Our family will be cruising over Christmas and New Year's. Our only gifts (other than the cruise and the $$$ we'll spend on excursions) will be our Christmas stockings which we'll hang in our cabin. Looking for ideas for stocking stuffers that will be easy to pack. DD is easy. DH is the one I'm having trouble with. . . .
Ideas? |

My boyfriend and I just do stocking stuffers every year because we normally leave for a cruise a few days into the New Year, so the cruise is usually our gift to each other. In years past I've gotten...
Crossword Puzzle books or similar books for the airplane Travel size toiletries (in a quart size bag of course) Ginger pills for sea sickness Candy/Snacks for the airplane or layovers Other games to play on the ship (Our personal favorite is Skipbo) A good beach read Subscription to favorite magazine with a copy for the trip. DS/PSP games. Gift cards for tanning or pedicures Sunblock

I am just off 2 separate Celebrity cruises. Both had Xmas ornaments showing respective ships logo for $1.49 each. Going to make a magnet of mine.

I'm glad I just happened on this thread tonight. DD and her BF are going on their first cruise next month. I didn't know what to get him, but I think I'll make a bag of all the little things I pack (he's anal like I am): post-its for notes w pen (they're going on Carnival, but I'm sure I have an RCI or Princess pen around), highlighter, permanent marker.... I know there are other things; anything else I can add?
Thanks!

He did just buy himself new luggage; I'll definitely get him some new luggage tags. Or I could give him the free ones we received from Walt Disney Travel... Nah, I'm not that cold-hearted!!

For younger cruisers (or young at heart) you can pick up those glow in the dark bracelets/necklaces at Dollar Tree. The kids love to wear them at night and at the teen club. Be sure to give them a few so they can have one for each night.
