sell something new? At my church festival the Christian Mothers organization sets up a booth with used jewelry for sale. They always get plenty of donations and it's quite a hit. The bonus is that jewelry is small and lightweight, making it easy to get rid of whatever doesn't sell.
