This came up in another forum, so I got to thinking. Have you ever been to or hosted a home sales party? For instance, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Home Interiors, etc. Did you have any interesting experiences? Tell us about it!
I have been to quite a few Tupperware parties (I even sold it for 11 months). I enjoy them a lot. I also enjoyed the Home Interior parties I went to several years ago. I can't remember the name of the one company (not Sarah Coventry), but I hosted a jewelry party years ago and got a great necklace as a gift. My favorite home sales party was Christmas Around the World. It was part of Home Interiors and the parties were only held for a month or two before Christmas. They had a wide range of prices, so even someone who didn't have much money, like me, could buy some cute stuff. I looked them up, but I don't think Christmas Around the World exists anymore.
The first time I ever heard of a home sales party was around 1966 when my mom and dad went to a Stanley Home Party. They also went to a pan party my aunt and uncle had in the '70s. I think my dad enjoyed himself well enough, but he made my mom promise she would never host one in their house, and she never did.
I think most home sales parties are a lot of fun. They often have silly games, and often a meal or appetizers are served as part of the presentation (if what is being sold involves food preparation or storage). The ones with high-pressure sales people are not as much fun. But they aren't all like that, thank goodness!
