This does not have to be expensive and there is no need to make things. I just enjoy doing so. My last Fish Extender gifts worked out about 40 cent per person. I got all the materials from Ebay and it took me a little over an hour to make them.

The thread has been so quiet that I totally forgot to post what I did for our November cruise on the Magic:

Oh please don't feel that way. There is huge variety in gifts. Gifts may vary from $1-$10 a stateroom (not a rule, just an observation). Some do gifts for each person and some one gift per stateroom. Some purchase items from places like oriental trading and some create gifts. It doesn't matter the cost or how creative someone is- it is just the joy of sharing with others. The key is to enjoy the process.

CD of cruise Disney music (with the cruise ship horns and the Castaway Cay music), the Johnson and Johnson 90 cent first aide kit (because I am a nurse and those first aide kits are freaking awesome! I add Mickey bandaides and a cute Mickey sticker), or should I make a mini recipe book of like 10-20 top Seattle recipes (because I am in Seattle area) held together with a ring and the cover being a postcard? My mom and I are going to the Eastern Caribbean in April. Any suggestions or ideas?

What kind of music from Castaway Cay? Or maybe I should say where did you find it? I remember sitting and listening to it and relaxing...I'd love to find said music so I can "go back" when I want too

Unfortunately I deleted some pictures to have more space while on the cruise thinking that I had downloaded them on my computer. I don't have pictures of everything- I gave out CDs with over 50 Disney and DCL ringtones that can be used on the iphone plus versions for other types of phones, Disney Lullaby CDs and Disney Board books for the 3 and under crowd, Disney toy kits from Michael's, Coloring kits with markers, socks,Calendars and notepads (all Disney from Target), containers colored sugar sprinkles for the ice cream station, bubbles, keychains, wristlets, bracelets, necklaces, bookmarks, magnet (some with charms), drink holders for carrying drinks back from beverage station, some candy
Here are the few pictures that didn't get deleted









I found a picture of one of the board books online They are Disney My First Look and Find books

I got a CD with it. There's a song called Castaway Cay. My dad dances around the house when it plays, so nerdy.

Thanks. We don't like the lanyard around the neck and never used them. Thought some others may feel the same way. I had to order a couple gold and platinum from eBay since we have not made it that far yet

I have the same book marks but for our Christmas cruise next year. Also made key fobs...guess great minds think alike Although I used cruise ribbons, but I have always wanted to repurpose my lanyards...I like the key fob idea.... I think I will make some for me...hehe

BTW I love the drink holders....there are nights everyone says, "Mom can you bring me back a drink?" Man I could have used one of those...
