Christmas Cruise

[SunLover99]

I am looking for some Christmas gift ideas that are easy to pack! We are cruising for Christmas and I have my father, DH, DD24, DS21 and DS12 to think of. It would be nice for them to open SOMETHING on Christmas day. I have told them all that this cruise is my gift as I am paying for air and cruise for them all! I am thinking gift cards this year! Any other ideas?

How about a frame that you can put a Family Photo in...? You could have the ship's photographer take a nice one?

 

What a generous gift... lucky family!

As TheKuhnFamily has mentioned, you've already been very generous, However.....

 

If you have a gift in mind that's too bulky to pack - and not appropriate on a cruise anyway - why not take a picture of it, or print out details about it from the internet? Fold the paper into a small jewellery sized box, and wrap/pack it.

 

My family's "stocking gifts" are brought by Santa Claus, have low monetary value, and tend towards food items. I can imagine unwrapping a whole bunch of these items on a cruise ship....photo of a box of chocolate covered cherries, "back on land, because you don't need extra sweets on a cruise". Photo of a round of brie cheese, "back on land, because you don't need extra fat on a cruise". Marshmallow Santas, "back on land...." etc. etc.....
