Yes, regional gifts are nice. Be aware that not everyone will appreciate candy (not me I love candy), or coffee (we don't drink it).

I would stick more with stuff we're known for here in Texas. I don't know that we're known for our candies and coffee, but definitely salsa or sauces. Like the kind of stuff sold by Fredericksburg Farms (love that stuff).

I love the stuff from the persons home! Id go with anything that is local that is a particular favorite of yours. If anything is liquid ish and probably wont be consumed on ship, please keep in mind carry on restrictions.

Are you from The south too lol ?

 

[I_love_Cruising]

I prefer something relating to the ports or anything Disney we are sailing to.


I don't like magnets, or other memorabilia from a place I have absolutely no connection to.
I would be kind of disappointed if I participate in a FE and I would get a bunch of stuff from different places and nothing in relation to the Disney cruise.

It sure looks like I'm in the minority with my opinion.

Then again, candy is different. I love all kinds of candy.

I love trying new foods but I agree I wouldn’t want magnets and stuff from places I have never been !

I think we’re known for pecans that’s why I’m giving Pecan Pralines unless someone is allergic !

We were part of a FE Cookie Exchange one year and I brought New Mexico Biscochitos. Another cruise was Hot Chocolate (dark chocolate bark with red chile). Everyone loved them because they were different. Yes, something unique from TX would be a welcome gift. NM salsa is better than TX!!!

Sounds delicious I may want to join your cruise!! I think your idea is great I know I would love it - always nice to learn about other areas not just the one you are cruising to as you are doing research on that one!

A cute enough magnet might get me no matter where it was from. LOL

I did postcards (with a small hello written on the back) and I made little bottles of sand and shells from my local beach (where the postcard was from) and attached that to a magnet. Hopefully that wasnt a huge faux paux. This was a small part of our FE, the rest of the stuff was Disney related and meant for use on the cruise.

My absolute favorite item received was a little make it yourself keepsake box/ magnet kit from Bermuda. The gifter included one of those small silver boxes with a clear window top (like a favor box), a few small shells, a charm and a small baggie. The inside of the box was decorated in a beach theme, the outside had a pearl "Mickey" and some rope around it. A postcard attached explained that the baggie was for collecting some pink Bermuda sand, you could then place the sand and trinkets in the box for a sweet keepsake. There was an optional magnet included in the kit. I opted to use things I found myself on the beach in Bermuda (we found a lot of brightly colored "sea plastic" that I used). Anyway, I love it and it was my favorite FE gift, though I loved the ones where people shared some of their home towns too!

In Texas we make HOT SAUCE not salsa....lol

 

[Lizgistix]

That's kind of what I was thinking of: something local that maybe other families can't get where they're from. Obviously I was going to throw in some fridge magnets. Years ago, Walgreens used to sell canned Florida sunshine in their tourist aisle at their beach stores.
