This helps as we prepare for our cruise. A few questions I need help with:I thought I would share my photos of my FE gifts from my last cruise in March. A lot of people are always looking for suggestions for gifts, so I thought I would start a thread where we can share what we have received.

Our FE plan was to get the front half rooms of the ship done. So we went through the list of cabin numbers and we sorted through all our gifts to find each cabins. Ma was handing out her gifts, Alicia and Andy handed out Gmas rooms gift since Kiss was sick, and Brittany and I handled our rooms gifts.
Our room handed out a Celebration button I made to everyone
And for the kids we gave them a trick or treating bag and a tube of glow sticks
Ma and Pa gave out dream catchers that Pa made
Gmas room gave out disney reusable tote bags and a photo album.
We started our FE handout at 5:15 just enough time to make it to dinner by 5:45.
READY OR NOT HERE WE COME!
My favorite thing about giving out the FE gifts is seeing everyones FE extenders as well as their decorated doors. There were also some peoples FE extenders that were literally bursting with gifts, that we had to leave their gifts on the floor near their door.
During our last 2 doors Alicia may have mixed up the gifts&but it all worked out fine and we were able to figure out the mistake. But then we still had one more of our buttons in our hands&..turns out it was one on the other side of the ship. We thought we could make it before dinner, we started walking down the hall. It never ended, just twist and turns and it was getting closer and closer to dinner time. We took a little jog both way and we decided to call that our Castaway 5K.
This helps as we prepare for our cruise. A few questions I need help with:
1) how do you let the people know the gift is from you? Do you not? Or do you put a tag that says something like, "from your friends in stateroom xxxx"?
2) how do you know the last name or kids names of people in your FE group in order to make personalized gifts?
3). If we don't know who is who within the stateroom, how do we know the DS2 doesn't get the DD7 gift?
4) what is the best way to "package the gifts"? Clear baggies? Or just give the gift in the FE?
Thanks for your help. We are excited about being part of such a big FE group but want to make sure we do it right!!!

You can do whatever you feel comfortable doing. I receive both with and without tags. I'm lazy so I've never put one on my gifts.
2) how do you know the last name or kids names of people in your FE group in order to make personalized gifts?
You will receive a spreadsheet from the group coordinator. It will contain cabin numbers and the names/ages of everyone in that cabin and usually every persons favorite Disney character
3). If we don't know who is who within the stateroom, how do we know the DS2 doesn't get the DD7 gift?
This info will be on the spreadsheet.
4) what is the best way to "package the gifts"? Clear baggies? Or just give the gift in the FE?
Either one. It depends on what kind of gift your are giving. I did little gift bags I got at the Dollar Store one time that contained small items.
