Bags for OOT Guests

kmac0527

Hi ladies!
I'm trying to come up with some creative ideas for my bags for my guests. My mom's side of the family will be coming in, not just from out of state, but out of the country (from Canada),and have never been here before. I'm looking for some neat Denver/Colorado ideas to include in my bags in addition to the normal map/touristy ideas.

Any thoughts are welcome!
Thank you so much!
Kelly

we did colorado themed OOT baskets for our guests.  I've got pictures in my planning bio under DIY (towards the bottom of the page).  Everything in our baskets was from CO (except the water which we picked b/c it has our last name on it!) LOL

water, sunscreen, chapstick

people from OOT will definately need it

you could fill it up with a nalgene bottle (but depending on how many guests you have that could be expensive), see's candies, ceslestial seasonsings tea, other things like that

in response to post above...I thought Sees candy was from California?  Is it from Colorado?

We're going to include Boulder chips and Izze soda, among other things.  Both are sold in bulk at Costco.

Advil/Tylenol and a comment about the altitude if they're not used to it.  There is a great post from February about it that I can't seem to make clicky tonight.  Search this board for CO facts and altitude sickness.  Sorry I can't get the link to work.

yea, I love see's candy & was seriously sad when I lived back east for a year & couldn't get it!  Its definitely a "western US" thing & I think guests would love to get Sees in a welcome basket!
