My OOT Bags~ the big hits and the things that weren't used

This is great information! Thank you. I have a question...how did you gals get these items to the destination? Did you ship them or pack them with you? did you have to pay a customs fees? Thank you!

I just received the same hibiscus bags from oriental trading company. They do have 2 of each color. Pretty thin, but nice for the price. same material as the reusable cloth grocery bags. I like the idea of having a variety for my guests as well.
They also appear to be similar quality to the solid totes on the Paper Mart site ( well by the look of the pic on the website , haven't actually seen them in person).
FYI those interested in the solid bags, I was just in Garden Ridge the other day and they have several of the tote bags in solid colors for $1.00 each.

I just skimmed through this and there are some awesome ideas!! thanks everyone!

This may seem silly but what does OOT stand for? ha ha

I am just starting to think about the contents of my OOT bags and this has been a huge help in getting started.

OOT stands for Out of Town

I just want to second the thanks! This thread has been super helpful. Please keep the reports of what OOT items worked and what didn't coming ladies...

This thread is awesome! Thanks for all the tips!

Thank you for all the tips - I think to save money and space we're going to do the travel mugs, welcome letter, and hopefully one more item that everyone can use. The suggestions were so great though - thanks to everyone who has already done this - makes it so much easier for the rest of us!

Great ideas here! Has anyone done t-shirts? What are the thoughts on this one? I really like the mug idea from Dollar Tree.
