Out of town bags for Hotels

I know people normally put snacks and advil and water in the bags, I am looking for other ideas. Any suggestions for someting different in them?

Re: Out of town bags for Hotels

I'm putting my favorite Long Island wine (Pindar Autumn Gold) and maybe candy apples for the fall theme... and maybe a cd of our favorite songs 'for the ride home' since we probably won't end of picking that as our official wedding favor...

Depending on where your guests are staying, you could either give them info on attractions or some kind of coupons for free food/beverages. MY sister put a voucher in each of her OOT bags for free coffee and a pastry at this bakery that was right near the hotel. Everyone loved it since they got a nice fresh bagel instead of a candy bar for breakfast!

in addition to what you mentioned, I also put granola bars, cookies, pretzels, Hershey kisses, cheese & crackers and Halloween candy (I got married a week after Halloween)

I'm trying to figure this out too. But since we have 150 OOT guests, I'm trying to go cheap and thoughtful. Bring on the ideas!!!

i am going to add in some Pop Tarts so they will have something to eat in the morning....

ALL of my guests are from out of town so I am putting the favors (golf balls & tees and playing cards) in the bags as well.

Are there any NY/LI specific things that you've put in- I know B/W cookies but I was wondering if anyone has seen/done anything else specific to LI.

They'll be in the city so I'm including subway maps and tourist brochures. In addition to water and some snacks - courtesy of costco and the 99c store.

Re: Out of town bags for Hotels

there are chips that are LI made- cant remember the name

wines from out east

the Long Island travel guide

how about the small perfume samples? or lotions?

no matter how nice the hotel, I always hate the smell... I dont know what it is...So I like to bring air freshners of some sort... small ones, spray ones... something

Playing cards or travel games if there are children

The chips are North Fork potato chips (I think), and there are also Tate's cookies which are made on LI too.

Granola bars were a nice add for a bag I recently received. We didn't feel like sticking around for breakfast and it was a good snack to munch on in the morning.

Yep, the chips are called North Fork potato chips and you can order them online. I thought it was a fun LI thing to include.

I also included chocolate covered biscotti that I found at Sam's Club and a small bag of ocean-scented potpourri since our wedding was on the water.

Re: Out of town bags for Hotels

Okay... apparently I don't know how to insert a link, but I thought this was a cute idea:

I've bought these candles before at the Oyster Festival... they're the Long Island Candle Factory, and a lot of their scents are named after places on Long Island, like Montauk Mist. It would be nice to put a candle in the bag/basket. And they make travel candles, too... I know whenever I go to a hotel, I love having candles in travel tins to bring with me. And, if you're having matchbooks made, throw one in with it. (if not, see if your hotel or reception hall has matchbooks to put in).

Re: Out of town bags for Hotels

My mom put small bottles of champagne in them, then went to price-club and got all different kinds of snacks, gum, candy. But my sister (the bride) made up cute crossword puzzles and word searches for the guests as well.
