Merriment, Re-Gifts & Crafting, oh my!

Dec 7, 2023, 10:45 PM – Dec 8, 2023, 1:00 AM (UTC)

Salesforce Women in Tech Group, Charlotte, United States

Casual gathering at Kristi's house to work on a giveback project, have a low key gift swap and all around fun!

About this event

As the name implies, plans for the evening include 3 things - Merriment, Re-Gifts & Crafting! More details on each below, we will be gathering at Kristi's new house in Mount Holly. I will send the street address & my phone number the day before the event, the location listed here is a restaurant nearby for you to gauge directions. NOTE: Dogs live here so please be aware if you're allergic.

(1) MERRIMENT: general festive Christmas party vibes, probably hot cider and wine plus appetizers and snacks.

(2) RE-GIFTS: Moving has taught me that I keep plenty of things because I SHOULD or because I can't decide about them, which means they end up hiding on a shelf/box gathering dust. So instead of buying new gifts, let's lean in to the re-gift and wrap up something perfectly lovely that someone else might enjoy! Ideally it should be nice/gently used, not something that you're just struggling to throw away.
*If you bring a (wrapped) gift, you'll get a number and we'll pick gifts. If you don't, that's fine, you can watch!*

IDEAS OF THINGS FOR REGIFTING (are these from my real life? I'll never tell!)  The nice vase that wasn't on your wedding registry but someone gave you anyways. The cute sign your mom bought you that is pretty but just not your style. The Holiday Cookie jar that doesn't match your holiday decor. The nice spa/lotion basket that's a scent you don't like. Duplicate Salesforce Swag (backpacks, plushies). Woman's Career/Empowerment books you'll never read. You get the gist!

(3) CRAFTING GIVEBACK - we're finally going to try this again, making our tie blankets to donate to Crisis Assistance Ministry <3

While we catch up, we will be cutting & tying no-sew fleece blankets for families in need - I promise EVERYONE can do it, you don't have to be crafty. 
**If you already bought fabric, I still have it! Don't feel obligated to bring more**

Salesforce does not cover the craft supplies so here's how you can get involved:

1 - Just show up! Kristi & Jen Lange have already acquired sets of fleece for us to work on + you can pair with someone who did bring fabric.

2 - Show up with Fabric SCISSORS (or New scissors, just not the same ones you use for cutting paper and whatnot) if you have them.

3 - Bring FABRIC along for us to make into more than our planned blankets! **If you already bought fabric, I still have it! Don't feel obligated to bring more**
You need 2 coordinating pieces of blanket fleece around 72in x 60in - if you tell the fabric cutter at the store you're making a tie blanket with 5in strips they can help guide you as well. We're trying to make larger than a throw blanket for use on a bed. You may be able to find a Kit online - IE https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Pill-No-Sew-Throw-Fleece-Fabric/dp/B07WX6L7PX/ - try to pick widely applicable prints. Kristi can help provide guidance as well if you'd like to contribute!
