Guest Survival Kits

Most brides know that it is wise to carry a wedding-day emergency kit with things like bobby pins and scissors.  However, I was surprised last fall to see one of my friends extend the same courtesy to her wedding guests!  She thoughtfully provided baskets in the restroom as a sort of a guest survival kit--now that's Midwestern hospitality!  The basket had a sign similar to this:


That's a little too cute for me, but something like this might work:


I noticed a lot of people using the stuff in the baskets, too!  I love this idea, so after Christmas, Lance and I picked up these baskets to use.


There are a ton of things that you can choose to fill them with, too:

Advil
Air fresheners
Antacids
Ballet slippers
Band-aids
Bobby pins
Chapstick
Clear finger nail polish (for hose runs)
Feminine hygiene products
Floss
Gum
Hair ties
Hairspray
Hem tape (double sided fashion tape)
Lotion
Makeup remover
Mints
Mouthwash
Nail clippers
Playing cards
Safety pins
Scissors
Sewing kits
Spot remover
Spray deodorant
Sunscreen
Super glue
Tissues
Tweezers
Wet wipes

I may leave out the more personal items (mouthwash, tweezers, etc.), but there are still a lot of items that might be helpful.  Anything else that you can think of?  Anything winter-specific?
