Cruise Gift Store - great cruise gift site

[Brushtail]

I saw this on the P&O UK section of CC. It looks to be a heap of fun.

I wish I had seen it earlier, I'd like a Santa hat with 'I'd rather be on a cruise' printed on it. :D

A couple of those would have been a good idea for our secret santa pressies last week:D

I love the notepads!!:D I'd have one of of How to Poison your fellow passengers with coktails and one of the Unusual Sex places on a ship.
I'd leave them on the desk of the cabin for the cabin steward to see...well maybe not the Poison one!!:p
There are some very good products on there...too many to choose from.;)

[MsMinx]

Oooh I want the inflatable can holder and the cruise ship cookie cutter :D:D

[AuzzieCruiser]

Hmmmm...I wonder how much postage is?? We can't order online. We have to send an email, and they'll get back with an estimate of costs including postage.
Some nifty things on there. Does anyone know the rough conversion rate at the moment?:confused:

[kaseyoz]

if we had have found this site earlier we could have made a purchase and my brother could have bought it out for us, but he leaves the Uk on wednesday.

maybe we could do a big shop together to save postage.
there certainly are a few things i would like to get

Hi Everyone,

Forgive me for butting in here... but I can probably help! ;) Where is your brother staying Kaseyoz? Perhaps I could get Cruise Gift Store to get something to him with a next day delivery (for Tuesday)?

Email: Laura (ourLOL@aol.com)

[kaseyoz]

he lives in nottingham and leaves from birmingham airport on wednesday

[aussiedisneyfan]

Ahh so much to chose from. I really like the santa hat.

[ourlol]

Karon,

My suggestion would be to send an email to Cruise Gift Store (see the "Contact Us" page on the website) detailing the gifts you are interested in.

Depending on the weight, for an additional £5-7 (approx 14AUD) an order could be delivered to your brother's home on Tuesday. This would be a guaranteed delivery through Royal Mail.

Hope that helps a little.

Laura

[kaseyoz]

is anyone interested enough to put in an order to be delivered this way.
It may not be much cheaper for some as i would still need to post it on to you

[karmac]

I'dlove the santa hat & the inflatable can holder:)

I think there have been plenty of discussions here on these boards on the various effects (and side-effects) of cruising cocktails - they always seem to have extra strength when sipped at sea.

Also, save yourself the money and skip buying the "Unusal Sex Places On A Ship" - I'm sure there are plenty of CC'ers around here who could produce their own list and tips on how not to get caught!! LOL!

[kaseyoz]

I have put my order in, if anyone wants anything to be in with my order they need the order in pretty fast so they can over night delivery it. they are also going to give me a price just to send it direct to me here.
the life jacket coolers are so much fun.

I'm keen :D Can I email you an order? I can send the money via direct deposit to your bank account if you like?? Thanks for the offer!

[aussiedisneyfan]

Count me in if it isn't too late. I would like a santa hat. Have sent you a text to say that too.

[kaseyoz]

jane and karen. sorry just recieved your sms and thought i would reply here as it might be easier for me.
I have sent my order and paid for it by paypal.
As my brother would be at work and not able to sign for the parcel i decided just to get it mailed to here. There is no guarantee it will arive for xmas but should be here for my cruise.

if any one wants to order something especially the hats laura could probably put it with my order. There would still be postage from sydney to your place though. It may make it not very cost effective.

laura is very keen to assist and with the time difference you may still get your order in. she said she would post it first thing monday morning.

anyway let me know what you end up doing.

[aussiedisneyfan]

Only just been able to get back to the boards and read this, so I will give it a miss. Some people seem to think I should be working and not reading the boards. Priorities!

Some people just have no idea do they Jane?:p
I'll give it a miss too now. Thanks anyway Karon.

Karen

[kaseyoz]

ok no problems. I will let you know when my parcel arrives what they are like.

get back to work now

[kazzacruise]

Hi Everyone.
Have you thought about being creative and making something similar to the santa hat yourself ie permanent markers or embroidery.
Kerrie

[kaseyoz]

I forgot to mention that my parcel did arrive safely.
The service was top notch, she even got up early to send my package off quickly.
I got the apron(not that i wear them) I also bough the wine bottle cooler vest. They are so cute. I bought one extra for my friend who is travelling with us, plus a couple of other things.

they also have a new countdown clock that attaches to your keys if any one is interested>
I did ask about buying in bulk and if we get 10 she will give us 10% off, but with airmail it makes them about $18. If we ordered now , they may be here by the time of the two queens cruise.
Let me know as i think they may be a bit too dear although they do look cute

[Star-Man]

Did anyone notice that the top countdown clock key ring on this page...

http://www.cruisegiftstore.com/cruise_countdown_keyring.htm

is from the observation deck above the bridge on the Star? :D

Edit: just thought id post the picture here too...

[MsMinx]

That does look like the Star doesn't it??

I love that site :D SO many things I want :D:D

Would have to be ... here's my photo ...

[MsMinx]

It's GOT to be the Star :D Nice pic Linda. You should chase them for royalties ;) LOL!

[Teegiee]

What a great site. That is totally the Pacific Star, i have like 3000 pictures like it. have got a question though- how do you pay, do you need a credit card? or pay pal thing? Really REALLY really want the Santa hats for the christmas cruise this year.:) :)

[MsMinx]

I think they take paypal or credit card Teegiee.

I've emailed them for a postage quote :D

Why not send off an email and ask how you can pay? The santa hats are reduced to 1.50:D (about $3 give or take a few cents) :D

[Teegiee]

thanks,

just emailed them to ask. the hats are so cool and different. Also love the 'ship happens' desk sign.

[karmac]

I luuuuuuv that keyring.

Karen

[AuzzieCruiser]

God, I'd get ribbed forever if I got the keyring.:rolleyes: :p

[Brushtail]

The blow-up pirate looks good. He is 6 foot tall. He would look nice tied to the balcony. :eek:

I'm in for the key ring, Karon, if anyone else wants to place an order..........
You can never have too many countdowns. :p Phil has just bought a new iPod Touch. He says that he who dies with the most toys wins.

But would you and phil fit as well:) ?. Or would you have to throw Phil overboard:p ;) . (Don't tell him I said that)

Karen

[Brushtail]

I just noticed that my last post about the pirate was my 1,000th post. Very suitable considering the pirate gear that was worn on the Dawn. :)

If Phil went overboard, common decency would mean I would have to untie the pirate and throw it in as a floatation device. :D

How about it, Karen, going to buy a key ring countdown? So far we have:

Brushtail x 1
Icemaiden x 1

Congrats on your 1000th post Jen, a big milestone:D .

BTW we're off up to Wollombi on Saturday.......a taste of Dr Jurds:eek:

if you dont mind me asking Linda, where on the Star did you do that photo? :confused:

Thanks :)

[LouLou28]

Thanks :)

Kiwi_Cruiser ... I think it was off the side of the observation deck (which is at the front of the ship - through the door that you enter by going up the passage between the suites). Instead of facing to the front, you turn around on the side and look back.

Hi Karon
Did you get my E.mail for my order? Our E,mail was mucking up:eek: .
I hope you did because I might be to late now if not I'd like a keyring
countdown clock with the wake.
Thanks Gail

[kaseyoz]

yes got your email ok.
anyone else?

[aussiedisneyfan]

How long do I have, I have only just read this.

[aussiedisneyfan]

Add me to the list for the keyring too. The ships wake one. If too late never mind, teach me for ignoring the boreds.

[kaseyoz]

i did add an extra one to the list but as it is only 5am there at the moment i dont think she will have opened the email yet.
anyone else just checked in?
I will let you know when the order is closed ie when she contacts me for payment

[karmac]

I was away all weekend and just read this. I know I did say earlier but haven't been able to confirm over the weekend. If not too late, a countdown keyring, may as well go with the rest of ships wake. If it's too late, never mind.

Karen

[kaseyoz]

parcel is on the way.

[Brushtail]

Yayyy!!!!! :D


,,,

[Charlie Girl]

parcel is on the way.

Thanks Karon.:D :) :D

[MsMinx]

Laura is fantastic!!

I placed my order on 24 Jan and it arrived on 1 Feb from the UK! :D

All the things I ordered are excellent quality and SO cute!! :D:D

She even threw in the cruise pen as a freebie! :D

Hopefully everyone who ordered some goodies are as happy with them as I am with mine :D

[kaseyoz]

ohh what did you get.
i bought the bottle coolers shaped like a life vest, apron, hat and cookie mould.
awaiting delivery of countdown clocks

[MsMinx]

I got the countdown clock - the lifeboats one. (Even DH agrees that it's definatley the Pacific Star ;)) I also got the "I'd rather be on a cruise" santa hat, the cruise shopping note pad and the inflatable coaster. That coaster is SOOOO cute!! :D:D I thought about getting the life jacket wine cooler but it started to get a little expensive with the currency conversion ;)

It was very well packaged and presented, all wrapped up in tissue paper with a cute ribbon around it all :D

[kaseyoz]

Ok folks, santa has arrived. well the countdown clocks anyway.
She posted them last wednesday and i got them yesterday.

Thanks so much Karon. I can't wait to see it. Do you want me to put money on your credit card or pay in cash when I see you?

Karen

[Brushtail]

Yay, Santa is early......or late. Or wait, is it the Easter Bunny? :p

Can't wait to pay for and activate mine.

Thanks, Karon (kiss, kiss, kiss) :)
