Gift ideas for m-in-law prior to WDW trip

[paduncan]

My mother-in-law is going to WDW with us in Nov. Her birthday is coming up before that and I'd like to give her a small "get ready for Disney" gift. Any ideas? Went in local DS but mostly kids stuff and halloween suits.
Also, does anyone know of national department store/chains that usually have Disney stuff ? Or is it hit or miss? Thanks!!

Something she could use on the trip would be nice: a fanny pack with a disposable camera and film, money, travel toothbrush, comb...you get the idea...

Maybe a nice hat to wear in the parks...

good idea for fanny pack, anyone seen a "disney" one?

How about some Disney dollars too...you could put them inside the fanny pack.

I love the fanny pack , disney $ idea, I remember seeing them with Mickey on them (& pooh too I believe) at kmart. You could also go to the DS & buy an album dated 2202 for her to keep all of her memories in!

Album is another great idea. I bought her black fanny pack and ironed on red/white letters of her name (very Disney colors). Also included a box of Mcikey band-aids, Mickey fruit snacks and disposable camera. Also I found reasonable (cheap?) priced red visor and I neatly lettered in black " I love (just the ears!) across the visor. Thanks for everyone's ideas!

Sounds great she will LOVE it , your lucky to have a MIL to go to Disney with, Mine wouldn't leave her house to drive the 45 min to My HOUSE!

Well, since we are doing a family reunion on one day of our WDW vacation, I have already prepared a small goodie bag for my mother-out-law, nephew, niece, sister-out-law #1, her husband, and sister-out-law #2. We included a squeezy smiley faced stress ball for each adult, a big Mickey rainbow sucker for everyone, note pads, mickey pens, temporary tattoos for the kids, antenna toppers for the adults, a special disney #1 Mom snowglobe for the mother-out-law, and in special black bags with the warning do not open until dark.....glowstick jewelry. We plan on adding some gum and kleenex too. We also have arranged to carry a poncho for everyone. Mickey
