I think that alot of boys would like a little box to keep their treasures in. My boys would like a little treasure chest...and they're teens!

I'm having a hard time coming up with something for boys (I have 4 girls) so I'm not use to buying for boys. any ideas would be helpful. I don't think they would like memento boxes , but I could be wrong.

The boys definately like little pirate trinkets like tattos, Pirates Of the Caribbean stuff, etc. Target has had some cool Disney stuff in their dollar section. Our last cruise we got a lot of stuff from Oriental Trading. HTH!

Thank You , I'll make them a memento box too. That makes it alot easier. Of course every kid likes candy I'll have to check out oriental trading also.

These are very clever. Love the one with Mickey's head in relief. You guys are so talented!

Thank you! The credit really goes to my sister. She came up with all the ideas and made some samples for me to pick from.

I have NO idea what you are talking about with the lurkers!!

I couldn't see the pix at work, but just saw them and these are ADORABLE! You are very creative and my DD will LOVE them!!!

Sure you don't want to slip and post the pix for the ladies?

Lurkers? Who would be lurking? Not me for sure..... My son may need one of these cuties for HIS hair....

Lurkers....what lurkers?? There are no lurkers here! We are all openingly trying to see what you are making!

i can't see the pic at all but it sounds very cute!!

My girls thought of giving the kids in our FE little plastic bottles so they could gather some sand and water and maybe a dinky little shell , We were going to make tags that say "Castaway Cay in a bottle" and tie it with raffia. My question is will the water go nasty? I think it sounds like a cute idea Has anyone ever done this?

I think it would be cute if you did it with craft sand and shells from the craft store(the ones on CC seem to be mostly white) and leave out the water. It would still be a fun souvenir of CC day. I would skip the water due to packing concerns for you and the recipients.

Wow! I wonder why you can't see the pic! It shows up fine for me.

I'm not sure what the rules are for CC, but when we went on the Eastern Cruise in 2007, we were told that it was a $20,000 fine for bringing sand back from there in case they had any bugs or parasites in them...

Bummer. There goes my idea of CC sand in a bag. Oh well.

 

[GoofyTraci]

I didnt know this...and I already picked up some sand bottles for us to take some home. Is this posted somewhere on the ship or the navigators?

Not asking bc I dont believe you I just wondered how people know?

 

[dolphingirl47]

I know last year they announced it on the trams back to the ship that no sand can be brought back. No explanation was given though.

I can't remember where we were told that we couldn't bring back sand. I feel like we read it somewhere. I do remember them telling us, if everyone took a seashell off Castaway Cay then there would be none left, or something like that...

just wanted to post that today when I was in Stop and Shop (grocery store) they had the mini packs of Disney cards, 16 in a pk for $3.50 and also had boxes of stickers (small size) 16 for $3.5o. Mini parkers, 12 oks w/ 3 in each, 12pk mini princess notepads, 12 pks of crayons, 4in each box, and last a box of 20 count little bundles of stickers some were $2.50- $3.50. These were all in with the Hallowwen stuff. I wish I had more younger cruisers on my cruise to buy these - most didn't have any Hallowwn mark to them so they would be perfect!

hope this helps someone!

Okay, I JUST finished mine. They have a month to dry as they are oils. I pulled heavy inspiration from other Disney artists but this is TOTALLY my style anyway so it was easy to do them. These are just for per cabin/adults. I'll sign them and then on the side of the canvas I'll be writing the cruise date. I have other little things for them the kids will like.

If you are on the 11/15 cruise, do NOT pan down or you'll ruin the surprise!

 

[cccory]

oh, my, those are beautiful!! I have been looking for something like these on ebay. You should go into business.

 

[ppiew]

WOW WOW WOW!!!! talk about TALENT!!!! I am lucky to sign my name legibly on a check! Sure wish I were on your cruise!! Those are AMAZING!!!!

THANKS!
I actually am in business but not doing Disney. I WISH!!!!! I paint horses. It's illegal and Disney Co. would take your home and everything if you tried. They do regular searches on eBay for people doing it too so that's why you don't see this stuff. Nope, I can only gift this stuff. But it's FUN to gift. I can't wait to give these away!

Oh my gosh, these are incredible!!! Can't you postpone your cruise one week so you can be on my cruise? Please!!!! When you said you paint horses, I was thinking you meant you paint on the horses. Yea, I'm a little slow these days!

What do you guys think about scrunchies and head bands made from Disney fabric? I'm short on ideas these days. Still need something for the boys on board. I have an idea but not sure how to theme it disney.

OMG... Those are AWESOME!! Are you sure you don't want to switch to the 11/14 double dip?? How are you ever going to transport them all?

 

[disneyfreak1]

Unbelievable! I so wish I was on your cruise!

Heck! I'd like to do BOTH cruises! forget postponing! And I'd like some Mickey scrunchies! You need to be on MY cruise! I'm sure no one would mind putting up an extra body in the cabin. I'll sleep in the tub. I snore tho.


HEY
Do you think if I painted 2 of a nautical Mickey, I could give one to the captain but also get him to sign one for me?

OMG! That just gave me an idea. I had been wanting to buy a print onboard and have characters sign it for my son's golden BD. Maybe I should have them sign a painting I'll have to do a bigger one though. OMG, what about each character signed one of themself? I smell a new thread! I need to find out who's on board! OH! And my niece would LOVE a princess autograph. OH OH!! Ideas!
