Bathroom Baskets

I have to supply my florist with all the toiletries for the bathroom baskets. Do you I use regular size or travel size? Which looks better?

Re: Bathroom Baskets

I think it depends on which toiletries. I think for hand lotions, you could get a few travel size ones. However, if you're putting hairspray or something in there, I'd say go with the regular size.

Re: Bathroom Baskets

I'm making my own basket. I'm using regular size hand/body lotion, hand sanitizer soap, hair gel, hair spray...Small size fragrance spray, another small fragrance lotion, mini hand gel sanitizer, small box of tampons and pads, pantiliners. Travel size mouthwash. I'm using q-tips from home and wrapping a bundle of them in my ribbon. Small package of hair ties. I would do a mix of both.

Can you post the list you have while you're at it?

I suppose I could get started on my bathroom baskets since I've got about 2 months to go...

be aware of how big your baskets are going to be. mine were pretty small (from IKEA!) so I used travel size mostly. plus it was cheaper!

also a tip--fill the bottoms with newspaper and line with tissue paper to rise the bottom this way everyone can see all the products

and after the wedding I saved my receipt and went back to Target and returned everything that wasnt used! ha! got back $25!

Thanks for the suggestions -- your baskets look great!
