It'd probably be easier if you said how much $ and how many you have to do. Also, you still have time to order online - that should be to your benefit here too.

You can buy gift bags from a dollar store….. I am putting the following into my OOT bags:

Bottled water
Advil (trial size)
Snacks – cookies, pre packaged cheese and crackers
Hershey’s kisses
Mini sewing kits
LIRR train schedules
NYC brochures (they usually have those in the hotel lobby)

Ikea has 10 bags for $1.49 and they look to be pretty I need to go look at them myself.

You can get a case of water on sale for about $5 for 12-24, packs of crackers or cookies prepackaged on sale, a bag of apples is inexpensive.
