FREE CANDLES STARTING JANUARY 1, 2005!  
 
On January 1, 2005, Home & Garden Party will launch the 
most generous new Designer support program in company 
history - Ready…Set…Go! with the “Heart of My Business 
Candle!” Successful Designers readily admit that the 
“heart” of their Home & Garden Party business is their 
Hostesses, and the new Ready…Set…Go! Program will help 
every new Designer launch a successful HGP business. 
 
FACT: 
 
• As the following chart shows, new Designers will 
experience much greater success in their first year if they 
have good sales in their first 50 days. If you are a new 
Designer, where do you want to be on the chart?  
 
Designer-In-Training Average Sales In 
Sales in First 50 Days Her First 12 Months  
---------------------- ------------------- 
$0 $372 
$1 - 1500 $2,780 
Over $1500 $8,218 
 
 
Challenge for every new Designer: 
• Very simple - Give away 6 “Heart of My Business Candles” 
in your first 50 days.  
 
Note: You have a maximum of 6 candles to award to your 
first 6 Hostesses. In order for a Hostess to qualify for 
her free “Heart of My Business Candle,” sales must be at 
least $100 commissionable, and the Party must be entered in 
the computer by no later than midnight (central time) of 
your 50th day. Day 1 is the day you agreed to the Terms & 
Conditions on your Application. Any candles that are not 
given away in your first 50 days are forfeited, so start 
booking parties right away!  
 
To qualify, your paid application must be entered and 
activated by 1/31/05. 
 
 
****************** 
Let’s get together over a cuppa joe to discuss the benefits 
of HGP. May I reserve a no obligation information packet 
for you? I’d love to get your opinion of our catalog and 
business opportunity! Call me this week.

How Much Does it Really Cost to Work Outside the Home?  
by Alice Seba  
 
 
Many families say it's a matter of economics - that's why 
they have to work. But have you sat down to figure out how 
much you are really earning when you go to work? Forget 
just working for free most of the time & just paying for 
daycare, have you considered the other expenses involved 
with working outside the home? 
 
1. Take a look at your net income after taxes and other 
deductions. 
2. How much does child care cost? 
3. How much do you spend on transportation? - consider 
everything - bus fare, gas, parking, car insurance, etc. 
4. How much do you spend buying lunches, snacks and coffees 
that could be made at home? 
5. How much do you spend on clothing and dry cleaning for 
work? 
 
When you add up items 2 through 5, you'll often find that 
the total is larger than the number in item 1. Even if it 
is smaller, is that amount worth having someone else taking 
care of your children? These are things you have to look 
at. Perhaps, you only have one child now, but consider if 
you have more children in the future? Your expenses can 
skyrocket. It's a matter of deciding what's most important.

Did you know… 
? That Home & Garden Party offers Health, Life and Cancer 
benefits? 
? That HGP is the only party plan company in America ever 
to make over $100 Million in sales in the first 5 years? 
? Because we have fewer than 30,000 Designers, our 
business is considered a “Once in a Lifetime” opportunity  
(according to Harvard Business School criteria)?  
! Just thought you’d like to know!

Tip of the Month 
 
When it comes time to take down the Christmas decorations, 
leave up some snowmen (ones that aren’t red and green!) so 
your home doesn’t feel “naked” and you can still enjoy the 
winter. To chase away February doldrums, bring out a few 
bright florals in an arrangement or two so that they can 
remind you Spring is on the way. Be sure to pick out your 
favorite pretty details at exceptional prices from the new 
Spring-Summer catalog.
