Hello All,
We now have host boxes available, I am so excited they have been on my to do list for years. The plan is they will make hosting easier but you do not have to have them to host the Big Latch On.
We are offering three levels of host boxes, each one is listed in the host store. Please take time to read about each one before choosing the level of box you want, remember you can mix and match as well.
To find the host store you need to be logged in to the website and then it comes up in the drop down menu under the host tab (where it says ‘easy steps to hosting’, ‘register’, ‘resources’, ‘host store’. You do need to be a registered host or co host to order them.
Currently only available in the UK and USA.
Each box is ready for 25 participants, if you are expecting more than 25 participants please order more than one box. Please note we are counting these samples as accurately as possible, often recounting multiple times but we might have made mistakes along the way and sometimes we are pretty sure the printer just hasn’t sent us exactly 10,000. You will get as near to 25 as we can manage it, we promise we are doing our best.
Each box includes shipping. BOXES ARE ON THEIR WAY
Supplies are limited and orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis across all the box levels.
UPDATE:
Just released more sample boxes and basic boxes into the store, please only order if you haven’t already so that everyone gets a chance. UK hosts please email me your address and do not order through the store.
USA sponsor samples so far, there are more being added all the time: (the box you order will contain a selection of these)
Motherlove Nipple Cream
Ardo (its still a secret)
Momzelle gift voucher
Undercover Mama gift voucher
Bamboobies coupon sticker
UK Sponsor Samples so far
Ardo Day/Night Pads
Would anyone be interested in bulk ordering t-shirts for participants? These could be our lovely screen printed ones or a cheaper version? If you are keen please let me know roughly how many, how much per shirt and what version screen printed or not? Thank you all
Would we have to pay for it out of pocket or ask participants to purchase or get sponsors?
Hi Trezelle,
I think most people absorb the cost themselves or through their business or get sponsors at the location to cover the costs they have.
Just to be sure I am loking at them correctly, the $1 boxes with samples each contain approximately 25 samples?
They come with 25 of each sample.
Thank you for your questions
A little note about the $1 charge:
I am passionate about keeping the Global Big Latch On free for communities to host and to me that means avoiding fees for hosts to register (which most other similar events have) and providing all the support and resources you need free of charge. I am excited to be able provide these boxes as an added bonus, please note you do not need a host box to host an event in your community. These samples boxes cost between $4- $6 in postage, which we absorb.
To help make shipping easier I need to collect your information via PayPal and to do that I need to have a nominal charge for these sample boxes. You can chose to donate the $1 or if you would like your dollar refunded, you can add a note to your purchase, and I will process your refund after the boxes have been shipped.
Thank you so much for hosting.
I saw that Bamboobies is contributing door prizes to the Global Big Latch On for distribution this year. Will these be part of the sample boxes, or will there be a different way to obtain the door prizes?
Door prizes will be included in some of the boxes, we have a limited number of door prizes and sponsors have decided how those will be sent out.
I am interested in ordering some boxes for our location. Is the charge a $1 per box or $1 per sample. I do not see a spot to place my order. I will be in need of 3 boxes if they are available.
Thank You

Hi Molly,
Please log in and go to the host store (under the host tab) from there you will see all the box options and be able to order them. The samples from sponsors are $1 for 25 of each sample we include (at least three different samples).
Pease let me know if you have further questions
Thanks Joanne
Good evening,
I ordered a host box on the 19th of May, How do i find out information on when i might receive it?
Thank you,
Karen
Hi Karen,
The boxes won’t ship until all the samples have been received from the sponsors, which will be in the next few weeks. Thank you
Thank you. I’m just worried they won’t make it to me in time (APO address). What method are you using for shipping?
They are coming out priority shipping and from what other APO address people have said they should be there in time. What do you think?
Joanne….I still can’t find these boxes. I’m signed in but it just goes to the regular store.
Got it! Thank you for being patient with me!
No Worries!
HI! Are the Deluxe Host Boxes sold out now?
More are now available, thank you for your patience
Is there another place to discuss planning with other hosts? I’d love to brainstorm with others who may have more experience planning the event.
There is a sharing ideas blog post and a closed Global Big Latch On hosts facebook page
Sadly, these companies will not directly donate to our event/group. They are under the impression that all of the registered events were given samples, which is not the case. I would rather absorb the shipping cost than not have any of the samples.
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
These companies have sent the number of samples that they allocate for the Global Big Latch On to me for central distribution, because it is easier for me to know who is really registered and to send them out to hosts. They are all aware that there is not enough samples for all the locations that will register, the cost of providing that many samples would be extremely prohibitive for most companies. The samples are still available for you to order and you are not charged shipping, please see the host store and please let me know if you have further questions. Kindly Joanne
Any updates on when the boxes will ship? I ordered mine in the end of June and still haven’t received anything. Thank you!
Working as fast as I can on them tonight
Thank God I’ve finally made it !!! still trying to get co hosts for as many of the 700 islands & cays will add as I do
