Just put them on your desk with a "For Sale" sign.

Set the form out so everyone can see it, but don't solicit buyers. Be honest, if people ask, just tell them that you brought the form in case anyone wants to buy, but you are not soliciting. If you want to be quite indirect (or direct, which ever way you look at it), have your own box of GS cookies on your desk, when ppl see them, if they want to buy, they will ask where you got them. But, the best approach is just ot have the form out on a bulletin board or your desk and if anyone wants any, they will buy, but don't make a big deal about it.

Just say, "My niece is selling Girlscout cookies if anybody wants any the form is on my desk." Most people love Girlscout cookies.

Just put the sign-up sheet somewhere conspicuous, like a break room or some other common area, with a sign, but don't say anything. If people want to buy, they will, and if not, they won't feel pressured.

I leave the order form in the kitchen and mention that it is there if anyone would like to buy cookies...

When you're at lunch just leave the form on an empty table and people should come and fill it out.
Or you can just ask.
Thats what you do.
You WANT them to buy them
Who cares if they think they have to.
More money for the fundraiser.

Just lay the order form on your desk so that it is visible to people when they walk into your office. Word will get around that you are selling for her.

Make them an offer they can't refuse.
"Eat the cookies or Die".
LOL
Or at least recreate the scene from the movie that should give them enough of a kick that they will feel compelled to buy them.
