You did this for the PC EB repo back in 2008 and it was one of our all time favorite FE gifts

The roming gnome was a great idea too. I saved the image that you posted after everyone signed it

Wow, you have a good memory. Weren't we next door neighbors on the EB Repo?

I did a roaming gnome on this cruise as well.

I also plagiarized (with permission) with and additional FE gift. Its a decal that can be affixed to glass (like on a car/truck).... ordered by a lady who makes these on ebay... super cheap and real nice...

A lot of the smart phones don't have a hook area to loop the charms thru. They aren't like the old phones!!!

These have a post that goes into the headphone jack. I'm in grad school and see them on the undergrads phones. I asked and they've shrugged their shoulders.

How are people adding in pictures? I wanted to post a pic of the FE gifts we made for our upcoming cruise but I can't seem to figure it out ...

This FE gift has evolved over the 5 DCLs I have been on, but its a keepsake where I affix used stamps and/or coins of the countries we are visiting to a map of the itinerary of the sailing.

I generally acquire the coins / stamps on eBay. Stamps vs coins and the cost of each will boil down to the itinerary. For the western Caribbean, all countries were readily available and all were in expensive so I did both coins and stamps. For the repositioning, I wanted to do coins, but bulk Columbian and Aruba coins were hard to come by (and for that FE I think there were 125 participants) so I went with stamps only - and since Aruba is such a new country I had to get unused stamps from there... I think the Aruban stamps were 10x the price of all the other stamps combined.

This version has one coin and one stamp from each of the three countries we were supposed to visit (Cayman actually was cancelled due to weather). They are affixed to canvas board (in the past i just used card stock, but the canvas board is far more durable).

The intention of this FE is to be a lasting keepsake of the cruise...

A very cool gift, I also like the car decals. Very useful.
I can see the teenage boys using the decals on their electronics, binders, room windows or mirrors.
How did you acquire the used stamps? Did you go through a company or eBay?

Sil, could you PM me the link too?
We had the FE gift you gave us framed and it is in our hall. We have had a lot of comments on it. Brings back a lot of happy memories of sailing with Jeff and family.

I've been watching this forum for a couple months now trying to come up with ideas for our first cruise next week. This is what we came up with ...

A 4 coasters for the adults and a Mickey style frame for the kids. We're hoping that these will be lasting mementos from the trip that people will enjoy.

Cruise is the March 3rd Disney Dream ... no peeking if you're in our FE group, please!

I would like to have it as well, please and thank you. Can you tell me how big it is?

Just troll ebay. For this cruise one person was selling large lots from two of the 3 countries. I emailed him... and asked if he had the 3rd and the deal was done in one shot and pretty darned cheap.

Coins were done the same way..

Bulk stamps are far easier to find than coins.
