I have enjoyed following this thread over the last year as I prepared for our trip. You are all so talented and I've loved seeing all of your gifts! Now it is finally time for me share what I did for our cruise.
I made a Christmas ornament for the adults


and a game for the kids. I included a bag of skittles with the game to get them started.


I had a few frustrating moments getting everything done while taking care of my kiddos and finishing up school, but all in all, I enjoyed making them!

Can you explain what you are referring to?
Are we not allowed to share our creation and how to make them?

To my knowledge this had been done for as long as I have been on these boards

I'm not the OP but wanted to share what I knew:

Yes, you can share what you have made and how you did, esp so others can copy you and make their own.

No you cannot advertise your business on DIS (I.e., I sell these on Etsy...or I'll be happy to sell my extra ribbon to you, or my friend sells these, go to her store at xyz place, etc.). If you wish to share that info, get the person's email/PM and do it privately.

Hope that helps!

Very cute! Like the idea of Skittles as game pieces and not just giving candy out by itself.

Got it

I guess I miss the post(s) where people were doing that or did not notice it.

Just glad that people are sharing their creations and how to do them. I am amazed at how creative some people are here.

I LOVE your ornament. What is it made of if you don't mind me asking? It looks sparkly (my favorite thing)!

Does everyone put their nAmes on their fe gifts, as in who they are from? I'm doing several different things and just didn't know what everyone did. Thanks!!

I tend to have business cards printed through Vistaprint with my real name, DIS Name and email address and add them to the gifts.

I have only done twice but some do no name, some dis name, some real name. About equal amounts of each

I personally think names are nice. I like to know who gave the gifts and even where they are from. I usually print out a little poem or something that fits the gift andput our name and cabin number on them when we give our items.

Can you send them to me as well?

Does anyone have any bottle cap images they would be willing to share. I am trying to put some together for our upcoming cruise but can't find any the right size. We are going on the Fantasy so looking for characters or the Fantasy logo.

Thanks Ahead A Time

I wanted to share one of the items I have just created for our upcoming cruise FE. I am not very crafty, so I created a "survival kit". It includes two mickey mouse bandaids, two small Neosporin packets, some rubber bands, some post it notes, a highlighter, some safety pins and some WetOne Wipes. I also created a little poem that is VERY dumb and doesn't rhyme.... but I'll post it after the pictures...

We know this gift is boring, but oh so practical,
Perhaps you won’t have to use it, but we hope it’s so helpful.

Mickey Bandaids to help boo-boos, if you happen to fall down,
And antibiotic cream too, so you don’t have a frown.
*
Sanitizer Wipes for your hands, for when they get icky,
Safety Pins and Rubber Bands, if your situation gets sticky.

The Post-it notes’ for messages to leave your family,
And the highlighter is for you to Navigate a fun activity.
*
Pardon our horrendous poetry, and our really bad rhymes,
But on this cruise we know that all will have Fantastic times.

Hi- Newer to the disboards. Mostly a silent "looker" but thought I'd post some of my FE gifts here too. I hope you can see this picture. I am going to personalize them with the cruise date.
