Those are some great ideas!! I didn't know about the thread with others who offer their craftiness.... did I say that right?
 The cruise survival kit is a good idea. The first aid kit is what I had thought of, but I like adding hand sanitizer, etc. One of my favorite past gifts were some very cool magnets that were personalized. Thank you  Ginny

I am enjoying all these great ideas. I went the Oriental trading Co route for our upcoming Baltic Cruise. I don't want to spoil the surprise for other cruisers that may be on board (we have 50 staterooms in our FE group) but they are pirate related and very cute too.

For anyone that did the survival kit
What all did you put in it? I have this zip lock with band aids, rubber bands, paper clips, zip ties, safety pins, etc But, did you put anything else in it too?

We leave on the Wonder on Sunday
and my FE gift to everyone was from Oriental Trading. Since we have 2 stops at CC plus Nassau, I bought a mesh beach bag and waterproof beach safe container (one that goes around your neck) for each person in our FE group. They came in lot of 12 so they were pretty reasonable! Now, everyone has a mesh beach bag to take to the beach plus a waterproof/sandproof container to put in their money, room key, etc. Hope everyone likes what I got!

The highlighter is great for highlighting the Navigator and the post-its are great for leaving quick messages. Ginny

very impulsive, which doesn’t bode well for our credit cards! They don't call me "Clever Claire" for nothing!

It included a couple individual wet wipes & shout stain removal wipes which were very handy.

On our first cruise (last December) We had 16 rooms and I spent under $75. Here is what I gave:
Green gift bags filled with Disney pencils and stickers (for the kids). I made a "cruise music" CD for each cabin, Cruise Survival kids for each cabin in a ziplock with highlighter, post it pad, candy, tissues, hand sanitzier wipes, lense cleaner clother, bandaid, and safety pins. I also included a UCONN magnet for each stateroom. It was a lot to bring on board, and was much heavier that I thought it would be. This year, I think I will be scaling down a bit for this year. Last year I shipped down my FE gifts since we were staying at WDW before the cruise, but this year it's just a cruise, and I'd like to save the $$ I spent on shipping. We got lots of gifts that were all wonderful. UCONN magnets ($22)

Last week I got 15 glow bracelets for $1 at Michaels. They were in a tube up near the registers. I used them in birthday goody bags. I want to get more. Think they will last until January?

We did our first FE exchange last September, and to be totally honest, especially if you're giving to kids, ANYTHING you give will be great! My boys were just so excited to see things in the FE, they didn't really care what they were. My older son (12) liked candy, while my younger son (7) loved getting beads and little toys. But mostly, they were just excited to get anything!
We gave a magnet with our trip dates on it and a goodie bag with pirate themed stuff in it that I got from Michaels. Have fun! |

Our trip is exactly one year from now, but I've already been collecting some items.
Right now, our Dollar Tree has a 3-pack of Disney "molds" that will be perfect for the beach! Since our cruise is a double dip at CC, I thought it would be PERFECT! At 33 cents each (since 3 are in a pack), I was able to make my budget stretch. Keep the ideas coming! I love it! Here's a link to a picture: http://www.dollartree.com/new-arriva...7866/index.pro
