Hey everyone, long time no hear! Lol! I found facebook.
Anyway, I am having a few girlfriends stay at our villa for a week and I want to do a little something for each of them. Any idea's? So far all I have is a cute little palm tree soap for each.

Decks of cards with drink recipes? You can draw a card each day for you new drink of the day.

Mini bottles of Cruzan?

VI screensaver?

Coconut shell candle?

Love the koozie idea as well as the coconut candle. Was thinking about doing the mini bottles of rum also, not to mention that i'll already have a big bottle of Cruzan Rum for the arrival.
Keep the idea's coming! (tu)
PS- where would I get them personalized?

You can get them personalized at that store in Coral Bay across from Skinny Legs -USVI Outlet though they have another name. Below Windspree office.

I was also thinking foot thongs or toe rings. You might be able to buy a dozen sarongs from one of the wholesalers for cheap.

Some ideas I used for gift bags I put together a few years ago for a girls trip included bright colored flip-flops; disposable underwater cameras; bright-colored plastic stemware for each; beach-themed note cards; beach-themed Christmas ornament; and some bright-colored inexpensive shawls for cold restaurants.

I sometimes use sarongs as shawls with a hair claw clip to hold it on. A store across from Havensight has some nice, heavy sarongs that work well. I got one in zebra print to go with a black dress. Maybe I should post a pic.

I am in Rise on Main St and they're having a clearance on trinkets from Down Island Traders. Flip flop memo pads w/ pencil -$3. Sun and sandal ornament $3. Soap bar and salt $5. Votive holders $2. All very cute! A few other items.

Thanks ms411! I went and got the ornaments, note pads, and shot glasses! I loved the soaps too, but have fancy flip flop and palm tree soaps that I use for my guests at the villa. They came from Dolphin Dreams in Red Hook and are made here.
Thanks everyone for the tips, I am so excited! 🙂
