7 of our Favorite Fish Extender Gifts

On my last post I gave a brief explanation on fish extenders (FE). You now may be considering joining one of the fish extender groups on your Disney cruise vacation but you may not know what to give as a gift. There are so many options. It can be small, personal, purchased, or made. We have received versions of each. 7 of them stood out to us as some our favorites. 

  1. Christmas ornament

  2. Word art made into Mickey and Minnie

  3. Regional items like seafood seasoning out of Maryland or salt water taffy from the shore

  4. DIY personalized items like magnets

  5. Movie candy

  6. Disney socks

  7. Travel first aid kit

Here are some of the fish extender gifts mentioned: word art, magnets, and Mickey Mouse socks

All the gifts that we received over time were great. These 7 items stood out to us and some we still have and use today. They are all small for easy travel. When you are considering the gifts that you want to give, keep these tips in min

  • Make it small-not only for you to have space to take it but for the receiver to have space to bring it home. 

  • It does not have to be expensive. If your budget can make it happen feel free to go for it but remember it is the thought that counts.

  • It does not have to be Disney themed. Our first aid kit came in handy for an unexpected boo boo.

  • You do not have to DIY or be crafty. Let online shops like Etsy be your friend. 

  • Consider party supply stores or Amazon. If you want to buy bulk items and break them apart, look for party favor style gifts like those found at Oriental Trading.

I hope this gave you some inspiration and/or helped you to consider whether participating in a FE exchange is for you.
