Welcome! I have copied how I explained the fish extender in previous messages. Also, just to let you know..you are welcome to participate in the FE but it closed last week, which means you may or may not get gifts from everyone as most people have done their shopping already. If you wish to join I just need real names, cabin #, ages and any allergies we need to know about. There are no dumb questions so ask away. This will be my families 4th and 5 th cruises and this is a b2b for us.
Hmmmm... Ok how to put this into words. I was overwhelmed at first on our last cruise when we had about 20 cabins with a minimum of 3 people. We did a b2b then as well. Total between both cruises I had almost 50 cabins and had made serious goody bags to all of the kids for every night. 2 large duffel bags later, just for FE stuff, I was thinking what am I doing??? Ill tell you what, I ended up with some of the most amazing and thoughtful gifts. I actually just hung up one of my gifts, a Mickey Mouse shaped Christmas ornament! We had a disabled woman make us all a large bag, knitted by her, since she couldn't get to the store without help. We even had simple things like a can of old bay seasoning from a family is a from Maryland, candy from the UK, small glass jars to put shells/sand in from our vacation spots, music CDs with music tailored to our trip. We had someone give out the small bar bottles of alcohol for the adults. You name it, you got it! Including baby powder (sprinkle it on your feet that have sand on them and it dries out the sand so it falls off easily). I LOVE my handmade key fob with the Mickey heads. There is no limit to these gifts/ideas. I came home with as much stuff as we took! I think dh and I were more excited than the kids to go back to the room to see what we got! Haha. My daughters fav gift was a simple dollar store eye mask with a Mickey button sewn on the top. My boys loved the homemade dry erase boards and glow sticks. The more people the more exciting I think..never know what your gonna find when you get back to your room. I don't think we got anything that wasn't useful in some way. I was so glad that we did it...hoping more people join our group, makes it more fun. I will have to look to see what pics I have from the last cruise, I'm sure I have pics of the awesome gifts we received! Doesn't have to be expensive unless you want it to be. I'm happy with a dollar store item with some personal touches. Hope this helps!
One week from today I'll be flying down to Orlando!!!! Guess I need to pack this weekend.
