Ideas for Pre-Trip Gift Bags

[ccrosner]

I would love some help with ideas for gift bags. Ten of us are going to GF on Oct. 2 to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. It's really three "families"--mine (DH, DD7, DS8, and me), my brother's (DB, DSIL, DN15, DN14) and my parents. I wanted to send a "pre-gift" to get everyone psyched up for the trip and could use some other ideas.

Here's what I've bought:
One nice back pack for each group
suntan lotion
disposable cameras
Crossword puzzles (for drive/flight)
granola bars

Here's what I'm going to add:
reusable water bottle
Disney pin
WDW maps (if I can find them)
rain ponchos

Any other ideas?

Isn't it fun, doing a trip with several families. I am doing the same thing for our vow renewal next year. Here are a few ideas:

Disney Dollars for kids
Disney themed snacks
Disney frame (I got them on clearance at K-mart)
Wal-Mart has cute pooh unlined note books -perfect for autograph book
I also bought disney t-shirts on clearence at k-mart for adults
Stuffed animal the disney store has several for 5.99 or less

Also I have park maps from our may trip, it you let me know I can put some in the mail for you.

Walmart had the water spray/fans on clearance for $1. You could also add a lanyard to hold some Disney pins for trading, fat pens for the autograph books and what about a Passporter Book or Birnbaums Book. My kids love reading about Disney to get psyched up for a trip.

How about getting T-shirts, a different color for each group or the same color for everyone. With computer technology today, you could make your own and put something about the 50th on it.

I was thinking about doing this myself. Info from other posters suggest a "loud" color so you can identify your group easier.

Just a thought. I'm sure you're going to have a blast!!

Tell Mom & Dad congratulations!!!

TTFN,
Maria
