Hey.. that will work at one paticular bar...but the others not so much.I am sure I will come up with something... There are just a few special ones that have been at my shows every week for over a year now. Want something nice but cheap. Or is that a contradiction. Thanx for the suggestion!!

Go to the dollar store and buy 1.00 mugs and fill them with hard chrsitams candy. Wrap them with clear wrap or colored that you can see through and tie a ribbon around the top...Each one may cost you about 1.25 and they will think uyou went all out...I do this for all the poeple who work for me...I ussually have about 50 or so, so I have to go cheep...And sometimes I put a candy cane in the ribbon when tying it up... OO and one more thing I have done is buy candy canes and go to the craft store and get the small googly eyes and pipe cleaners...and you can make reindeer... That's really cheep too..Prolly only about .50 cents each.... |

Don't know how many of these friends you are looking to buy for, but you could always buy those 3 pack t-shirts, (some paces like the dollar stores have them really cheap). Then use those iron on t-shirt transfers. Print up something simple, small, (to fit on the pocket), or large, (but this will take too many transfers), to put on front or back. Anyway, it could read whatever you want it to read. Name, and maybe that they patronize whatever the bar name is with your Karaoke Company name. Then it is really personal too. Probably less then $3 - $4 each. We have even bought boxes of musical note chocolate candies for the bar owners. Kept with the musical theme. They really appreciated it.

I ordered these for my people. http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse&origin=catalogProducts.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=12&sku=4/2853&prodCatId=377625&mode=Browsing&erec=2&No=24&sp=true&Ntk=all&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&N=377625&sd=SNOWMAN+DRAWSTRING+CANDY+BAGS I figured I'd get a couple dozen and fill them with candy. Check out the whole site there is a lot of cool inexpensive things you can do. :D |

Hey babs Thanx again!! My first party is this weekend so maybe I can use both ideas. With 3 different regular gig with their own set of regular singers it will be nice to do something a little different for each...not that they ever run into each other ....some times these little towns don't get along!!

Those turned out great ! I made candy bags for the singers and used stuffed candy cane mugs for the bartenders. I brought 35 bags of candy and used them all. The owner gave out free drinks for 2 hours. We had tons of good food brought in by the patrons. Johnny and his wife brought a huge cake, yum, yum. Thank you Johnny! It was a good time ! |
