FE Gift Exchange Ideas for the Adults? - The DIS Discussion Forums

BoogasMom · 11-20-2009, 04:27 PM

I just don't know what to do for the adults on our cruise. I am really running out of time to make anything by hand so what are some ideas of things that I could get for the adults?

tjbaggott · 11-20-2009, 04:34 PM

Here's what I gave to the adults on our FE exchange a few weeks ago:

-small bottles of Pure Canadian Maple Syrup
-Magnets I made myself (cruise specific)
-Box of smarties and a kit kat bar
-Candian Fridge magnet with a built in themometre
-Disney keychain
-Canadian Maple Candy
(can you tell, I'm Canadian?)

Some items we received

-Pens (with a Disney graphic on it,,,,I would LOVE to know how this was done)!
-highlighters
-Chocolate
-Magnets from the givers home city
-post cards
-Picture frame (hand made mat inside)
-Pirate paraphernalia for Pirate night
-note pads
oh, lots more but I'd have to look at photos as I can't recall everything right now.

message boards, ours was themed to our cruise.
also got bookmarks themed with mickey heads
a cookbook. The cover was themed for our cruise group.
Little tote bag with candy in it
post it notes
High lighter pens
Key chains
Disney post cards
Home made bracelet and earrings
coasters

I know we received alot more but i dont have it in front of me to remember it all.

Just remember snacks are always welcome. One time I took snacks that came from our home state and that was a big hit. Dried blueberries, jerky made from salmon and elk, chocolate covered marionberries etc.. Unusual things like that.
When we lived in Florida i took small chocolate alligators.
Don't stess about it, just browse around and something will strike your fancy. People tend to love about anything.

I just gave a gift bag with a Pirate Rubber Ducky (for the kid in all of us!) a minature bottle of rum, and some candy. Super easy!

I was thinking about mini bottles of rum but I wasn't sure. Was that well-received?

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum???? HA-HA!!!

jedijill · 11-20-2009, 04:57 PM

I had no complaints from anyone. I did worry about if someone didn't drink but honestly they could just toss it if they didn't want it.

I was planning to do a coaster set but hardly anyone has signed up on our cruise! It's the NYE Wonder, just in case someone reads this and forgot to come to the thread!

There is a lot of $1 stuff in the Target section, including dry erase boards. I would be thrilled with just about anything, as an adult, but the silly stuff would be fun too.

I'm not familiar with the acronym; what's an FE?

FE= fish extender
On our cruise we got lots of pirate goodies, Chocolate bars, local stuff like pens from pro team. MY fav. one was a drink docorater kit. It was a curly straw, a paper umbrella and swizzle sticks in a baggie.

nvcruiser · 11-20-2009, 11:25 PM

Things from your hometown/state are always a big hit. I come from a gold mining, gambling, hick town, so I took little vials of pure gold and a personnalized poker chip, and put them in a little plastic shot glass with some info about my hometown. It was a lot of fun to give and to see what else was given!

MyLove4Disney · 11-21-2009, 01:36 AM

I did many different things that have been mentioned, but the one that I got the most thanks for was good quality lip balm.

We got rum, lotions, hand sanitizer/tissues, belgium chocolates from our new belbium friends, and a keychain from DL Paris!! Oh and a few home made CD's with island music.
I made small scrapbooks for all of the adults on our list.

It was all really nice, and fun to come back to the room to see what goodies we got!!!

One thing that really stuck out for us was a mini bottle of pear flavoured vodka, very yummy.
