Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[paulasillars]

I've been reading this thread on and off for the last few days. What an amazing bunch of crafty people you are. I'm totally in awe.

I am now mulling around a few ideas for our WBTA - I think I might have left it a bit late but maybe for our next (as yet unbooked) cruise

Hey Paula, what are you doing sneaking round here? Sarah and I have been bumping into each other for a few weeks here! It's OK, Neither of us have "bagged" anything on this thread yet!

Hey everyone! I am needing ideas for gifts to give teen aged boy and girl. Help!

For the girl you might consider lotion or nail polish. Also those net foofoo things for the shower are neat.

Boys - key chain, deck of cards, chapsticks (good for girls too)

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

Help me! I am all organised for most of my FE gifts, but I have a 7 year old and 13 year old boy that I'm a little stuck on.
I was going to make up a pack with some figurines of Steve Irwin and Australian native animals with fact cards about them. I know the 7 year old will like this, but the 13 year old??? I have friends with kids that are 11 and they would still like it, but 13 may be pushing it? What do you all think?
Please help!!!

I think it is a great idea! Go for it!!

My son just turned 14 and he would like the animals and facts

Oh, Thanks so much!
I have made the coolest activity book for the girls, they are A5 size with personalised laminated covers. They are over an inch thick with all kinds of disney colouring, activities, wordsearches, mazes, etc..Then I attached a pencil case with the ring binders, filled with pencils, sharpener, etc.. It also has a sticker pages and lots of stickers. It came out really great, But I just know that even if I tailored it to boys they just wouldn't like it.

My 13 year old is into history, starwars and the military... He is very excited about our next cruise as there is so much history to be seen... Not to mention all the people from all over the world! He is a bit besides himself as he will get to meet people from about 10 different countries...

Hope that helps...

Hey Sue, what are you doing lurking around here.......Since your 13 year old is the 13 year old in question!
I think I have it under control now, and I think he'll like it, Thanks!

LOL great minds huh?

I have even started to put my plan into action ($ spent on supplies) after reading this but haven't created anything yet. I'm on a horrible shift this week so will have a try to do something at the weekend

I think this is such a great idea .... and it would work for boys under ten I would think ....especially if it was personalised.

YAY! Supplies are the first step, so you have technically started on your FE's!

Hi Paula

Hey Sarah. I love the way the books came out, they really look great, I will post a picture when I work out how to. The boys came out great too, I bought a Steve Irwin pack each with figurines of Steve, a croc, a kangaroo and a koala, then I have done about 15 laminated fact cards about some Australian animals, with a bit of history, a photo, a description and fun facts about them. Just a few finishing touches to add to the boys pack. Looking for a snake as well.
I'm also doing a small thing for everyone in my FE (kids and adults, 1 each) that I think the kids will love.
Next to get started on the sewing for the cabin gifts Would love to tell you but as your on my list and I just don't know else is lurking....will have to stay secret squirrel

I think the boys would absolutely love this idea ..... and no sneaky peak on the cabin gift

Ok, So here's the girls, you can't really tell from the pictures, but this over an inch thick, it has the pencil case attached with the rings at the back. The pencil case has a set of coloured pencils, a whiteboard pen with eraser (for the laminated activities like 'tic tac toe' etc), some lead pencils and a sharpener.
I also have attached an envelope of princess and other disney stickers and some laminated sticker pages.
Any other ideas?

Boys, I haven't finished, looking for a snake and something to put fact cards in (maybe pencil case?)....Ideas???

Any thoughts or improvements would be appreciated!

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

OMG, My photo's are MASSIVE, Thought I was so cool loading photo's like a big girl.....SORRY!!!
How do I make them smaller?

I am looking for ideas... What else...

The girls are so much easier in my mind...

MI'M a bit gutted - no one seems to want to fe on my cruise :-( never mind - more room for souvenirs!!!

 

[Arizona Rita]

LittleDisneyLovers~ that is so cool! When I was reading about it I thought, I want a set. I think boys will like the same type of set, maybe the "boy" character on the front.
