People have made some really gorgeous self-promotion packs, business cards and items to give away to professionals at the symposium. I already have business cards but a piece of card just feels like something you could lose, throw away or forget about.
I decided that giving away one of my dolls would be a nice gesture - something physical with a FACE that you would feel guilty putting in a bin... however, these can't be printed and made in mass, they take time and that's the beauty of handmade objects. They're one of a kind. The professionals should know that these took a while for me to make and were made with love but that means that I only have a few and will have to be choosey about who I give them to!
I have these little brown gift boxes too which fit the business cards in and printed some stickers to brand the front. They can be carried home/back to the office easily. These dolls could sit on someone's desk or be brought home to a bedroom and I hope they'll start conversations.
I think they look really special and like a great gift to receive, I just hope that I don't have to miss anyone out because I don't have enough made. I should have started earlier and made more!
