Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[jessica52877]

Okay, Hope this works...

Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to make one of these just because but it will be a great thing for our next cruise too! I really didn't have anything great for the adults and made bookmarks but no where near as cute!

 

[LittleDisneyLovers]

Definitely girls are a lot easier .... I have lots of ideas for the girls in my group.



Your kids' gifts are great
So what are you making for the adults in your group

Thanks Sarah.
Love to share my adults gifts, but there seems to be these lurkers from my group who keep coming back!

 

[Bareacuda]

Ok... now I have to admit... Im the lurker!

Thnks for all the suggestions, and I think I have all the gifts worked out. I hope.
Now I have to work on them

I'm a lurker also. All of your FE gifts are beautiful. I'm not that talented.


I have to ask---
What are jelly babies???

I think some age groups would still love an activity book. My boys are 7, 13 and itellectually challenged 20 year old, so I thought this would work for all of them? I PMed the 20 year olds mum, she seems to think he will.
I actually made a book for an 11 year old boy friend that we are meeting in WDW, I put mainly POTC stuff in his.



I agree girls are easier! Idea's I also thought of for boys were - disney bow ties for formal night, pirate stuff, a water gun for pool, disposable camera, ...... you should know better than me, you have a boy!



I forgot to add, I am also sewing a small polka dot tote bag to carry it in!

You are WAY more creative than I am... If we were leaving from PC I would be better off as I could impress you all with my baking skills But, alas, I can't really bring 50 or so cookie pops or baked yummies to Spain...

My 13 year old is into sketching so an activity book would be good for him, he is looking forward to dressing for formal night, he would LOVE a squirt gun (not so sure the OQ counselors would appreciate those)... When I asked him what he hoped to find he said "anything mom! Its gonna be so cool!" So, I am sure he will love it all!

I have some special stuff for the kiddo's, but my one craft item is for the cabin... I just hope that everyone likes their goodie bags!

Still getting over the shock of NO Jelly babies!!

Obviously a must for my cruise, along with the tubes of Smarties.

As you may have guessed, I am absolutely no good making stuff

However, I can't believe how inventive and clever people are on here.

Thanks for the suggestions and if anyone else has experience of something that came from the UK that you particularly liked, do let me know.

Thanks for all your help.

I agree, what are jelly babies??? All this talk about candy is making me hungry!!! I wish I was on your cruise! I don't cruise DCL til next year on the Dream!
This is a great thread to get ideas from! There are a lot of creative people on here!

And another one!
Jelly babies are the best, I'll have to bring some now!
My cabin is not one on the "stateroom tour", but I might give a few bags to another cabin to share, Maybe Sue????

Sue

Sue, I can make an activity book for Stephen if you think he would prefer that?
I'm sure we'll all love everything, especially those handmade craft gifts that peoples sweat and tears have gone into, they are so special!
Sue, Can I drop some Jelly babies into your room for the stateroom tour?
Do you get Allens Snakes? I was looking for snakes for the boys packs, but might pop a packet on Allens Snakes in instead?

I am back from my Med cruise now and once I downloaded the photos from that, I will post a photo of my gift.

I now need to start thinking about what I will do for the Transatlantic. At the moment I am drawing a blank. I am sure I will come up with something between now and then though.

Hi Sue I am sure we will all love your craft item, I love hand crafted items the best.

Corinna

Look forward to seeing your gift Corinna. I think I know where I am going with the Transatlantic gifts now ... struggling a bit for the men though.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Corinna--I can't wait to see what U came up with. I loved what we got on our cruise with ya!! Wish I was joining you again!

I was wondering what to do for Stephen.....I think I have some ideas now

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!

These are really cute Hayley. Trevor was really into princesses a couple of years ago and still has a little set of figures he gets out once in a while.

There are some really good ideas on this thread...I'm not using any of them this time, have come up with something different for a cabin gift (will post a photo when we come back) Have to agree with the other posters-girls are definitely easier!

Thanks Janice, I hope he likes it, Still adding a few things to it, Found some great Australia Flag pencil cases yesterday to put the fact cards in.

Some of the people here are so creative! There are some great idea's.
I think I've come up with something new....maybe, well there aren't any photo's here anyway. Fingers crossed everyone likes them!

As promised, here is what I gave as my gift on our Med cruise:

I am leaning towards a goodie bag for the next cruise including some things that I have made and some other little things. I ordered the first part for this yesterday.

Corinna

 

[karentan]

they're really cute corinna!
because i've booked this cruise so last minute, i've not got time to make stuff, and because we're flying easyjet, we havent got the luggage allowance to take something too big!
i've come up with what i think is a cool idea, i hope my fellow cruisers like it! i've just bought all the stuff off ebay so just got to put them together when they all arrive!

They are very cute Corinna! You'll have to post pictures again after our WBTA, I'm on board but not in your group.
I'm having so much fun with the whole FE thing (it's our first cruise).

I will most certainly post pictures after that. Things are coming together for this as well. I had no idea what I was going to do when I got back from the Med cruise, but for some reason, I have felt really inspired over the weekend. Now I just have to make sure that my idea actually works.

We were booked to fly on Monarch and they have the same luggage allowance as Easyjet. We split the Fish Extender Exchange into groups of 12 cabins and this worked really well. I had a small ziploc bag with all the cellphone and bag charms, which comfortably fit in my pocket.
