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!

What's the 'time out NY' thing for the schedule?

this is such an old post - from 2004! Funny to see it resurface.

Here's what else I'm putting in my gift bags:
(and go to www.itsalldirect2u.com for GREAT prices!)
1. Apple Heads
2. Air heads, sour apple
3. Altoids, sour apple
4. Blow pops, sour apple
5. Nutri grain bars, apple cinnamon
6. Gummy Apple Rings
7. Apple Jacks cereal (individual cups)
8. Extra gum, sour apple
9. Mentos, Green apple
10. Big League Chew, apple (I love the baseball-style gum, reminds me of the teams here in NYC)

I not only did the whole New York theme, but I went with the 'apple' idea, and incorporated tons of snacks reflecting 'the big apple'. It's hard (and can get expensive) to do the 'I heart NY' stuff, so I bought a bunch of apple-like food items in addition to the other items (like a metro card, map, t-shirt, etc).

I love my idea! If I do say so myself....
