Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[morgansmom2000]

I looked into VistaPrint. How did you get them for free? When I created a 'free' item, I could only do one, and then still pay an arm and leg for shipping.

TIA.

If you sign up for their emails, you'll get loads of freebies. For the most part, you still have to pay shipping, but I don't remember it being all that high. HTH.

Hi everyone! Let me first say this is an AWESOME thread! It's taken me about 4 days to get thru it! o_0 hehehe....

I have a few ideas for FE gifts that I'd like to get opinions on if you all don't mind.. I won't give my cruise date info just in case some of my fellow cruisers on wondering around on here..

I was thinking of giving as part of the cabin gift a photo matt already signed by some of the characters.. ???
I was thinking for the women as part of their gift, giving them a Disney/Mickey themed Coupon book.. ???? My husband says this is not a very good idea since not all women use coupons. But I thought maybe if they didn't they could use it to store receipts or recipes..
I was also thinking of making (with my Cricut) a card/post card fromt the city port your visiting with picture tabs already in place (to insert your own pic) and stamped envelope so that when your in port you can mail it off to a loved one or friends.. My husband says this one is a hard one since some either may want to keep the card for themselves or not have or want to take the time to print a pic..
* I hope these ideas make sense.. I am in the process of making samples of these ideas and will post as soon as I'm done, but would really like to know what others think. I would like to try to give things that will be used, and I know I would use these but don't know that anyone else would..
Thanks so much for your input! Husbands can't always be trusted on their opinions! You guys are GREAT!!!!

Let me just say that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a coupon book! I always go through mine too fast and then I don't have my coupons when I need them. I would certainly use it!

I also ordered postcards (amongst other things) from Vistaprint for our FE exchange. Very pleased with the quality.

Marciemouse, Did you upload your own photo when you purchsed the postcards?

I think the pc idea is good. I for one would mail the postcard to MYSELF with a stamp from whichever port the ship docks! It is a great souvenir of the FE xchange.

I did a 'test' one today. Came out pretty well. The 'place stamp here' is within a Mickey head. And will be a 'cheap' gift in the end. I may create more than one design and give several to a cabin.

Sorry, not Marciemouse, but we handed out "homemade" postcards (by Vistaprint) too.
We used our own photos and added some catchphrases to it, then uploaded to Vistaprint and voila!

We even had our own postcards to write to friends back home!

That's the one we sent to friends .......

Hi All
Can anyone help me find a DCL cruise line logo ? I've seen so many on the FE gifts here, but I can't seem to find a link so that I can print off my own for my FE gifts. Thanks alot for any help.

I searched on this site and a few other threads for a cruise logo photo and when I found them I copied pasted them into a document on my computer and then printed it on labels for what I needed. Sorry I didn't save it... but a search would probably work for you also.

I found many of my logos by a Google (image) search. Try using phrases like Disney cruise line logo, or for character art, something like Mickey Mouse icon art. Some searches ended up leading me to posts on Disboards anyways.
