Forbidden Fruit Shop at Home Parties

We originated the concept here in Austin back in 1982! Here are our guidelines and requirements for a successful Home Party.

• The party generally takes about 3-4 hours total and is for Women Only!!! (Sorry Guys, research and past experience shows we can be more open and candid about these products when it's just us girls!!!)
• Tailor your party to suit you and your guest's tastes. We have presented at everything from a bar-b-que and margarita casual event to a champagne and caviar formal style affair.
• We glady take product requests and tailor the quantity and type of items we bring to suit you and your guests tastes. We also have a special method of facilitating bachelorette parties by using our order sheet as a "registry"!
• We can include icebreaker games and prizes, at no additional carge upon request. Some hostesses like these games as a way toloosen the crowd up and get the party started, others prefer to cut to the chase and get straight to the goodies! Either way, we customize the party to fit YOUR wishes!
• There is no fee or charge for having a party, however we do request a minimum of 10 guests and/or ) guaranteed NET sales ( before taxes) of $350 please. Our party presenters are commissioned sales people who will spend a minimum of 6 hours on the prep, presentation and post party procurement of products and delivery.
• Hostess incentive! You will receive a gift,in the form of store credit- which you can use at the party or at the store,based upon a sales percentage. We will give you a gift credit of 10% of net sales on $350 or more. Use it yourself, share with a co- hostess or give as a gift! We have had some hostesses make over $100 in gift credit!
• Whenever possible, we will sell some items from the kit, if the purchaser pays with cash. Most commonly and due to the amount of product we bring, the majority of orders cannot be filled until the next day. All orders will be discreetly packaged, labeled with buyer's name and delivered to the hostess who will then re-distribute the packages to the guests.
• If you have any questions, please call us at (512) 453-8090 (Austin area) or toll-free at (800) 315-2029 or send us an email. We will have a presenter call you back.
