I like the box idea! I may have to keep that in mind if our OOT bags don't fit in our suticases.

yay! i'm so glad y'all like them! i couldn't decide if they look like lunch boxes... ha. but they've won me over! i have to make about 10-12, which won't be too bad! (i'm putting one in each room + 2 water bottles)

i purchased the boxes and tissue at a store here in san antonio called "perfectly wrapped": Perfectly Wrapped - Boxes, bags, Giftwrap, Invitations
((you can also google search "gable boxes" and there are TONS of sites from which to order. i just chose to go see them in person...but trust me, they look good!))

the tissue packets are from "tuesday morning", and i found them near the cocktail napkins section. the packet of 6 was $3.99 (so .67 cents-ish a packet), but they were originally like $13!! yay for bargains.

the hand sanitizers are from bath & body works ($1 for 1 ounce) - they are tiny, but just enough for a few days.

i'm heading out to target and cvs today to try and round up more goodies! i'll post updates!

I like the box, very cool. I will have to check out bath and body now. Good idea!
