Suggestions for joke on only brother

[rwade428]

My three sisters and I are cruising next april and we all have those clear glass piggy banks that we are stuffing change into for our cruise fund. We had a picnic on Labor Day at my sisters and made a big sign "Cruise Fund...Donations accepted". Then we handed it to my only brother for some change. There are 5 of us and he is the only one not cruising. He enjoys pouting about it at every opportunity so we got a big laugh out of his reaction to that. Then later my sister and I decided we would make him a gift basket for Christmas this year. "Things to do while my sisters are cruising" We're gonna fill it with puzzle books, a book on nassau, disney playing cards, our itinerary, and even a brochure for stateroom gifts. We will have a good laugh at Christmas this year and I know he will get a charge out of it.........are we mean

not at all. Order the free DCL planning dvd off the website to include and also give him a Buffett CD to listen to some of the music he will be missing too.

Excellant idea Wog!!! Anybody else have some ideas for the basket??

If you look at places like Walmart and Target now, you might find some end-of-season sales on things like a little blowup swimring and things like that.... pair of flipflops, sunglasses, etc... mickey mouse lollipop, printout of the deck plans with your room numbers circled... the cruelty could be endless

OMG.... how mean are the four of you? I would never do something so low to my brother. Only kidding! I don't have a brother! (But if I did he'd be getting a basket too!)

How about some snorkling gear. That is being marked down now too.

Be careful, or your brother may change his mind and go on the cruise! If I were him, I'd not even tell you girls, and just show up at the port. Surprise!

rwade, you are truly naughty (we'll get along just fine in April!)...Maybe a hawaiian/tropical themed shirt could be added to the basket for him to wear while you're cruising....

this is good! my brother opted not to book with my family and my parents............hmmmmmmmmmm

how about some pre-packaged cakes/desserts to 'enjoy' while you're having a chocolate souffle in Palo??

how about something Pirate for the Pirates night?

popcorn and a disney movie?? while you're at the onboard theatre?

Why not order a little cruise-themed surprise from Shirley at the Perfect Gift? She can add some special nautical touches to a gift basket for your brother and send it to him for XMAS?
