Bathroom baskets

twinkie757

What should I put in baskets in the bathrooms? I already have mouth wash, band aids, spray deodorant, & a tide stick. Is there anything else that you would appreciate being provided?

Disposable razors and maybe those small traveling toothbrushes that can be tossed out after a couple of uses. My friend had those in baskets and I was thankful cause I forgot both those items.
Hope this helps

You needed to shave at a wedding?

I think tissues, mints, advil, tampons, and a stain removal pen is adequate. No need to provide an entire drug store.

Definitely hair ties.

Hand lotion/cream

I think my baskets had everything the girls mentioned on here already (minus the razors - I think you meant hotel baskets). 

We also put some mini body splashes, tampons, panty liners, feminine wipes (middle of summer wedding-very sweaty and hot!), tums, wet ones wipes, and I think a few mini deoderants. 

We went to Wal-mart and went through their travel-size aisle.  We did 2 baskets, one for each bathroom, and were able to get everything super cheap.  We found almost everything we needed in that aisle.

I would add a small can of Static Guard to that too.

Oh, if you did mouthwash, did you remember disp. cups?

They are baskets for at the reception. Razors? Really? I think I'll pass...I don't want to answer anyone's questions at the reception about why that might be necessary. There are cups available. I checked out the travel asisle, but it was mostly shampoo at Target -couldn't belive it was a MUCH better deal to just get the full size item. Really, spend an extra 25 cents and get so much more, why not?

THis is a great thread. Thank you!

Now I'm all excited to go shopping.

I just skimmed.  Did anyone say hair spray!?  That's a good one to have.  And Tampons, but that was already mentioned.

twinkie757

Thanks for all of the help ladies! I can't believe I forgot simple things like hair spray and tampons when I went shopping the first time.

These would be the most helpful, period.

I would provide upgraded hand soap and matching lotion. Think Molton Brown or a similar high-end line.

I had never heard of bathroom baskets until this thread.  Is this just a basket that goes in the ladies' room for emergencies?  Is it really common?  Is there one in the men's room as well?  Would you include the same things (excluding tampons and the like, of course)?  Is this something you all expect at a wedding?
