Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[ShootingStarMom2]

Love all the creative designs from everyone. Right now there are only 3 people in our FE, and they are all in my family! I hope that more people show up soon.

I think the cards everyone was asking about (the small packs with Cars, MMCH) are available at Big Lots for $5. I think there are 16? I was thinking about going back to get them. There were Crazy 8s, Old Maid, and another card game. I hope that helps if that's what you are looking for.

I just got done making our FE gifts for our upcoming cruise. I love how they turned out and can't wait to hand them out. If you are on the 9-26-09 Magic sailing.... don't peek!!! LOL

I bought a Laminating machine at Wal-Mart for under $25 and LOVE it. The bookmarks and kids game card were so easy to make. It will get lots of use in our house for the kids school things. I may even make up some things for Christmas gifts with it.

I want to be on your cruise, too! How cute your gifts are! Thank you for sharing!

Well, I am lurking alright. However, I will gracefully bow out of this thread now as I really don't want to see the adult gift ahead of time. As to me posting photos of my gift, you will have to wait until October 10th
I do not want to give away anything ahead of time. In any case, there is nothing to post. I still have not finished the gift for the older boys and I have yet to assemble to main gift. Hopefully this will done over the weekend.

I was just there, and I didn't notice them. I will have to look harder . Thanks for the update!

Here's a pic of the package of 24 that Target has (sorry for the bad pic quality, used my cell). It's about 12x10 inches.

These are awesome sets! I haven't seen them at my Target or Costco...well, I haven't looked in their Halloween section yet, actually. Gonna go check it out tomorrow!

I am finishing up my FE and need a little help. My mother and aunt read all the time. So they had a bunch of "smut novels". Well at least that's what I call them. We were about to put them in the yard sale or give them Goodwill and I thought -- FE GIFT. Something to read at the beach and then give to someone else or toss. So we have collect enough books for each cabin. I want to make a book and would like to put some type of wording on the bookmark but I am at a loss. Any suggestions?

You guys beat me to it, I bought a pack at target yesterday for my November cruise. My target also had some of their $1 items 75% off - I found kids swim goggles and beach balls for a quarter a piece.

Depending on which ship you're on -
"Reading is a Wonderful escape"
"Reading is a Magical escape"
Too bad you're not on the Fantasy! It would fit right in with the books!

Or maybe something involving Castaway - like I've been Castaway by a good book...That's not so great, but it's a start!
Good luck!

 

[dolphingirl47]

Well, this whole Fish Extender business is definitely a labour of love. I am in the process of putting the main gift together. 70 down, 30 to go. This is taking much longer than I thought it would. Tomorrow I will finish off the last gift and then I will take some photos so that I can post them as soon as I get back from the cruise.

Two days ago these weren't at my Costco. They are a little different than the card games shown above, these are stickers, pencils, and tatoos.

Weird how they're different from Costco to Costco.

 

[tampabrat22]

Could I ask how much these cost? And has anyone seen these at Sam's Club? I dont have a Costco membership!

 

[Cheryl726]

Mindibellcm, is one of your family pics of you all wearing Red Sox outfits? I can't quite tell, but that's what it looks like. If so, that's great!
