Priests: What are your thoughts on typical Catholic conference gift bags? What’s actually helpful vs. what you get too often?
Hi Fathers!
I work with a Catholic organization and we attend quite a few conferences each year. Like many of you, I’ve seen my share of attendee gift bags packed with the usual suspects. (Branded pens, anyone?)
This time we’d like to do better. Our team has been discussing putting together special gift bags just for the priests for each event we attend, and we really want them to be genuinely useful instead of more dead weight.
What are some things you actually use on a daily basis that would be great to find in a bag?Or what’s a nice small “splurge” item you probably wouldn’t buy for yourself, but would happily use and enjoy?
As a lay person, any feedback is very welcome, from favorite things you’ve received in the past, to items that just feel like clutter.
Thank you so much for your insights!
