they are $5 a piece on Bath and Body Works website right now. That’s a LOT cheaper than the big giant jar. I just got one of these as a gift and LOVE it!

The most thoughtful non-typical thing I was some spot remover stuff. Let’s face it, accidents happen. i don’t remember what it was maybe a woolite product,but you could use it on dry clean only stuff. Awesome.

oops! sorry for the extra post!

$7.50/tube is a lot considering they sell for less than that at bath & body works. plus they occasionally have coupons for bbw that you could use if you spend $x.

Hospitality basket? OMG one more thing I forgot about!
Anyone skipping this at their wedding?

BJT, the hospitality basket is only a nice-to-have. I’ve only been to a few weddings that have had one. The great thing, though, is that this is something you can prepare months beforehand or a simple project you can hand off to a friend.

I’m sure I’ll put out a hospitality basket as well, but sometimes I question if they are really needed, especially considering how much brides truly stress over them.
Isn’t part of being a good guest coming prepared? Of course their are uncontrollable accidents, but would you go to a formal dinner at a restaurant and expect them to provide you with bobby pins or lip shine?
I would figure that most females would come bearing their own lipstick/lipgloss. Maybe I am just stingy but if I am spending over $220/person just for the reception, I don’t feel the need to shell out a lot of money to provide everyone with goodies that they don’t need, but will just take because they are there (especially after they will all get an OOT bag). My basket will be necessities only — tissues, safety pins, bobby pins, a few hair bands, some Advil, etc.

Haha just as I started reading the original post, I was putting on my Mentha Lip Shine. Love it.

I agree with Julie. I’d only add one thing… you can get these mini brethalyzer test things with packs of disposable breathy-tubes. Obviously this would depend on the crowd…but it might be a good idea if people are driving and not staying at that hotel/etc.

Of course, I have no idea where to get these things. A friend received one for his 21st bday.

The groomsmen were joking about making prank guestroom baskets — Preparation H, Anusol, jock itch cream, Compound-W, Nair, Just for Men, Midol, pregnancy test, Depends, Fleet enemas, etc.

Can you imagine! Making a list of things people are embarrassed to buy in the drugstore provided a much-needed laugh!
