Gift Basket Ideas

[juliadan]

Was thinking of doing a gift basket for my husband-we're celebrating our anniversary and also for my girls 3 and 5-I have some ideas but would love to hear some more, especially for my husband. Thankyou

I would too, juliaden.

We're celebrating our 15-year anniversary onboard, and we have a 9-yo DD.

First, think of what they like to do..

Like for my hubby..he likes microbrew beers, great cigars, belgian beers etc..so I would probably put something together like that for him.

For little kids...like people have posted before...have the sand toys and some juice boxes, smaller snack items for the cabin, sun glasses, stuff like that, fun stuff, that you don't want to have to pack.

Well, since this has been on here a while, I can give it a shot

There are the two standard options:

The Perfect Gift:

Disney's own gift items:

There is always the Romantic Escape at Sea package:

This is the DCL mantra on the website:

"Can we celebrate a special occasion?
Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, birthday, honeymoon or other special occasion, please have your Travel Agent advise us of such occasions at least three weeks prior to departure. We will be happy to celebrate the occasion in our dining rooms. We also offer a great variety of fun-filled baskets, merchandise and other goodies that will get your cruise off to a perfect start."

If you want to do a more themed thing, you can probably buy the items and hide them in your luggage untily ou get onboard (carry-on would be best). Then in the lobby or after boarding, ask a CM to deliver it to your stateroom.

Just some ideas to start the ball rolling.

Good Luck!!

If you haven't decided on where to get your baskets, I'd suggest The Perfect Gift. The owners Shirley and Norm frequent these boards and every one raves about there caring and ability to provide fantastic service. Mark

Hello Julia,
In all honesty, most of the time I will not post on a thread about my shop, but am doing it this time - I would be most happy to help you create something for your family and will stay within your budget - just give me a call several weeks before your cruise or sooner if you would like to send something down to make it more personal - we incorporate it into the gift basket at no extra cost. the phone number is 800-950-4559 also if you are going on the Western cruise, we'll be happy to enclude a Key West packet so that you will have something to go on before you get to my home town.
If I can help in any other way, just drop me a note at snelsonbrown@aol.com
Always
Shirley
