Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[dolphingirl47]

Can I get an opinion please??? I just the other day thought of a FE gift that isn't too difficult, but I haven't seen anyone do it! So.

IF YOU'RE ON THE 8 NIGHT HOLIDAY CRUISE ON THE MAGIC PLEASE SKIP AHEAD! lol

I thought it would be a cute idea to pick up some of those little "brag book" photo albums (the ones with 20-24 pages to them). Then on every other page, put one of the clues to the ship's Hidden Mickeys, leaving the facing page open for a picture of that HM. So each family could use the clues to find them, take a picture of it (maybe even with them by it!) and put them in the book.

Good idea? Lame? I know for many FE participants, it's "not their first rodeo"...but I also know that not everyone has actually done the HM search. What does everybody think?

I love this idea.

I would love this!!! This is our 5th Disney Cruise and we have never even looked for any Hidden Mickeys.

Thanks for the quick replies! DH and I are thinking it would be best to put these together and make our rounds on embarkation day, so everyone has a week to look...I know one or two are a bit hard to find!

Love the idea. Would like to do a modified version for our 2 night Magic Cruise to Nowhere from NYC this summer. Please post about it after your cruise!

I love that idea. As someone who is craft-challenged I may need to "borrow" it.

 

[Disney's Fan]

You all are so impressive! I am in awe and you all scared little ole' craft-challenged me so much I backed out of the FE for our cruise. I bow to you all!!! You won.

Oh, and what is the name of the 'Disney' writing? Where do you find it???

Thank you!!!

Cruella, please don't leave your FE group!!! Plenty of people do store bought items, and we loved all our gifts whether they were homemade or store bought. Someone gave out pirate stuff which we needed for pirate night since I hadn't packed anything, and someone gave chapstick (no fancy label) that we needed, too! We also got stickers, gum, candy, hand sanitizer, pens, magnets, pocket calendar....and more that wasn't homemade. My family gave out Disney Trivia cards (from the board game) on our cruise. Please don't be intimidated by this thread....the excitement comes from getting a little surprise each day when you return to your room, and I can assure you nobody will be dissappointed with anything you choose to give.

This is my take on the painted frames for my FE. (I did put my stamp on it) hehe ----
I made 51 for our cruise last week. Most people liked them.

We love ours! It's on hubby's nightstand to reminds us in the morning how greatful we are to have taken a Disney Cruise and what such a great time we had!

Love this idea. My family would have lots of fun doing this!

I'm placing basic highlighters in my FE bags and was hoping my fellow DISers could help me come up with a creative saying to place on the label.

Something along the lines of...

Enjoy (or Cherish or Savor) the "highlights" of your Disney Dream vacation!

Any other suggestions?

Any suggestions or anyone know of any DISigners who make highlighter labels?

 

[bibbidibobbidiboo07]

We received highlighters which said "our cruise highlights" then had date of cruise. Not sure if someone designed it themselves or got someone to do it for them.

 

[LuvEeyore]

There are highlighter instructions much earlier in the thread on how to dothis yourself. Doesnt seem difficult at all

I saw the beginning of this thread where someone adhered tiny balls or something that made them look really cool. Can't tackle all that right now. Just need an easy printing option. We leave in 5 days!!!

 

[missyosmom]

How about printing your labels on the clear address labels/stickers? They come in several sizes so you could pick the one that would wrap around your highlighter the best. I like your saying - or something like "For your Magical highlights" - yours is better!

Thanks for the nice responses and encouraging me not to leave the FE group. I don't know...I think I still have time to think about it.

I loved the hidden Mickey book. WOW...there maybe a thought...would you give the books one per room, right? It would be cool if people could find them and take a picture of their family next to the hidden Mickey and put it in the book. How do you find where to look for them? I have a Hidden Mickey book but it's only for the parks.

KaryCam thank you!

I have the Hidden Mickey book for the Wonder and Magic. Let me know if you need any information. We leave in 9 days for Thanksgiving on the Wonder, so I'll put it to the test.

That is a good idea!
I know that there are other people in our meet that are newbies to the Magic like me. I think most everyone and especially kids would really enjoy going on a Hidden Mickey Hunt.

Maybe you could bring some of the hidden mickey clues or info to the meet and greet and people could do the search while on board.....That would be a lot of fun!

If your on the Nov. 27- MR cruise - Spoiler alert

I made cell phone bags for my FE. My DD complains that she doesn't have a good way to carry the phones. So I made these.

 

[Susiesark]

Dramamama, my MR cruise ends on the 27th, so we'll be at the port the same day....I want one!! Those are perfect for the WAVE phone on the ship!

Those are super cute! What a great idea!

Really cute idea for cell phones!
