Homemade FE gifts - Part 2

[Donald & Daisy Duck]

Does any have or know where I could find the sailor mickey and a dcl cruise logo graphic so that I can use it to make ribbon for my FE project. I need it to tie into a bow and finish off the gift. I have no idea how to use photoshop or any graphic program so making one myself would probably be impossible

Oh, can you please share how you made these, they are very cute! Our cruise will be Western Caribbean. But maybe I could do just something from Castaway Cay.

I sent you a PM back

@Blueeys87 - the coasters are absolutely adorable. Great job.

Thank you

My wife and I want to give out personalized pens. Have any of you done this and it so, where do you get them from?

See if these help you out

I like the idea!! My only concern is actually a question.

Do you know how many items you can drop off at GS for signature? I for one, plan to drop off 2 or 3 things (if I can) -- two pillow cases for my daughters and one print mat for me. Not sure if I could drop off another one or not.

If so, no worries. If not, then your mat would go to waste (or I guess it could be given to another family that didn't know about the GS thing).

I don't know about the 'GS thing'...could you enlighten me? Thanks so much.

Sorry, should have been more specific you can drop things off to be signed? Is this by the characters? What are some things people get signed?

You can drop off 1 or 2 items at GS to be signed by the characters. We have never done it, but I know that people drop of pillow cases and picture mats to be signed. You need to drop them off at the very start of your cruise and pick them up towards the end of it.

Be sure to include fabric markers if you do the pillowcase idea. We were told a max of 2 things per cabin. I put them in a ziplock bag with our last name and cabin number written on it, and included some goodies for the CM's. I had heard gum was especially appreciated because you can't get it onboard, and I sent some chocolate as well. Nothing beats a good bribe!

I dropped off a scrapbook album and a pillowcase, I had dropped off the sharpies with the pillowcase, so when I dropped off the album, they just used what they had. It worked perfectly.

Vistaprint is a great and reasonably-priced website to order personalized things from!

I second that. They are great. I love what I got from them.

Just saw these notecards at Michaels yesterday (minus the Mickey bling of course!). Cute!

Thank you so much....these are perfect! Now I need to get to work on printing!

 

[C8eOg]

Thanks! That's where I got them - right out of the dollar section. Added a bit of bling and VOILA! Mickey notecards! Quite easy. I tied them up in ribbon and put them inside a plastic baggie so they don't get damaged. I am trying to keep all my FE stuff together in one place - sort of pre-packing. I have a few items that I'm going to put together once onboard. The "pirate decrees" - I made my own but used the ideas on here - I'll just pack those flat and bring rubber bands/ties with me.

Now tht my two latest cruises are over, I can post what I made. Bewteen the 2 cruises, I had about 50 cabins to deliver to. My original inspiration was the fact that Hawaii was going to be a 15 night cruise and I thoght maybe some poeple could use some games if they had down time in their rooms!

I hand pianted (not so well on some) mickey heads on the side of the dice with 1 dot, decorated the dice holder and then included some games along with balnk paper that could be played with the dice. I also made pens to match.

Love this idea! What did you use for the dice container?

I've searched the thread for FE gifts for boys age 16+ and have come up with pirate medallion, candy and glow balls (not sure if I've seen those).

Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Many thanks

Glow sticks, flashlights, wallet, deck of cards & hand held games

For the teen boys in my group (over 14) I got foldable water bottles, like this http://vapur.us/?gclid=CKfv3fHc1LECFUcbQgodUyUAqA
from the 99 Cent Store. I struggled to figure out something for that age.
