OOT Baskets

I'm sure this has been posted a lot, but what are you putting in your out-of-town baskets? I wanted to do some local snacks, water, tissues, etc. What are you girls doing?

Snacks and water are great. I appreciate those as a guest. Tylenol is also a welcome addition for the next morning! I think a schedule for the weekend is nice, too.

Long Island wine (Pindar's Autumn Gold), 2 inexpensive wine glasses, a Long Island Travel Candle (Montauk Mist scent), Long Island Potato Chips and a cd 'For the Ride Home'. Also, I'm putting the invitation to the 'day after' breakfast and the schedule for the shuttles to the reception. I also want to put sample perfumes and travel toothpaste. Plus Advil, microwave popcorn, wedding coffee packets, tea and water with the wedding labels on them and Hershey kisses in our wedding colors.

Re: OOT Baskets

Does your hotel have rules against bringing in wine, so that guests would have to order from the hotel? That's the thing I'm worried about- we're staying at a small Inn that wants you to buy their wine while you're there, but I want to include it in my baskets.
