Oh, and keep it affordable!

Custome Koozies!

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?

I love etsy.com for all things crafty.
Here is a link for one,but do a search and you will find tons

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.

what a great idea,,where to find them??

A few ideas below. Beach bags with or without their initials. Glow necklaces/jewelry. Beach towels with custom embroidery/logo

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.

Wow, loving the idea's!

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! What area in Riises? I would love to ck that out!

In the back near the Swatch watches and their little Calypso Cafe.

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! 🙂

Great, Sherri! So glad you found some cute things. I know the soaps at Dolphin Dreams, and they are tropilicious! Your girlfriends are in for such a treat!
