They have a saying on them (that I found on here!) and the place and date.

They were free through Vista print and only cost me for shipping. I will only be using like 40 so if you are interested in having some or the remainder please message me and we can arrange for delivery once they arrive here.

 

I also will have like 15 holders to sell if you are interested in those. Let me know!

 

This is exactly what I ordered below:

 

 

I definitely meant to quote, not reply! See my message above!

More snacks, Kleenex, "Queasy Pops", Advil, gum, Aloe gel

 

 

Room key/tip holders with wrist bands (sorry about the glare)

Awesome job on the bags!! Where did you get the key/tip holders? I've been looking to buy 30 of them, but most sites seem to want a huge order....

I'm still waiting for the watches to ship. I ordered 2 lots of 20 and it came to $23.36. I asked for certain colours so maybe that's why they haven't shipped yet? Apparently these are waterproof. They sell the same ones at the Dollarama I believe.... Hopefully they come soon so I can let you know how they turned out!! It is a great idea to have in the bags.

 

Hi all, I posted on this thread a couple of months ago re watches, I think I was actually the one who started the crazy notion of putting these in OOT bags. I ordered from DH gate - - I was specific about colors (needed Fuschia & Orange) and they took a little while longer to receive than it would normally take from China, but the watches are awesome !! The colors were perfect, none of the watches were 'DOA', and I have tested them, they are totally waterproof. A GREAT purchase at 40 pieces (color specific) for $32.00 including the shipping.

If anyone is interested, here is the link for the ones I bought

That's awesome that you like them and they all work. Thanks for starting the trend! I think a lot of people are going to love finding these in their OOT bags. And thanks for the link.

Loubellou, I forgot to ask, do you have to pull the tab out of the battery compartment to get them to start? I just want to order ahead but don't want the batteries to run out.

I just ordered them and it was a reasonable amount (38 bucks for 30 incl shipping). I will test one out before I put them in the bags. I hope everyone likes them!

That's a great idea!! I was thinking for cameras but people use their cellphones to take pics.

Oooh I'm glad to hear yours turned out! I ordered from a different seller! So hopefully mine honours my colour requests as well lol. The only reason I even considered watches was because we were at an all inclusive in Mexico this past December (hanging around the pool bar lol) and you wouldn't believe how many times my FI was asked for the time. Honestly, I looked around and it seemed as if he was the only person wearing a watch haha. So I am absolutely positive that everyone will appreciate these!! They are selling for $1 each at the Dollarama! Crazy!

Anyway, I am SO glad to hear that yours turned out. I'll keep ya posted on mine!!

Hey Julie! I ordered mine through this Ebay Seller:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400254629886#ht_3774wt_966'>http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400254629886#ht_3774wt_966

I'm on a FB Page that brides post on from the resort I'm getting married at and one of the girls used this eBay seller. They sell in smaller quantities so if you only order 20, I can probably give you at least 10 because I am thinking that I'll only end up needing about 38. I haven't received them yet but I will let you know how they turn out! 

 

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400254629886#ht_3774wt_966

 

Oh and it cost $24.98 total.

I ordered mine from Discountmugs.com. Great customer service, lots of choices, and you can get them plain or with your custom logo, depending on your preference and budget. We also ordered 16 oz thermal mugs, beer coozies and collapsable cooler bags from them. I ordered my stuff to my Dad's place in the states but I know they ship to Canada as well.
