fletcherpeatross Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'll be running a booth again this year (Southpaw Crafts) and we were considering selling Advent Calendars, with a theme of D&D. They would contain D&D trinket items (think keychain, stickers, etc.), and around a dozen miniatures. 24 days, each day will have its own box to open. Cost is still being considered, but we were thinking $40-$45 most likely. The items inside would be kid appropriate (or kid at heart appropriate). So, my question is, would you be interested in such a product? We're trying to determine how many we would pre-make to bring. We'd also take orders for them to be delivered before Dec 1st. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleH Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I might go for 4-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Fun idea, but does not fit my family/lifestyle. While I like minis I'm not big on trinkets/keychains/toy objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylverthorne Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Still want. (and I will happily take all trinkets and stickers anyone doesn't want) 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, would these be for kids or for gifts for kids/etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpugmire Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Would these be available outside of reapercon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleH Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Would the calendars all have the same items, or would there be a variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletcherpeatross Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Another question.. Would it matter if the minis inside were Reaper vs. Prepainted minis from Wizkids or similar? 6 minutes ago, tpugmire said: Would these be available outside of reapercon? The intention is to make them available for sale on my wife's Etsy storefront, as well as taking orders for delivery at Reapercon. 1 minute ago, TripleH said: Would the calendars all have the same items, or would there be a variety? No two would be identical. they would have the same quantity of each type of thing, but what's inside would be random. I.E. everyone would get dice, some might get red, some get blue, etc. The minis inside would also be a random assortment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletcherpeatross Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 After some thinking, we will probably offer two versions. One with prepaints, and one without. That way we can satisfy both groups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PammyD2 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hello! I'm new here. Last year's ReaperCon was my first, and I came here looking for information for this year's ReaperCon, since my husband has already booked us for the hotel there, and I am SO glad that I found this thread! I attempted to buy a D&D themed Advent calendar for my husband last year from a website that sold lots of themed advent calendars, and that was a total bust. It was a plastic case with a paper print out of one of the D&D books taped on top of it, and NONE of the trinkets inside were D&D themed at all, plus, we ordered it at the beginning of October and it didn't arrive until the middle of December. Horrible, and we paid $55 for the "deluxe" version. So...we would LOVE it if you were selling D&D themed Advent calendars at ReaperCon, and I'd probably buy at least 1, but maybe 2 or 3. 1 would be for adults, the other one for my 7 yr old nephew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the majority of people buying swag will fall into one camp or the other ("I want to paint it all myself", and "I just want to have fun stuff for the table with minimum effort").

fletcherpeatross Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Here's the layout of the Advent Calendar. We've figured out what will be put into each box (will come in a larger 12x12 box for shipping/purchase. There will also be an envelope for one of the days, making for 24 items total. Prices will be $60 for the regular version (prepainted minis, etc.) $75 for the premium version (reaper unpainted minis) 12 total minis in each version, with 12 other gifts, most of which have something personalized from us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OneBoot Posted March 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 1, 2022 It's a lovely idea, and I would love to purchase one! However, as a con attendee, I (and anyone else who has to fly) will be considering luggage space while shopping. Be prepared to hand out lots of business cards for people who want to buy one but can't do it in person, depending on how big and/or fragile your beautiful calendar is. 🙂 (as an aside, using mini boxes to plan your calendar layout is brilliant!) Huzzah! --OneBoot 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
