Five Parties...Ten Days...Yikes!

When I first signed up with 31 Gifts, my initial goal was to meet the 12 parties in 90 days so that I could get all of the Start Swell incentives. I made that goal with a few days to spare. And once I reached that goal, I figured I'd be perfectly content to do one or two parties a month. That hasn't been the case however. I can't complain one bit that starting Tuesday the 15th, I'll have my ten day of pure madness! Five parties, in ten days, plus throw in two nights of bowling, two days of watching a friend's girls, and an overnight stay at Adventureland Inn and you have ten days of insanity!
But despite the fact that I know I'll be feeling just like a chicken with it's head cut off for ten days, I wouldn't want it any other way! Lol! Well, maybe a little less crazy. I just can't get over how incredibly wonderful it has been for me to be able to sell products that I love and have such good luck booking parties! My next goal is to get a few more recruits under my belt. That goal however is indefinitely on hold. Due to the immense amount of growth, 31 Gifts has put a temporary freeze on new consultants. So if anyone is thinking about signing up you'll have to wait a little while. I don't know yet when the freeze will be thawed, but I'll let you know!

Spring Catalog!

I completely forgot! February first was the release of the new catalog! Click here to see it. I unfortunately have to mention that some of the items shown in the catalog have been held back and will actually be released March first. All of the 31Kid items have been put on hold, including the toddler backpacks, the hooded towels, the teddy bear and blanket, the pacifier clips, the bath mit and cloth, the bib and burp cloth set, the personalized boxers and bloomers, and the thermal pack 'n totes. One other item has been held, and that is the umbrellas. So for those of you thinking ahead for spring you'll have to wait just a few more weeks.
But I promise that the release of these items is only being delayed to ensure that 31 can keep all of their customers, and consultants, satisfied with their service. Due to an overwhelming demand, 31 decided to wait and build up a good stock of these items so that customers wouldn't have to wait weeks for their items. So please don't be too upset!
My last update is on the thermal totes. As a consultant I was so thrilled that the larger thermal totes-the picnic tote and the market tote-were going to be PVC lined to make them water-tight. However, the mass production totes aren't meeting the strict product guidelines that 31 is looking for. So those totes are no longer going to have the PVC lining. It just isn't meeting their expectations. I'm sorry to dash everyones hopes on finally getting a good tote that's water-tight. But I'm sure that in the mean time the 31 Gifts team is going to come up with something even better!
I encourage everyone to check out the new catalog and please let me know if you'd like to order or even better...host a party and earn some of the things off of your want list for FREE!

March Specials!

Here's the first preview of the March Specials. And believe it or not I already have parties booked! So Please reserve your date today!

I love that the March specials focus on the totes, because with spring right around the corner everyone needs a good tote! The thermal totes are such a great way to haul all of your goodies to the beach, the park, or even just to work! And the new totally awesome beach tote is the perfect size for packing up your towels, floaties, sunscreen, and everything else you need for going to the beach or the pool. You can buy the tote that's perfect for you, and if you spend over $31 you can get that adorable new purse you've been wanting! So please take advantage of these awesome customer and hostess specials because they never seem to last long!
