Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[disfunfor3]

Would those photo sleeves for refrigerators at home work for the door for FE gifts? The recipient could slide in a picture in, or write a message?

I would like that! Especially if you add a picture of the ship or a character in it. That way they can use it right away!

This way we can just deliver once, but the recipient can open a new envelope each day!

LOVE this idea!

They are not home made, but I was at Micheal's today, and they had card games, pens, pencils, notebooks and more that were between $1 - $4. I picked up a bunch of stuff for the kids on my trip

So I just discovered the whole FE concept today and jumped on the bandwagon. Between the ideas on this thread and my own ideas, my crafty brain is starting to smoke I think! lol. Now just narrowing it down to what is the most cost effective to do!!

What I really do best is baking. I'd love to give everyone my signature cupcake of a chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate ganache and iced with buttercream. maybe with some mickey sprinkles... .but I'm pretty sure they would not make the trip from Kansas very well!

I'll have to think of something else

So, if I meet you halfway, I bet they'll make the trip to Colorado just fine!!!!

Probably not. Plus, they might confiscate them at the port. DCL has a ban on homemade goods for health reasons.

I found a lot of little things at Michael's before our sailing last time.

Robin19871, your charm bracelets are beautiful! It can get real expensive, though. I think I spent about $270 on our FE gifts, but we had over 90 people! It still was a great time, and I can't wait to do it again next March! I would also like to know where you ordered the Disney charms, if you don't mind sharing...

We are sailing on our first Disney Cruise in September, and are so excited about the FE's! I have lots of ideas for the "Girls", but am really stumped as to what to do for the teenage boys! Any of you who have been on a cruise with teenage boys, what was their favorite gift to get in their FE?
I'd love to make something.
Thanks for all your fun ideas!

Boys 11 and up are tough! All I have come up with is a frisbee, mini football, water ball, candy (stay away from sticky things and gum as many have braces), mini flashlight, etc. There just isn't much for under $1 for that age other than what I listed.

Candy for the movies is always a hit! Also, state quarters from your home state!

I love these necklaces!!! Especially that yellow and black mickey .

My question is how do you attach the bail? Can you show a picture of the back?

TIA,

Can anyone advise where you can get these clear glass tiles? I've tried my local craft store (AC Moore) and nada. Nothing. Zilch. I'd love to make some of those necklaces but I'm just not finding these. My search on the internet came up with almost $3 for 2? Is that right? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Do a search on Etsy. There's one I get them from that includes the bales. I think the cost is pretty reasonable.

Hi, I get mine on Ebay from member those-sweet-sensations. She is excellent. The cost for 50 is $15.00 + $5.50 shipping.

 

[7evans]

Those are all great ideas! thanks!

More ideas for the boys:

keychains
drink coozies
AA batteries
bandana
sunglasses

I know this is the homemade thread, but I gave up on trying to do something homemade for the teens. Instead they will get something "home assembled."

hehe, the people at Michaels thought I was crazy. They kept sending me to the mirrors in the wedding section.

A nice DISer told me to google this:

1 inch 60 CRYSTAL CLEAR Textured Glass Tiles Squares for Magnets Pendants HIGH PROFILE

It will take you to some people who list with ETSY. I have ordered from Sun and Moon twice and items arrived quickly.

I did not order 1" tiles, but that search got me to where I needed. I made magnets with 1 7/8" squares.

That's exactly where I get mine. There's even an option to get the bales included.
