I am so impressed by all of these handmade gifts. Unfortunately, I am not crafty and am so busy with 3 graduations, prom, special olympics summer games, a bridal shower, etc. So, my giftees are getting store-bought gifts that I hope they'll enjoy.
 

Here are the Fish Extender Gifts we did for our cruise from 5/15 to 5/19. I had mouse pads made with a photo of the ship and sail dates. I also made up little gift bags for the kids to bring to the movies with them. They were popcorn bags filled with different candies and a little clapboard with a photo of Steamboat Willie in it. We chose not to give out anything that was chocolate because I was afraid it would melt. I used gold labels with 'Let's Go to the Movies!' printed on it to seal the bags.











I was on the receiving end of your gift!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the mousepad - i'm using it as we speak!!! My son loved the popcorn bag o' candy!!! It was a very generous FE gift!!! Thank you!!!
 
I love your version ... you don't mind if I borrow it .... I am cruising again on the WBTA but I may not make the same thing ( in case anyone is browsing !! )

i'm browsing sarah ;) :rotfl:

Sarah & Karen.....I'm lurking behind you! I got some good ideas from here last year so I've started checking again! :goodvibes

:wave: I'm lurking too! :rotfl2:

And I'm crouching in your shadows! :rolleyes1 Great minds.....or just a very busy WBTA bunch. There are some seriously creative Dissers, that's for certain. I've chosen my FE gift from this thread...oops, can't say anymore because there are so many of us here :sad2:.
 
:wave:...Just wanted to say 'Hi' and this thread has been great! I came up with my own FE gift, and my dd is making our FE, so we can't wait to share! Problem is, I think ppl on our meets might peek, so I'm going to wait until we close the group before I post pictures. I really don't know how to 'hide' it anyway. I just learned how to put up a picture.

One question for all of y'all though: If my Fe gifts are bigger (they measure 10X9) should I use something to tie them so that they won't walk off? Or so they won't 'swim' off (all those betas are anxious...:rotfl:)? I've never done this, so just want to make sure that they get them. And I'll probably tell our group what night they should expect them just to make sure. Thanks :)

We received some of the best store bought gifts! Especially this one gift with the letters R-U-M on it. :cool2:

I so enjoy seeing all the creative gifts! Thought I would share what we're giving adults -- small watercolors of the ship. This is the first time for the Dream and this group was twice as large as the Wonder ones, but with a week to go, they are ready. Thanks for inspiring us to think of something homemade we could give!

Thanks for the kind words on the pics and the fireplace -- my husband, John, is the artist and the coordinator of the fireplace wall we just did this year, so he was super happy to hear your comment!
 
To answer the question on if these were bought or painted, they were painted. We gave these two times before on the Wonder and people seemed to like them, but there were less than 10 participants each time, so when it grew to 24 this time, I was a little concerned. Thankfully it went fine and I'm hoping all your nice comments help to encourage my husband to do it again next year!

By my calculations, you guys are the sailing right before ours! We sail on the 12th...I'm really jealous! Sure you don't want to hold out a few days longer?!?! These are beautiful!

Love the fireplace wall as well...the stone and the built ins are beautiful!
