   we didn't do welcome bags, but I did do personalized water bottles (labels bought at labelsbythesheet.com). They didn't fit perfectly on the cheapest water bottles at costco, but we didn't mind. My husband and I just bought a case of water and it took about 15 mins to take off the labels and put ours on. We used them at…

   I started by going to Target (my local one) and getting all kind of stuff from the travel bins. Most things in there are about a dollar each. Examples: a little tissue packs (3 for $1), lint rollers, tiny sewing kits, sunblock, aloe gel, antibacterial gel, bandaids, little tylenol packets. Then, I put all that stuff in…

   I didn't put anything "brilliant" in our welcome bags but I've got the list of what we did put in my bio. I thought we filled it with some pretty useful stuff and I did notice everyone using the stuff we got them in their pics they gave us (i.e. the beach mats). Our Maui Mike's chapstick were a huge hit!A good place to get…

    Re: Honolulu Cookie Co.I guess I should clarify - no shipping if you are picking it up at a Maui retail location. (So even though the bulk order must come from Oahu you are technically buying it from the Maui store...)
