Default Do I have enough for the OOt gift bags?

Hi. I took some pics of the stuff for my OOT gift bags:









I have....
sunscreen
nail file kits
first aid
BBW lotion
BBW shower gel
BBW body spray
Aveeno lotion
foot cream
tissues
aspirin
flip fops
water bottles ( personalized, not pictured, gonna buy in Vegas)
lip sunscreen


Im trying to do this on a budget-so Im also enclosing a bunch of vegas brochures, the trolloey, the rail system, strip maps, shows, etc.

What else can I enclose? I wanna make the bags seem fuller.

Any other ideas? Ive looked thru everytone's ideas but I might still need more...I think??


Thanks!!

I think they look great!

You can always add something Vegas-y. Maybe a gambling for dummies book, a deck of cards, dice, etc.

I did ponytail holders and claw clips for the girls that were a big hit.

You could also do a travel candle for the hotel room.

wow, you have a lot of stuff in there already! if you want different ideas, how about snacks? we put in 2 bags of single serve chips, some chocolate (mini kit kats), and a few lollipops. my dad also baked biscotti, so each person got a box of 20 biscotti. we would have put in water if we weren't at an ai, but these foods were the types of things that you couldn't get if you just wanted something to snack on.
if there's way too much room in there, just stick some tissue paper in the bottom. i think you have plenty of goodies for your guests.

Those look great. I agree with the girls though if you aren't staying at an AI which I am assuming you aren't I would buy some little snacks and maybe a bottle or two of water.

I totally think you have enough stuff. :)

But if you are looking for more ... snacks are always a great addition, and depending on what you choose, can "take up" a lot of room.
