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

philanab · March 14, 2013

Hello, I've been back for about a week from my destination wedding in Punta Cana, I thought I'd share what was used from my OOT bags (actually did OOT travel mugs instead). Our mugs were 22 oz from Discount mugs.com so they fit quite a bit inside.

Used:

the travel mug

SPF chap stick

gum (on the plane for taking off and landing)

Nutrigrain Bars (early flight, not everyone had time to grab breakfast)

Chocolate bars (all inclusive, all you can eat, but sometimes you just want some real chocolate)

pepto bismol chewable tabs

welcome pamphlet - mostly for common spanish phrases

Motrin

TUMs

Emergen-C powdered drink

Not used or not mentioned:

bandaids

propel powdered drink

sanitizing hand wipes

My advice...don't go overboard. Nobody wants to lug around a bunch of stuff on thier vacation.

I gave them out in advance to all those that werent travelling in our group; and gave the rest out to our guests the night before our departure. That way everyone can carry thier own on the plane, and make use of the stuff (snacks) during travel.

I'm not sure how much they weighed, but I'm sure it would have been a lot if we chose to ship them to our destination.

..and doubly excited about my OOT Bags that finally came in!!! I feel like it's Christmas every day getting delivery packages LOL ... Here are the OOT Bags I ordered for the single guys --the one with the palm tree and the ladies or couples is the Hibiscus flowers...The ones that are two tone with the black are for my Bridesmaids and Mom...I was really pleased with the quality ...the only problem is that with over 30 of them they are HEAVY!!! OMG, I have to weigh all themto see if I can cart them to Jamaica or if I am going to have to give them out beforehand....lol
