OOT Bags

I know I ask this all the time but what are you guys putting in your OOT bags? I'm not gonna lie, mine seem kinda lame. I want to put some really cool stuff in there so I figured I'd get some ideas from you guys. Thanks!

Re: OOT Bags

  • Our OOT bags includeWelcome letter/Photo Share Card/Big Day Timeline DR Tourism BookletSpanish Phrases for DummiesTylonel/Pepto Bismo/Aloe Vera/First Aid KitsSewing Kits/Shout Wipes/Toliet Seat Covers Playing Cards/Travel Games/Notepad and PenPowdered Gatorade (for hangovers)Candy and other snacks
  • I can't remember everything but I'll try: Super cute bag, Tylenol, Sunscreen, insulated water bottles with cute little cases, water guns, beach ball, pool float, flip flops, water proof carry case, photoshare cards, welcome letter, two Jamaica postcards (we'll get these in Jamaica), tooth paste, tissues, mini emory boards, travel size q-tip container, hand sanitizer, bubbles, lip balm, burned Bob Marley CD. My "honorary" BMs also get:  Bath and Body Works islandy smelly stuff, manicure kit, door hangers, and one Jamaica item (rum or coffee) depending on the girl.  I might add more if I have time.
  • Ideas in bio under OOT bags.  I like the idea of going local with at least a few things.  Also, orientaltrading.com has some cute stuff that we'll probably put in our bags as well.
  • I don't have any really good pics of the oot stuff separately - I've got a whole page in my bio tho... I am particularly excited about the laser engraved key chain bottle openers that I ordered: http://kellysplanningbio.shutterfly.com/ootbags/32Which is also a toss up with the beach safe containers we got from OTC. http://kellysplanningbio.shutterfly.com/ootbags/38

  • We are doing canvas bags that I stenciled with cute flowers in our wedding colors, a vera bradley cosmetic bag (b/c my family is obsessed with VB and I go to the outlet sale), aloe vera, hand sanitizer, photo share card, welcome letter, Caymans postcards, brochures, bottles of water, something Caymanian - i.e. a tortuga rum cake from the Caymans.  At my sister's (MOH) suggestion, we are bringing Ohio (home) to the Caymans as well - Cheryl's cookies (made in our hometown) and buckeye candies.
  • Advil hand sanitizers mini bottle of jamaican rum kleenex shout wipes insect repellant wipes jamaican rum cake-mini size jerk seasoning timeline welcome letter things to do list for Negril indian snacks and then i bought something unique for each person to put in their bag

  • http://lazerdesigns.com/They were the only site I could find that you could order less than 100 :)  I ordered 50 and they came out to $75 total with shipping.  It's the double wide bottle opener and they were really awesome to work with - and quick!

  • My bags are very small and I just put a ton of sample-size stuff. I put all the usual - tylenol, benadryl, first aid stuff, toothpaste, blistex, rolaids, pepto, tuissue packs, sweing kit, sunscreen, aloe, bug repellant, bug bite wipes, a Spanish Phrases book, a crossword book and a mini baby powder (the baby powder helps get sand that's dried to your toes so you don't have to use water again to rinse off again to put your shoes back on - try it, it works!)I have a question (which may sound stupid), but can you bring packaged food items into a different country??  I was thinking about putting the new Starbucks instant coffee pouches in the OOT bags, but I didn't  know if I could bring those into Mexico....
  • Oh I forgot to add the first aid kits and kleenex packs to my list :)
  • Yay! I just ordered my bottle openers. Thanks Kelly!!! Ali- where are you gettign your KW maps? Are you making/printing them yourself or buying them? That's a good idea to include that!

  • Janna, my plan was to stop at the tourism center when we get into KW and get a bunch of them to stick in the bags. I have found a couple maps online that would work if you wanted to print them out yourself though.
  • Oooh good idea on stopping in there. They gave me the run-around when I called and asked them to send me some.

  • I did the canvas bags from OTC filled with: Welcome letter/photoshare/timeline/Aruba recomendations First aid kit Sunscreen Tide packet Tylenol Bug spray wipes Lotion or hand sanitizer from bath & body Mints Crystal light packets I'm pretty sure that's everything. I also have everything listed in my bio!
