What were some of the sugestions of the type of gifts to bring?

Inde … you’re back! YAY!!!

Thanks, little doc! 

This is a fun thing to put together for all to enjoy.  We all chat here and then have a spot to meet up with each other the first day that we get there at the resort.   The lil' gifts that people bring unite everyone and create great conversations.

Looking forward to this event!! 

Soon we will be in warm weather having so much fun!!

Thanks from my support team!!!!  Really it is a fun event and I must say that on mylast trip, I had many a wonderful helpers to pull it off, for it was the biggest ever, over 400 people.  Thanks go out to Sleddog, Joan and Jeri  and many many more that helped out with name tags, table organization, raffle tickets, drinks, etc..   With all of YOU being there it does make it fun and helps break the ice. 

Looking forward to another wonderful Meet and Greet.

Goodmorning lady of OLIVIA ( INDE )       

    LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED.........

                      CHERYL & DAPHNE

                                                                           INDE’S “ MEET AND GREET”

Every trip, I enjoy organizing a meet and greet for all that are communicating on the chat board.  I pick a spot for us to meet so we can physical meet up and get to know each another.  If it is on a ship, it usually is on the LIDO deck.

 If it is at a resort, it is by the outside pool area that has a bar right next to it, and if lucky, a snack bar attached. 

It is always the 1st day of the trip!!!

This is NOT an Olivia event!!!

I ask that everyone bring at least 4 inexpensive items per person, more if you want, to put on the gift table(s).  When enough of us have showed up at the “M n G”, we go to the gift tables and pick an item that we want, it is FREE, no charge to pick a gift.  You do not have to bring any gifts to show up at the”M n G”. People that bring these lil gifts acts as a conversation starter and leaves lasting memories of ones trip.

 Every gift exchange, or if I do a raffle, is always FREE and this is NOT an Olivia event!  I never charge for my Meet N Greets.  It is all run off of the good will of the people attending. 

Ok, here are some gift ideas:

 playing cards, shot glasses, fancy pens, pencils with logos on them of say sports teams (esp. woman’s teams) or other sayings,  buttons with sayings on them, note pads, eye glass strings or crookies as some know them, bandanas, glow in the dark necklaces, blinking rings, key chains, ankle bracelets, mini travel games, scarves, slinky toys, rainbow necklaces, or anything rainbow related, book lights, mini flashlights, power strips, whistles, desk calendars, wall calendars, camera cards, etc., etc., etc.  The list can go on, use your imagination, be creative; you can also make items and bring for the gift table.   Some gals even brought some sexy stuff along, wowzers, think those gifts went fast, lol. 

Ok, hope these tips help in getting you ready for the trip of a lifetime!!

See you at the Meet N Greet!!
