If you were traveling from out of town for a wedding- what things would you like in a hotel gift basket?

One is a couple in their early 20s.. the other is my Mom and Aunt ..

I have some ideas but maybe I'm missing some ideas?

If you were traveling from out of town for a wedding- what things would you like in a hotel gift basket?
I think your mom and aunt would be touched by a few choice words or a personal poem from you saying how much they mean to you and how important they are to your day along with any other niceties. If it's not your day then just a nice welcoming note to them would be appreciated, probably for the other couple to, from you or whoever is closest to them and living in town.

The generic things are coffee, milk, sugar, biscuits, tissues.

The extra touches might be a mini-sewing kit with safety pins for emergencies.

The flourishes could be a mini-box of Belgian chocs, a mini-bar bottle of wine, a few pieces of fruit or your treat for your family or both parties to breakfast in bed the morning after the wedding or even just breakfast if it is not included.



Overall, try to include comforts they may have left behind. Face wipes/make-up remover pads will probably be a God send. I'm sure that they will just be touched that you have been this thoughtful. The details will not be important.

Reply:Snacks, wet wipes, facial tissues, coupons for food at Burger King or McDonalds, etc, drink boxes, an address book with numbers of people to call in case of emergency, postcards/stamps (and pens) to send to friends while on the trip, bandaids and ointment, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, flashlight and batteries, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, road map, booklet of area attractions, newspaper (for movie times), paper towels and windex, TP (in case I have to stop off the side of the road!), eye drops, tylenol, disposable razors, shaving cream, disposable camera. Some things can be used on the road, some in town.
