What was in your bathroom baskets?

For those of you that did little baskets of toiletries for your reception, what did you put in them?   I'm thinking:

Aspirin
Lotion
Mouthwash
Floss
Wet wipes (not sure if needed?)
Mints
Body splash (women)
Fem products (women)

What else is good to include?  Appreicate any info on what you used in yours!  :)

    At other weddings I've been to I've seen hairspray, bobby pins, Tide Stain pen, and mini-sewing kit, also band-aids for blisters

    def hairspray & shout wipes
    antacid
    immodium

    I've also seen mini saline bottles for people with contacts. Def. the shout wipes or mini spray, hair spray, Tums/Rolaids, mints or gum, bandaids and safety pins. I feel like I have even seen extra pairs of pantyhose but I wouldn't go that far!

    Spray deodorant, clear nail polish (for snags in panty hose), hand sanitizer....plus what the PP said.  I used this list to help stock mine: http://www.weddingbycolor.com/marta12/milestones/6949

    At the last wedding we were at, they had a very comprehensive basket but a lot of the items were hug and it grossed me out a little.

    I think nice little mini mouthwashes that you can throw away, ditto to the poster who mentioned individual flossers!

    Target and Walmart have great mini toiletries etc. I think there is also a website that specialises in mini products but I can't find it on google.

    Everything that is listed above plus maybe those blister band-aids and blotting papers - more hygenic than a powder compact

    And maybe air freshner? Neosporin? The bathroom will look like a CVS store!!

    We also made sure mini waters were available for people to use in the bathroom. There is not much sense in handing people meds and then expecting them to cup their hands in the sink for water or run back to their table to get a drink to take asprin with.

    Another thing I have noticed in the bathroom at other weddings that I thought was helpful was the business cards of a few taxis in the area. If you are not offering guest shuttles, this is a really helpful way to give guests easy access to alternatives to driving if they have had too much to drink. It may look a little odd, so you can just ask your DOC or venue coordinator to put them out closer to the end of the evening.
