    I've seen water and a variety of snack foods in the one or two bags we've received.  That might be a good starter for you.  They had also included a list of local restaurants, attractions, etc. that guest might like and the directions to there from the hotel.

    I think they got all that information from the chamber of commerce.

    I put the following things in my out of town guest bags: 
    Water
    Better Made Potato Chips
    Vernors
    Some Candy from Morley
    Advil
    Cookies
    A newsletter about stuff going on that weekend
    A crossword puzzle

    Hope that helps!

    My friend got married last Nov. and did these bags.  She put a bottle of water, bottle of gatorade, a few bags of snack size chips, a couple candy bars, some mints, and a couple granola bars if I remember correctly.  I know she said she got everything from Sam's Club and it ended up being around $5 per bag.  I like the local restaurant ideas..but where our hotel will be located you can clearly see restaurants all over the place.

    Out of town bags: I had no theme, just a wide variety.
    2 Water
    2 Fresh fruit- we bought it the day before
    2 Bags of chips
    1 Pretzels
    2 Fruit Snacks
    2 Candy Bars
    2 Mints
    2 Granola Bars
    1 Itinerary and thank you note.
    Everyone raved about them.

    For the bathroom baskets. I googled it and just packed it as full as I could with everything I found.

    Our out of town bags just had two bottles of water, two individual packs of Advil and a variety of snacks that were on sale at Target - potato chips, sun chips, granola bars, Hershey kisses, mini Snickers bars and a few other goodies and a note from us thanking them for coming and suggesting a couple of restaurants and a few things to do.

    Our bathroom baskets included hairspray, a comb, static guard, body spray, aerosol deodorant, gum, breath mints, and those individual tooth brush things, a lint roller, safety pins, and tums.  The women also got a nail file, clear nail polish, hair ties, bobby pins. I think there were a few other things - I'll add them on if I remember.
