Have you ever been dissapointed with a FE gift you have received???
I spent a decent amount of money on our FE gifts..they are personalized.
But because of this I can only give two per stateroom on the list.
I am afraid people will be upset that there were only two and not one for each person in the cabin. I know if I post this on our meets thread everyone will say that of course they would not be upset...but I would like to hear more opinions.
(sorry I can't say exactly what they are but my thread peeps are *everywhere*!)
No - it was always a neat surprise whatever it was! I also put a lot of thought and a little bit of money into a couple of my gifts and personalized things to the extent of the cruise dates & such. I tried to keep to $1 on a couple of things, but for example, I designed luggage tags and ordered them from Shutterfly - those were several dollars each. But that was my choice and not everybody chooses to spend more than they have to. But that's OK. I agree with others that if you sign up to participate you should give as well. That IS the point.
I came up with 6 things to give 'cuz at first I wasn't sure if I'd do just my assigned day or dribble stuff a little bit every day. In the end I decided to get clear plastic gift bags which I decorated with scrapbooking items and used rub down letters to personalize them with our thread name etc. and then I just went around once on my assigned day. Our organizer PM'd us the deck plans with everybody's cabin marked and laid out on them. We were a small group of only 11 cabins and I think it took me about 30 min. to go around. We had people on decks 8, 7, 6, 5 and 2, from one end of the ship to the other. I had put everybody's screen names and cabin numbers on the backs of the bags too since I'd personalized things to an extent so I had to be sure I was dropping off the right bag into the right FE - that may have slowed me down a little bit to be so methodical about it. All of my bags contained the same items and I just did one bag per cabin. I had one item that I put that was more for kids so I put one for each kid. I think most of the things we received were done in the same manner. It was not directed to individuals so much as the cabin.
