It seems everyone I know is trying to make extra money or earn products by having a "Party". You know, the Arbonne, Jewelry, Wine, Clothing parties. These are people that are friends and aquaintences, so I need to find a great, polite way to say "NO". I just have a general rule not to go to these things, because if I did go to all of them, I would have to get a 2nd job to support it. I feel if I go to one of them, then it is offensive to not go to all of them. Does anyone have any NICE ways to say no?

I want to make some profit; But also have fun doing it.
I don’t really want to do Avon. Maybe Mary Kay?
I was thinking about Undercover Wear. I’ve been to 2 parties and they are very fun.
Is there any companies somewhat like this that you sell for or do you know of any that someone else sells for? (Jewelry, Makeup, Whatever!)

I’m just looking for ideas and options. Thanks.

We always hear of direct selling opportunties for women: Tupperware, Mary Kay, Discovery Toys, Pampered Chef, Body Shop at Home, Avon, Longaberger Baskets, jewelry, etc… the list goes on and on. But what types of things are available for men? What "parties" would men attend?
