Good gift idea please

[siestakeys04]

My brothers girlfriend is going on her first cruise with us. I want to stay away from food because she has allergies. So any suggestions that would make her cruise special?

Maybe some photo gift cards from the gift site on Carnival.

A bottle of bubbly?

Consider this... a hanging shoeholder. She might think it is a weird gift until you show you how it is used on board ship and you tell her how popular these things are among experienced Cruisecritic cruisers. It is a great device, especially for women, to store a lot of items to keep from cluttering up the bathroom or vanity while on board the ship. You can pick one up cheap at a Walmart.

 

Also consider a luggage scale -- they are cheap, too -- or an inflatable shoulder pillow if she is flying to her departure port.

 

Or, perhaps the cruiseline has a way for you to buy them a gift card for a special dinner while cruising. Most of the mainline cruise lines offer for-a-fee dinners. That would probably be appreciated more than a hanging shoe holder. LOL

Which cruise line? I know with carnival you can shop online and have stuff waiting in thier room. You can order a basket of something, logo something, or photo, drink package.

 

Disney and Carnival have gift cards.

 

I'd do a fun bag filled with fun stuff: beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a laylard (sp), book/magnaize, flip flops, hat, disposal water camera. Swimsuit/cover up. Typical stuff you'd use/enjoy/need.

 

A frame or photo album for pictures of her trip. If she's crafty cruise related scrapbooking kit (if she scrapbooks, then just related items).

 

I've never used or thought, hey I need the over the door hanger. Shelve space in the bathroom is plently.

Best cruise gift I have ever received was a $200 Carnival Gift Card (you can get them at Lowe's for any amount $25 - $500). I shopped, got a massage and and played in the Casino - it was so much fun!!!

How about a manicure or massage or other spa service?

We all are going on the conquest for Thanksgiving. Thanks for some of the great ideas. I will look into them:)

Boca clips! Keeps your towel on the chair by the pool in the wind. Cute shapes. Can get them at Target & Kohls.

I ordered myself one of these from Home Depot. None in stock but ordered online with no shipping fee to pick up at the store.....They come in different colors.......

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to cut and paste a picture of it!! It's a "beach vault" that locks onto your beach/pool chair or a small tree!! I love it. Big enough for phone, Kleenex, brush, sunblock tube etc. In case you were looking for something in the $20 range.

 

I'm not sure where you can buy them but I got one of those small waterproof canister like things to wear around your neck from RCCL on a previous cruise. Surfers use them. You can put some money, your S&S card etc in it. It's a nice gift that wouldn't cost much. Here's sort of the idea from an online search.

Hope one of these ideas helps!

You could go to Heald’s Facebook page and get free strawberries, ship on a stick and champagne delivered at no charge. That’s his job to do.

Also you could include some small items too. LIke a refrigerator magnet of the ship. Or other things like that from the on board gift shop with the ship or Carnival logo. Even a post card or 2 of the ship that she could frame when she gets back home. Happy sailing to all of you. Should be fun showing her around on her 1st cruise. Great stuff.

Upgrade the room if they are in an interior.
