I am guest speaking at a Girl Scout meeting tomorrow and I am looking for ideas for a giveaway. You know those silly bags with little things in them and each one has a meaning? Like for cheer they would have a rubber band to stay flexible and other crazy things. If this makes any sense and you have ideas, let me know! I know I have gotten them at conferences, but cant remember whats in them.
