Ideas on cheap gifts for feedback?

[Zero123]

Anyone have some ideas for cheap gifts that I can get quickly and put in with a $20 order, aswell as a small note thanking them and asking them for positive feedback?

Gift should be in the cents each, but make the buyer happy.

I would say something to do with the item that they have bought from you, if I sell phone cases for example I sometimes send screen protectors for free.

Someone here said they include a piece or two of hard tack type candy.

That's risky.

Buyers complain of getting something dangerous for their health. Some buyers has mentioned the issue of their children getting the candies when the kids have food allergies.

You could just send them a small printed card saying something along the lines of 'Thank you for buying our item'. Like GB said I have had buyers sometimes complain about free gifts if it is not to their taste.

One of the members here a while back mentioned they sent something like Jolly Rangers or something.

Maybe so.

A simple candy might be harmful because of unknown circumstances of the buyer.

Wanting feedback need not be dangerous to the health of a buyer or damage a seller's account.

Imagine a thread titled I sent free candy & my buyer reported me to ebay

Ya'll have a candy in the USA called 'fruitloop'?

That's the type of buyers out there

Couldn't agree more

Make some nice handcrafted item that looks pretty - alternate fridge magnet for example.

Fruitloop?

We have a cereal called fruitloops.

I actually have received a ton of candy in my boxes from gum to candy canes to butterscotch disk.

LOL-- Even got a melted mini hersheys bar.... Stupid seller did not realize I am in Florida and its 94 today!!

I have had melted chocolate too.

Melted all thro' the tissue paper the fabric was wrapped in for protection.

Was not even peppermint chocolate.

Not happy.

There's a big online music store called sweet water, they are known for including candy in their shipments . Its amazing what a little free can do

Just remembered the oddest gift I got in a package from an ebay seller.


A glow in the dark necklace.

Yes, one of those ones you pinch and it glows in the dark.

A note inside said something like this.


Thank you for your purchase and speedy payment, I appreciate your business so much I wanted to add this little gift for you to enjoy.

I felt sooooo special getting this necklace.

[GreenBean]

Christmas time I got a special gift like that too.

Made me feel great. That's the sort of thing I enjoy to get.

[GreenBean]

AND, AND, AND

But it suits you well o Spider Queen

Chocolate in the mail - that's an insane move...and not packaged well, even worse - dangerous.

Card is nice - small trinket - but focus should be on the care of the actual item
