Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[Docjason2]

I got the soaps premade from ebay. If you search there you may be able to ask the maker where the molds came from.

Also found the bags online as well. They are called muslin, or cotton bags. I had to get that style so I could iron on the transfers.

I am trying to find some ideas on what to give teen-aged boys on our cruise. I was thinking of making some bookmarks with pirate skulls on them, but DH says "if I were a teenage guy, I'd throw that away." Nice, huh?!

My DS isn't a teen yet (he says he's a "keen" "kid & teen"), he just turned 11. So, does anyone on this thread have teen aged boys that really enjoyed their FE gifts? What did they enjoy most?

TIA!!!

How about doing packs of gum and/or chocolate re-done with pirate labels on them?

Wow this thread is amazing! Makes me want to book our cruise even more now!

My 13 year old got some comic books. He enjoyed them! I was impressed as I had no idea what to get that age group.

Just thought I would post a few photos of the F.E. gifts I made for the Westbound Transatlantic F.E. exchange. Because of the baggage weight restrictions it had to be something light-weight, asnd after much deliberation and inspiration from this thread I came up with these gifts.

For the younger girls I made bracelets with their names on.

and to the clasp I attached a Princess charm:

I also made some Mickey head hair clips:

For the older girls I made bag charms /key rings with their names on and "wish" and "star" charms to represent "wish upon a star" :

For the boys I made keyrings with their names on and a pirate flag charm. I think I added in some extra charms by the end but I didn't take any more photos :

For the ladies I made bag charms / keyrings with 3 charms: a "wish" charm and a star to represent "Wish upon a star" plus a Mickey head charm. I also used beads to represent the DCL colours ( more or less ) :

For the men I made keyrings using an anchor charm ... again I added more to these but didn't take any more pics.

These were all fairly easy to make, easy to transport and most importantly light weight.

I LOVE this thread. So many of you are so crafty, and I am so envious! Great job to all of you!! Now I need to get busy and start brainstorming...

I made these, they are magnetic bookmarks. Each person in the room got one.

 

[tjbaggott]

And Jennifer, I loved those bookmarks!! We received SO many homemade gifts, can I post a photo of homemade stuff given TO me instead of FROM me?

Post a photo of the one you have, I don't think we received anything like that. I'd love to see what you mean though!

It was a set of 3. The third one was an orange Pirate skull with Mickey ears. Someone took it.

Feb 2011 will be our 1st cruise. wanted to get some thoughts on our gift. We just finished the 1st 1 today. Should we ask the people in our FE if they would like them personalized? Any thoughts would be great. Photo is a link because I could figure out how to down size it.
