Treat/Gift ideas for group

[pmoniz]

I always like to do a little something for the group of people who join us on our cruise, but seem to be running out of things to do.

 

I've done the bags of toiletries, door banners, koozies and tshirts. Does anyone have any suggestions of something I can do for our group? Or should I just resort back to something I've already done?

You can usually get nice canvas bags at decent craft stores. They make great beach bags.

Not sure what you want to spend, but they have some cute trinkets here. :)

The Honeymoon and Wedding board has lots of ideas. Search for 'OOT bags'

For a group of mostly first timers I did little gift buckets with a vinyl sheet and dry erase marker, highlighter, pen, tissue, a water proof pouch to go around neck and a bottle opener oh and clothespins for the shower curtain lol Found everything in the dollar bins at target on clearance!

On my first cruise, my sister's 3rd, she got double walled cups and decorated them with our names for everyone in the group so we could maximize free drinks. Best gift ever I did not spend any money on drinks!

Thank you for your suggestions so far!

 

be.cool464 - I thought about the insulated cups as well. Not sure they'll use it for free drinks...but can absolutely use it for whatever they'd like!

To ward off any possibility of rain on your vacation I like to pick up plastic parkas at the dollar store as gifts.

My sister and I make and play cruise bingo. For example, we have one for embarkation day with things like family wearing cruise shirts or people carrying 12 pack of Pepsi etc. we like to people watch and this helps pass the time as we wait to board. Could offer a prize. We also do one on a sea day/ elegant night.

We did underwater camera's, beach bags and a beach ball with some candy and mints.

What about a bag containing materials for decorating cabin doors followed by a contest for best design that everyone can participate in voting for the best door and a little prize - maybe a bucket of beer or something?

Baseball caps or visors with a group name, the ship or destination with the date. Coffee mugs with everyone's name on it and above info. Plan a private party through the ship. A voucher for a drink.

I'm not a door decorator but that sounds fun!

For my Nieces I gave them small white umbrellas (about $5 each) that were made to pass out at outdoor weddings. No rain but they used them for shade while waiting for tenders back from HMC. I also gave them enough Glo-stick bracelets to party on deck every night.

I am doing the same for my family.

 

Each bag is a canvas tote with a stenciled on anchor design with the date we are sailing and on the front side I have stenciled on "keep calm and cruise on",

 

Each of the bags contain:

A razor and shaving cream

bath gel and shampoo/conditioner

Travel sizes of the following: Advil, pepto, Dramamine, bandaids,

for the girls nail polish remover and nail polish, deodorant, downy spray wrinkle remover, dry shampoo and hairspray.

Travel airfreshners and for those driving the car ports from yankee candle

Bath and body works hand sanitizer minis,

Krave Jerky

Homemade travel mix,

homemade chocolate covered oreos with an anchor design

homemade cookies

Kruig Coffee pods and hot coco pods for the hotels we are staying at.

 

I will also probably make shirts too to put in them with the same anchor and keep calm and cruise on theme.

Very cute! For the adults - airline sized liquor bottles, with a side of AlkaSeltzer. :D

Thank you, I got the idea from wedding gift bags I have seen on pinterest. Then just kept adding things whenever I see sales for travel sized items. plus a few of my favourite things like the jerky and other snacks that travel well.
