Is anyone making bathroom baskets? What are you putting in them?

We are getting married in October! (Six months from today!) and I went to Target last night to look at things to make a basket with for the bathrooms. I haven't actually seen this in person, but the idea of a little basket in the bathroom with some emergency items seems really nice. Plus it lets our guests know that we really care about them and want them to be as comfortable as possible. 
 So I bought some things at Target last night, but I didn't want to over do it. I was going to do a basket for the men's and the women's bathrooms. 
Here's what I bought.
 Trial size deodorants
 Shout stain removing wipes
 bandaids and guaze
mini lint rollers
mini packs of kleenex

Heres what else I thought of getting. Please let me know if I should skip of any thing.
 Dental Floss
Painkillers like Advil or Tylenol
Tums
Baby Powder and Baby wipes ( I feel like moms should have these with them if they have babies with them, but you never know.)
Tampons and Pads
lotion
Icy Hot Patches
Visine or contact solution
Q-tips
comb or brush
chapstick
Sewing kit
nail file
maybe a spar pair of pantyhose?

What would you add or subract for this list? What would you hope to see in a basket in the bathroom? The ladies bathroom will obviously be getting more stuff than the mens. Thanks for your help!

    That's some good ideas.  I think anything you put in their baskets they will appreciate.  We are only have a few people fly in from out of town and they are either staying with us or with FIs family so we aren't doing baskets.  If you have a couple staying together, World Market has cute minature champagne bottles I think that would be cute to get.  I think you can skip the Q-tips most places provide those.  Tampons and pads I might skip too just because I know for me I like a certain brand and I would rather run to a store and get me some then have a brand I didn't like.  Love chapstick idea cause here in NM since it's so dry that's a must.

    You for sure are going above and beyond!

    The baskets are a good idea. Since my guests will be sharing a bathroom at the reception with everyone else at the casino and hotel ground floor, I'm not doing baskets for the bathrooms.

    The babywipes are good in case someone spills something and needs to clean up. I'd also stick a Tide-to-go pen in the baskets for small stains. I wouldn't stick a spare pair of hose because people are different sizes, but a bottle of clear nailpolish would be useful for stopping pantyhose runs.

    This is a cute idea!!  I would definitely add kleenex.  Also a spray bottle so guests can take care of fly-away hair.
