Fish Extender (FE) Gifts - This is a fun "game" that is like a Secret Santa type idea. This description really fits on this cruise (Secret Santa)
Participating in the Fish Extender Gift Exchange will be limited to those who sign up PRIOR to the 45 day mark for the cruise. This is to encourage participation in the thread and to lessen the last-minute sign-ups which could happen. It also gives everyone adequate time to prepare supplies.
This means the deadline to sign up is
QUICKLY APPROACHING:
November 7, 2012.
Guidelines for our fish extender:
1. Each cabin is to provide AT LEAST one gift to each cabin participating in the fish extender. You can provide a gift to each person within that cabin, just the kids, or one gift for the whole cabin...that is up to you. Of course, you are welcome to give more than one gift...but the minimum is one.
2. All gifts are to be delivered between the cruise leaving port on Saturday December 22nd until 4 PM on Friday December 28th. This gives people time to still be able to pack their bags before we leave the ship the morning of December 29th.
3.Please include a tag with your DISboards user name on the gift. This way everyone knows who the gift is from.
4. To take part in the FE, please provide JoeSchmieg / Joe (I know my DisBoard name is sooo creative ) the following information (see below). I will post the master list periodically in this forum.
-DISboard user name
-stateroom number
-number of adults in the cabin
-number of children as well as their gender and ages
-anything else you want us to know (allergies, etc)
-personal e-mail address, so I can send the final list with cabin numbers
5. Dont forget to check back to this thread with all the information!!!
Note:
I will keep 2 lists, the one published here will NOT contain cabin numbers. Only the list e-mailed to those participating will contain the cabin numbers to maintain some level of privacy.
After the sign up deadline of November 7th, I will complete master list for us to share. Then youll know how many FE gifts to prepare with the cabin number of where to deliver it.
Is anyone in Concierge? Does anyone know how to deal with this potential issue with getting FE gifts delivered to those in Concierge?
Let me know if I am forgetting anything.
Thanks!
Joe
PS: Here is a list of IDEAS of what you might want to bring for the FE on the cruise...to add to your packing list if you'd like:
1. The FE gifts that you are making/preparing -- total number will be announced after our November 7th sign up deadline.
2. An FE pocket/hanger to hang outside your cabin. You can find them on eBay by searching "Fish Extenders" or you can make one or search on line other places.
3. A zip tie to help attach your FE HANGER. Some people have commented theirs have sadly walked away...but if you attach it with a zip tie...then it is not as likely to walk away.
4. Scissors to cut the zip tie when you're packing...LOL! Don't want to leave it for someone else.
5. On the forum, some people recommend bringing thank you notes so you can write a quick note to the person who gave you a gift.
from today we are outta here... Well outta STL that is... 
Remember its a surprise for some of the Barnetts...
