arrival baskets?

[disgram]

I am trying to put together arrival baskets for my two 10yr old DGDs and 4yr old DGS. I hope to use DisneyFlorist.com to order them. I want to add a few things and need some help as to how much these additions will cost.
I want to add two princess dolls, two princess hats and one pirate hat and a small Nemo. Can anyone give me prices on these things??? I thank you in advance for your help!!!!

Can I recomend Memories by Sarah (http://www.memoriesbysarah.com)

You pay a $25 fee for the first basket and $5 for each additional basket (fee includes shopping, packaging & delivery to any Disney Resort). No mark-ups here! She charges what Disney charges for merchandise.

We are putting together 2 baskets for our DDs (10 & 14) and she gives great personal service.

Sarah is great. I am currently working with her to put together arrival gifts for my DS9, DS7, and DD4. I gave her an amount I am willing to spend and an idea of what I wanted. She has emailed me several times to tell me what she has found and ask me questions. She even told me she found several of the items that I was looking for on sale. I cannot recommend her enough !!
Good luck and I hope your baskets turn out nice.

Thank you both. I have sent an e-mail to Sarah and told her what I wanted and if she could help. Actually sounds cheaper to some extent. Will let you know how I make out!!!

Again THANKS!!!!!!!

I am also using sarah for our upcoming trip, she has been great to work with, can't say enough about her.

 

[woodchuck]

I think I'm going to get 1 for DS!! This was a great post thank you

 

[Mickeys.friend]

I am going to contact her about baskets for my children for our August trip!! I already checked out her website. Sounds great!!!

 

[disgram]

Got an e-mail from Sarah last nite and she sounds really good! Am going to send some of my ideas and with what she has told me, I think it sounds pretty good!!!! I haven't checked out the whole e-mail yet as I wanted to let you all know that she had already answered my e-mail.

Thanks again!!! I will keep you apprised. Think that there might be others that are interested but don't know what will happen when they start this process. That and they don't know who to go with.

another vote here for Sarah - I've ordered 2 backpacks filled with gifts and monogramed items such as shirts and watches, lanyards, swim shorts and shoes, toys, mugs etc etc

She's been fantastic, gone out of her way to find the stuff and has been in contact at all times about it.

Its WELL worth the money to have that waiting for us when we get there!

Can someone give me an approximate amount of what their baskets cost? (and ideas to actually put in the baskets please. )

 

[disgram]

chewysmom,
I am taking my DGDs and my DGS and am hoping to get two Disney Princess dolls, two pricncess hats for the girls and a pirate hat and a plush Nemo for the DGS. Plus, maybe some snacks. It is my understanding that if Sarah can find it in the parks, you can have it put into the baskets. Those who have used her previously can tell you more.

I would also like some ideas of souvenir items that can be found in the parks that would suit a 7 DD. She loves Princesses but is also a sporty, adventurous girl.

I would like an autograph book; has anyone seen the photograph ones or should I stick with just the regular autograph book and add my own photos afterwards? I'm just wondering about the size of each and trying to carry it around.

I chose all my stuff from Disney shopping and a couple of things from the resort (like the mugs) and Sarah charges what the cost is retail (some of the things she found for less elsewhere) and then $25 charge for the first basket and $5 for the second.

So basically is $30 ontop retail to have her do the 2 backpacks for my boys.

heres a list of what I ordered to show how diverse she is in what she will get if you ask...

Son #1-
Mickey plush 12"
Autograph book
Tigger straw
Buzz trading set
resort keychain & refillable mug
Dash plush 12"
Cars swim tote personalized (gifts all into this)
Cars swim shoes
Cars tee
Buzz Lightyear lanyard

Son #2 -
b-day card hopefully from Buzz & Woody
Mickey plush 12"
Autograph book
Tigger straw
Buzz trading set
resort keychain & refillable mug
Buzz plush
Dash backpack (gifts all into this)
Dash personalized watch
Buzz swim shoes
Dash tee personalized
Buzz shirt personalized
Buzz swim trunks
Buzz lanyard

As far as the cost, that is all based off of what you put into the baskets/boxes. Since I have all boys we are using the boxes to save money. I only wanted small things, so I am spending around 35.00 a child. I lucked out on somethings since she found them marked down. Just send her a list of what you want, and she can give you the price.

Wendy,
How old are your China princesses? My dd will be 20 months old when we go. She is from Jiangxi.

I'd like ideas on what to do for her.

I'd love to get one for DS but it's so hard to find "cool" stuff for a 10 y/o!

It wasn't to hard for my DS9, but he loves disney. I got him his favorite character stuffed animal, a fanny pack, an autograph book, a big pen, and some snacks.

For your DS10 how about the epcot passport, a lanyard, trading pins, or just items themed to his favorite disney movie/character. I am sure Sarah would have great ideas to help you out too. She is really wonderful to work with and always on the lookout for bargins.
