In which we poll the PDX masses...

[jesshartley]

This question is predominantly for the PDX area folks, although others are welcome to chime in.

I'm wanting to get a little gift (can't afford more than about $10 each) for the vendors who are supporting my book at this convention (and to take with to signings in the future). I'm thinking chocolates are nice (They're "shareable", classy, and most folks like them.)

I'd like to find one "signature" thing and stick with it... I was thinking maybe a small box of a more expensive chocolate (moonstruck is here in portland, and there's a godiva shop here too), rather than a bigger box of a more "mainstream" (Sees, Whitmans, etc)...

It needs to be something I can get year round, and that I can pick up quickly in the Portland area (rather than having to order.

Ideas? Favorites?

Godiva Truffles!!! I could melt in a puddle and just eat them all day. That would be a happy day. :) Hmm...

Godiva is wonderful.

It's too bad their new limited-time G line is out of your price range. Someone on food_porn posted a synopsis out of the Godiva catalog describing some of those truffles and I nearly shorted my keyboard drooling on it.

When I used to work for White Wolf and we attended conventions I would always buy the Dealers donuts. Of course, I did NOT do this for GenCon but for the smaller conventions - it worked. They loved it! And nothing shows "I support you being here" than a thank you and donuts!

I think that your idea of giving something back to the people who are supporting you is a wonderful idea. I totally support it.

Fruits are also a good choice as well. But that's because I can't eat regular Chocolates. Just a thought on that.

I also forgot to mention that even though I don't work for WW anymore, I still buy donuts for other vendors where ever I go. Even when I do my stained glass shows and whatnot. It was a very good habit to get into.
