THINGS WE’RE OBSESSED WITH

A Favorite Things Party at The Wood

Join us for a night featuring a curated lineup of local makers, small businesses and vendors sharing the things they’re obsessed with — and giving YOU the chance to take some home!

Every guest receives 3 tickets, and throughout the evening we'll draw names for guests to choose 3 Favorite Things, each valued at approximately $10.

But this isn't just a night of giveaways. We're doing it BEFORE the holiday shopping season kicks into full gear, so you'll get a chance to discover some seriously good gift ideas and get a head start on your shopping list. By the time you leave, you'll be well-versed in what to get for the people on your list — including yourself! The $29 guest ticket includes: Hot Beverage Bar Appetizer Buffet Favorite Things Giveaways Vendor Spotlights

Connect with potential customers

This is designed to be a relaxed, social evening — not a traditional craft/vendor show.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

3 identical items with an approximate retail value of $10 each.

These are the items that will be given away during the Favorite Things portion of the evening. Choose something that is unique/your best seller/your fave/you can sell after the giveaways (cuz guests will have FOMO!).

Please bring:

-Business signage/tabletop display -Enough inventory to make shopping worthwhile, but you do not need to bring your entire collection.

-Business cards or other contact information

-QR code or other way for guests to find you online

A FEW GUIDELINES

This is a curated experience, not a traditional vendor fair.

To keep the event interesting and varied, we'll limit the number of vendors in each product category.

Please keep your giveaway item around the $10 retail value and make sure it is something you currently sell.

Your giveaway item should be a product, not a coupon or discount.

You'll have a short spotlight to tell guests about your business and Favorite Thing, but please keep the presentation focused on what you love and what makes your product special, rather than a sales pitch.

MOST IMPORTANTLY...

Bring the thing you sell that makes you say: “THIS is the one I want everyone to know about.”

THAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING!
