cruise4 Posted October 20, 2010 #26 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My husband got me a digital photo album and then taped the cruise info on the top of the box. He gift wrapped the box, and put it under the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffykids Posted October 20, 2010 #27 Share Posted October 20, 2010 We do the same thing often at Christmas for our boys. This year for Mexico I have ordered things from Ebay (Princess playing cards, luggage tags and slippers) and will also include things I have purchased in Mexico. I wrap them up and send them on a scavenger hunt! One year I had them finding clues attached to things they would put in a toiletry bag. You can also often find Christmas ornaments at local stores to include. This year I found a Chihuahua in a sombrero at Kohl's. Fun, fun! Have a great time, everyone can use a vacation instead of more stuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchrolls Posted October 21, 2010 #28 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Several Ideas ... what fun! Buy a chocolate cruise ship and wrap it with the information. OR buy a small toy ship OR Use a prescription bottle and create your own label which includes the name of the cruise. You can have great fun with this. Buy a small suitcase or duffel bag and put the information inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vowsatsea Posted October 21, 2010 Author #29 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I ordered some die cuts and some other scrapbooking stuff online. I got titles that said "Our Ship" and "Our Itinerary" this way I can find photos online and either make him a nice book, or send him on a scavenger hunt (those are always fun!). Of course this is all depending on the fact that I can keep this a secret until Christmas! I'm busting already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groliv Posted October 26, 2010 #30 Share Posted October 26, 2010 And NO, my boyfriend was not able to put the clues together and guess. He looked at me with a blank look on his face !! LOL:) But the picture of the cruisehip and notes about our itinerary was pretty clear !! This time, it's a Christmas present for my two kids (12 & 15). Hmmm, how will I "give" it to them ? I'm thinking pictures of the ship made into tree ornaments.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly50's Posted October 26, 2010 #31 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I surprised my DH on his birthday a few years ago with a cruise as his gift. I took the Frank Sinatra song "Come Fly with Me" and wrote some new lyrics which made it "Come Cruise with Me". No, I didn't sing it to him...I love him to much to subject him to my lousy voice, but he got a kick out of it. Now, whenever we hear that song we have always crank up the volume and sing our own little version of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
