Cheap gift mailed to my DD at WDW

[pooh2001]

Maybe not cheap - but less expensive than the Disney Florist
What would you mail your DD and her boyfriend who will be staying at the Boardwalk Inn for 5 days ?They are both 24 years old, with my DD turning 24 the day after arrival.
I would mail a package to her - tell my DD to ask for it, and also enclosed the $6 fee for package pickup.

I was thinking of lip balm, maybe hand sanitizers,...what else ?
Suggestions please

I'd give her the gift before she left.
When are they going? Sunscreen, lip balm, flip flops for summer.
If going in winter, scarf, gloves, that sort of thing.

What do they like?

Fancy face sunblock, a Disney gift card, thick cushy running socks, rain ponchos if rain is forecasted, reusable water bottles, gum.

Hand sanitize. Lip balm, sunscreen, Disney gift card.

 

[TikiBabe]

Disney gift card

How about a mini cake delivered to her room.

Save the cost of mailing and delivery fee and just give her a small gift bag of "Mama knows best" (lip balm, hand sanitize, sunscreen) and a gift card.

Love the idea of a Disney Gift Card - and the rain poncho's - one for DD and another for her boyfriend
Gum too

Maybe a sharpie marker too - to use for autographs or whatever needs their names.
They are going at the end of June 2019
She does not live close to us (1 1/2 hours away)
And a package upon arrival - I will tell her it will be there - would be nice to open.
Birthday card too - I can find one with princesses.

I also found a WDW blue water mister with a flexible fan I could send to her to use at the end of June.
I will send the 2 AA batteries to use too - they add the water.
It has a lanyard too - and they can ditch it at the end of their trip, if they want to.
She used it already twice in her younger years at WDW.

They are going to rent a car and go to another hotel on a beach - so maybe a blow up beach ball too.
Unless they can use the beach ball in the quiet pool at the Boardwalk Inn ?

She does not eat any junk food - cake, candy, donuts - she is a RN (nurse) - and eats very healthy

Emailing a gift card with a note would probably a better use of funds

 

[ForMyBoys]

You could try healthy snacks, like some type of nut or unsweetened applesauce.

The fan idea is so cute! As far as ponchos another option is to get a pack of disposable ones. You can get them cheap and that way when the rain is done they can throw them away instead of having to lug around a wet poncho. Maybe look at your local kohl’s or target for a Disney shirt for her (that isn’t as expensive as Disney store ones) or get her a custom one from Etsy. Target also has some cute Disney socks.

I got a 4 pack of mandarin oranges in their own juice - brand is Dole.
I am going to pack some cute napkins and 4 plastic spoons.

They can throw away the mister fan - we have used it twice already in WDW.
I will also send a pack of 4 AA batteries to use with it.
They can fill it with cold water and ice.
I think the BW Inn has ice machines near the elevator.

Her box is going to be likes by both of them

Gum, since they don't sell it at Disney.

This is the best idea.

I'm not sure about the dole fruit and hand sanitizer. Are you allowed to send liquids through the mail, or do you just have to state what it is?

 

[tink89]

so i might be the odd one out but I would not see the reason why my mom would buy me chap stick, sunblock hand sanitizer or any other toiletries and send them to my hotel while I am on vacation and more than likely will already have that stuff with me. It also sounds like a gift I would get for my DD who is 11 and not a gift i would give to someone over 15 years old. I would much rather prefer a gift card of $15 that i can use to buy some snacks or something.

 

[pooh2001]

I can tell the post office there is Dole Fruit in fruit juices in the box.
They can x-ray it or open it - as long at they repack it

Packaged fruit is not on the list
Just fresh produce

Agree. So much. I have a child about the same age who went to Disney with their significant last year. I purchased them Halloween party tickets and gave him a Disney gift card.

If I sent a package to the hotel with oranges and chapstick for him, I would get the biggest eye roll in the history of the world!

Sorry but at 24 I'm sure she knows how to pack her own chap stick and buy her own snacks. I would stick with a gift card
