Hello,

I'm sure there's been many posts on this before, but I cant' remember your ansswers!  What have you been putting in your welcome bags? And also, speaking of the "bags" what did you acutally use to put the items in (bag, basket, etc)?

THanks for any help!!!

    One of the other knotties was nice enough to give me her leftover hibiscus tote bags from Oriental Trading Company. We gave one bag out to each couple/family - and noticed that everyone was using them for their beach totes! So, I'm glad they were reusable.

    In them, I put:

    Assorted Kona brewing compnay beer (2 bottles per person)
    1 mug from Hilo Hatties per person
    Chocolate covered mac nuts
    Caramacs
    Kona coffee
    Maps
    Welcome Letter
    Travel sized sun screen
    Maui Onion Potato Chips (1 bag per person)

    Ooh! Good call Sandy - we did a cd as well.

    I'm following Alyson's lead and ordering the tote bags.  They actually sent me a 20% off coupon code in the mail the other day.  GT1030238 - that is the code to share with a friend too.  So far I've got:

    antibacterial santizer
    band aids
    tylenol packets
    beach towel
    travel sunscreen

    Shout Wipes

    FI is making a CD of Hawaiian Music

    Welcome Letter/Weeks events


    I'll pick up the Hawaii local things when I get there and not sure what they will be yet.
