Mabks0412 Posted July 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2016 So a quick background, my husband and I are going on a cruise April 2017 with a lot of his former military friends. It's a reunion for them. Most of them are new cruisers so I thought I would make a goodie bag. We are also their travel agents. Here is what I have so far, any other suggestions? I'm trying to put everything inside of the tumbler cups. Thanks in advanced! A tumbler cup. A lanyard. Ship map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie81 Posted July 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Small pack of rolaids. Lots of yummy food can make a tummy a little unhappy. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted July 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2016 How about a luggage tag (not a Carnival one - but one where they can put their name and address on in case something happens to their luggage, they can be contacted). Gum Some handy wipes a map of the buffet layout (so they know where all of the stuff is - deli, pizza, ice cream, guys, blue iguana, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louanne93 Posted July 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Five dice in a tumbler cup makes for a great game of liars dice! Don't forget cards, and hand sanitizer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyBeef Posted July 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2016 A quarter for the casino That's a fun one! I like that.:) Maybe have a tiny printed out note attached to the quarter explaining the purpose of it and a wish for good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv0828 Posted July 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Go to the Dollar store and browse around. I'm sure you'll see a bunch of fun but useless items - lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliair Posted July 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 29, 2016 WalMart has a travel section with lots of trial size tubes of hand cream, liquid germ soap, toothpaste, etc. By the time you're done, you're going to need GIGANTIC tumblers filled with goodies. Great idea you have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shih-tzu Posted July 29, 2016 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Before I contribute any ideas..... how many people/goodie cups are we talking about? I could probably come up with an idea or two.......but wouldn't want to suggest something that would make it cost prohibitive (buying for 10 is a lot less than buying for 50....):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabks0412 Posted July 29, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted July 29, 2016 There is probably about 12-15 total not counting myself and my husband of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabby50 Posted July 29, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Foam ear plugs - we use them everywhere - even when the music is too loud. You can still hear it, but at a level that's comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPYRCRUISER Posted July 29, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) We are doing a family cruise in February. I have started a similar idea for Christmas presents. so far I have lanyards, luggage tag holders, magnetic door sign and Carnival gift cards. I like some other suggestions and may add more to my goodie bag Edited July 29, 2016 by LPYRCRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy for 35 Christmas stockings for my husbands side of the family. I run out of ideas every year and could use the help. Then I think he would be obligated to send us on a cruise for all our hard work! :D To the OP, try to find some Avon books. They always have some clearance items for 1 or 2 dollars.

I find myself lingering over the travel size section of various stores and roaming all through the dollar store getting ideas (like Viv0828 said) all the time. Stocking-stuffing is the best part of Christmas shopping for me.:p:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
