OOT bag info

[monicabrandon2008]

I am done with my OOT bags. I actually gave them out to everyone last weekend. I wanted them to have them before we left so it would get them excited and also so I wouldn't have to lug them down to Mexico with me!

 

Here are some pics and where I got my stuff.

 

Oh and sorry the pics are so bad, I'm using my camera phone because my digital is broken.

 

 

The bags are from Promotional tote bags custom sizes and styles from cheap totes $1 a bag

 

Avon after sun care I purchased on eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices from this seller eBay Store - The Avon Booth: Video's VHS and DVD, Gifts for Him, Men's Fashion Accessories I believe I spent $20 for 10

 

I got these margarita and pina colada body butters from my local Dollar Tree.

 

I made these brochures filled with info. with Morgan's help and ordered them from www.vistaprint.com for about $7 for 50 I believe

 

I made these cups. Bought the cups at Target in the clearance section 4 for $1.50. Bought the paint pen and rub on decals from Hobby Lobby- supplies cost $10.

 

Bought these at Target in the $1 section.

 

Bought the first aid kits from the Dollar Tree for a $1. Bought the Advil from Office Max in bulk $17 for 50 and the shout wipes in the travel section at Walmart $1.

 

I bought the luggage tags at Walmart. They were 2 for $3 I believe.

 

I got the travel size ziploc bags from Walmart in the travel section. There was a box of them for $1. They meet airport security guidelines. I got the spf chapstick from Dollar Tree for $1. I got the germ x from Walmart in the travel section for $.50. and gum

We just bought these bags at Walmart for 5/each. We may do an iron on transfer, but it's something I have to look into as these are meshy bags.

oookay, I just read through all 15 pages of this thread. What great information! I have made a list of the great ideas. SOOO exciting! (now, if only my wedding would hurry up and happen!) Thanks for posting all of your ideas!

monica! i lovetheOOt bags, i must say i might have to snatch some of those ideas especially the cups. i love the dollar tree!

i have actually seenthe 1st one in person at walmart in bellingham wa and they are great! we are going to buy them at the end of the season hopefully on sale since our wedding isnt till nextyear, i think the 1st one is better also because ithas a drink holder and could potentially seat 2 i thik they were 8.99 at walmart, it might be cheaper to buy them there instead of paying for S&H too online

After going to wallmart last night and buying the above bags, we started to worry that our "fillers" would look really pathetic in a bag that size. So we went to the dollar tree to see what we could find for fillers. We found tons of filler, but we also found bags!

 

So I'm returning the Walmart bags, and using the dollar tree bags, and now I can spend more filling the bags.

 

Here's what I bought at the Dollar Tree:

 

The bag - $1

 

footballs - $1

 

Mini bottle of generic tums - $1

 

Mini Tylenol - $1

 

After sun lotion - $1

 

 

I also have these:

Candels $1 from Michaels

 

Hand make soaps - Peir 1 98 cents each

 

 

I am also going to add SPF chapstick, a cup like the following only with our wedding logo - this cup is from the bar we met at, they have hyper color cups so we want to copy them and go with hypercolor cups with our logo

 

 

And then some snacks and a Puerto Vallarta post card, and that should be it!

 

I'm so happy you all told us about the Dollar Tree. We hit the jackpot there last night. We got all that stuff for CHEAPER than the wallmart bags alone!

 

Here's what it looks like so far:

Those bags look great! You may already know this but if you are putting postcards in them you should order them through vistaprint, they always have free postcard offers if you sign up for e-mails through them and you can upload your own pic if you want to, a lot of time they will have uploading for half off.
