Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

Which songs did you end up using? We got a couple of music cd's on the EB Repo last year. We really enjoy listening to them.

Smeecanada, I am Texas Disney Fans husband. The songs we used on the CD were -

1. Intro - Ships horn
2. Lets get it started
3. Kokomo
4. Southern Cross
5. Margaritaville
6. Cupid shuffle
7. Hot Hot Hot
8. Escape
9. Volcano
10. Cha Cha Slide
11. Drink up me hearties
12. Under the sea
13. Jump in the line
14. Two Pina Coladas
15. Livin La Vida Loca
16. Three little birds
17. Cheeseburger in paradise
18. Banana Boat
19. Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride
20. Hoist the colors
21. Intro - Ships horn

We had a lot of fun putting the CD together and deciding which songs to use and what order to place them in.

Question?

Some of the items people receive sometimes look too big to fit in the fish extenders. What do people do if they can't fit the item?

I know that all our of items that we both gave and received fit fine in the pockets. (for one thing the beach ball was not inflated)

For us, our bags had hand holds so we could have left them on the door knob. Otherwise, I may would have approached the room stewards about putting the item inside their room for us.

do you normally do gifts for adults and gifts for children, or just 1 general gift for the whole cabin?

We had a mix. We had a few that were 1 gift for the whole cabin, some that had multiple items which covered both adults & children in one bag, and then it seem that most of the rest did something for both. Hope this makes sense.

Our group kept is very flexible. I was very pleased with how it went.

I thought I would post these sucker wrappers/holder in case someone could use them as an FE gift:

Copy and paste these into word. Then click on "format" and in the drop down menu click on "picture", then go to the "size" tab and set the height to 6.22 inches, click the tab button on your keyboard and the width will automatically correct itself to 2.59 inches. Thenk click "okay".

If you set your margins to .3 you will be able to get 4 on a page.

Once you have them all on a page...cut out around each image. Use a hole punch to punch out the marked hole. Then fold all three lines, slide your sucker through the hole, wrap the wrapper around the sucker and secure with double sided tape.

The size for the sucker holder should be 4.4 inches by 3.5 inches and you can get four of these per page as well.

To make the sucker holder...all you have to do is cut along the two lines on the middle right side of the holder. Then slide them stem of your sucker through the slits and you are done! No tape required.

Hope someone can use these.

I know that I should wait until after the cruise to post these, but I think that they turned out really cute and I can't wait to share! So, if you are on the 10/10/09 Eastern to St. Croix, close your eyes!

I bought the blank bags and used iron-on printer paper to personalize them, the magnet is a picture from the DISign board, and my favorite is from the kick-bags (hacky-sack). I found blank ones from Oriental Trading Company and the kids helped me decorate them. The picture doesn't do them wonders, the swirls have a few "hidden Mickeys" in them.

OMG I love teh 1st ones!! How did you do that???

 

[karentan]

for gift number 1 i got a design off someone on the creative boards. she was really nice and made it so that when i printed it off, it was the exact size that i needed.

gift number 2 i did on my own

 

[binky1]

So cute! Wish I was on your cruise...

Yeah, well, you're on mine - and you get what you get and you don't get upset!!

If I could trust you Double Dippers not to look I would gladly post a picture of my adult gift but since I don't, you'll just have to wait..... (and I'll post one when we get back....)

Cheers!!

 

[karentan]

If I could trust you Double Dippers not to look I would gladly post a picture of my adult gift but since I don't

thats why i left the tags off mine!
i've accidentally already seen what someone on my cruise is making, so i decided to make it a bit harder, ie: you specifially have to click on the link, not just scroll past it!!
i forgot to take a photo of my gifts last year, so i thought i'd get it in before the cruise, while i remembered!!

 

[disneyfreak1]

I disagree with you....you are very creative! Love the ideas!
