Philly Memorabilia for OOT Guest Bags

I'm thinking I would like to get Liberty Bell magnets to put in out of town guest bags, but without spending too much.  Any ideas where to look?  If not this, any other good souvenirs? 

Also I was thinking of including TastyKakes, Hershey's chocolates (as items from Philly/PA), and water, granola, directions to wedding, list of local attractions...Does anyone have other suggestions?

TIA

    All my OOT guests will be from Boston, so I am doing something similar.

    You have a great start. Also, Utz potato chips or Herrs are both local and its nice to have something salty to go with the chocolate. Also, Peanut Chews are local.

    If you don't see any place to buy the magnets with a google search head down to Old City. There are tons of little shops that sell that stuff. If you find the magnets to be too expensive post cards are a great alternative.

    Also, if you call the visitor center they will give you free visitors brochures.

    Hope that helps!

    Soft pretzels would be a good idea too.

    How many are you going to make? How much would you want to spend per guest bag?

    I found wooden baskets at the dollar store - I spray painted them a shimmery pewter color to go with our theme. I got some pamphlets with touristy stuff/maps from the visitor center (free). I'm also going ot fill with snacks. Still checking on prices but some ideas are soft pretzel, bag of Herr's chips, peanut chews, tastykakes, chocolate (in the shape of philly stuff - ie: liberty bell, love park sign, etc), society hill nuts (so good, but i think $$). I saw Phillies cookies at 5 below last year for a dollar - maybe check there? A good idea is to go to the souvenier shops in society hill area - maybe also to reading terminal market to look up some local ideas. Then you can narrow it down from there.

    You could also include the wedding itinerary - a thank you note on a Philadelphia postcard...etc.
