Need Ideas - New York Theme Gift Baskets

Ok, we are starting to plan what will go in our gift baskets/bags for our out of town guests (mostly from Michigan - FH's family) for their hotel rooms.

We are going with the theme of New York:

Here is what we have sofar:

CD - with several songs with NY or LI in them
2 apples
NY Deli Chips
5th Avenue Bar
Pindar Wine

Help - need more ideas!

Re: Need Ideas - New York Theme Gift Baskets

The Classic I (heart) NY T-Shirts - they are so cheap to buy in Times Square.

Mini Cheesecakes

NYTimes or New York Magazine (or Time Out NY - so they can find things to do in the city)

Little Bag of peanuts off the street

all of these are NYC based, I am assuming you ar having a LI wedding. Are they going to be venturing into the city?

Re: Need Ideas - New York Theme Gift Baskets

yes it is a long island wedding, but it is over thanksgiving weekend so people have extra time to get into the city.

those are all great ideas, keep 'em coming!

Re: Need Ideas - New York Theme Gift Baskets

Macy's in the city has a ton of the I Love NY candy bars that I put in my OOT bags.

They also have a bunch of NY themed candy with cabs and the statue of liberty...very cute stuff.

You can add LIRR Train schedules or a bottle of LI wine.
