Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[GoofyTraci]

Thanks for the tips. I picked up the set at target today. They were 4.95 for a pack of 24.

I did see some others there but since my cruise is not on halloween I picked up the 24 pack bc it doesnt say happy halloween on them. Everyone is so sweet to post this stuff to help out others.

I also picked up some items in the dollar section for 25 cents. Thanks for that tip guys.

Have a great night.

Thanks for the price uncw89! I'm going to look around for these! I found lots of cute Halloween themed trinkets at the Dollar Tree today too.

I have been busy, busy, busy, making lots of stuff for our groups exchange. I will be sure to snap pictures and post here as soon as we return (dont want to spoil the surprise)!

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!

Yes, we are all in Red Sox gear! It was our Christmas cards for last year. This year we are doing a little different twist and also a little different twist to "Pirate" night.

Sorry to hijack, but I loved the "themed" photos. Last cruise all 6 of us did billy bob teeth, it was a riot!

Quick question... do most people put who the gifts are from on the FE gifts? This is our first time doing FE, and I wasn't sure what most people did. Thanks!

This is my first FE too. From what others have told me, I ended up putting from TJBAGGOTT (my dis name).

Yes, I'd say about 90% do.

i've written who ours is from on a postcard in the bags

 

[GoofyTraci]

yes we are putting our family name and dis name on them.

 

[tinkerbellmom1]

I made stickers to address each FE gift to the correct family (I'm personalizing some of the gifts) and then I made a tag to let them know who the gift was from.

I'm still trying to figure out how some of these crafty items work ! I'm the least creative person I know! I just keep telling my cruise meet friends that it is the thought that counts!

Here is a sneak peak of what I have made for the girls on my December 10th cruise. I know there are some "lurkers" from my FE exchange, so I will wait until AFTER the cruise to post pics of the stateroom gift and gift for the ladies.

 

[mmmears]

Do you give a gift for each person in the room, just one per room, or both? New to this and thinking I won't be able to participate due to space issues in our luggage.

So cute!! My dd would love them. Bummer we are not on your cruise!

 

[tjbaggott]

For our FE exchange, people were advised to gift however they want. If someone wants to gift per person or per stateroom for just children, or just adults, thats up to them. I myself am gifting to each person, except where there is a "couple", they will get one little goodie bag to share.

I did not do it for my first Fish Extender exchange as I only booked the cruise very last minute, but the second time round I did sticky labels and this time round I have little card tags on string. I have not labeled my main gift, but I will give this one out in person at the meet on the first day.

I absolutely love those.

The first time round, I gave one gift per cabin. Second time round we had only a few cabins participating and I gave a little something each day, some of them were per cabin and other days it was per person. This time round I will have a main gift for everybody aged 6 and up which I will give out at the meet on the first day. I also have individual gifts that I will put in the fish extenders at some stage during the cruise. For the late joiners, I have one family gift instead of the main gift, but also will give the individual gifts.

These are all awesome. I've so enjoyed seeing all the ideas and cannot believe how creative you all are. Definitely giving me some ideas for our next Christmas 2010 cruise.
