Default Small gifts for realtors

I've recently been invited to an open house party at a 30 agent office.

I'd like to bring a little something that everyone can enjoy...but that stands out.

Foods already provided, so I'd like to bring something else.

Don't have any personalized promotional items yet.

Any ideas? Just something small for everyone.

Nothing says party fun quite like a stripper...

Just kidding. What about a few urns of coffee or spiced cider to go with the food?

Lotto Tickets attached to your cards and coupons?

Fishbowl for a business card drop. Pull a number of winners for dinner, limo date, case of wine...you get the picture.

Do you have a Dollar Store near you?
Sometimes even cans of mixed nuts ("survival rations") with your card can go a long way, for a buck . . .

Im thinking you should bring tyvex protective gear. That way the next time one of them question your inspection of the crawl space you can invite them to join you under the house. hehe

Pictures of dead green presidents that can be neatly folded and tucked into a pocket is always a good way to stand out from the crowd, make sure to change your underwear & brush your teeth before going.

If you don't like them, don't you mean that you would give them crap?

Nope. He wouldn't EVEN give them crap. That's how little he thinks of them.

See? I understand his posts.

I was reminded of the old movie where A didn't like B, so A sent B a box full of crap through the mail. I thought others would pick up on that. I guess I'm too old.
