I recently put together a very simple project: a bathroom basket. I loved this project. It took all of about 5 minutes. :) I picked up some items from the Dollar Tree (including the basket!) and put together a little emergency kit for our wedding guests.
There's quite a mish-mash of stuff in the basket but here's an idea:
- Hair brush
- Mouthwash
- Flossers
- Tums
- Ibuprofen
- Nail kit (fingernail clippers, tweezers, file, etc.)
- Lint roller
- Eye liner (hey, I don't leave the house without it!)
- Lotion
- First aid kit
- Cough drops
- Q-tips
- Safety pins
- Deodorant (a unisex kind -- I didn't want to leave anyone out!)
I think there are some other odds and ends in there, but you get the idea. And, there will be a sign with the basket with the following poem:
Just in case you can't read that, it says:
We are happy you're here to share in our special day, but should something happen to go astray, please help yourself to the contents within: hair brush, bandaids, or even aspirin. Use only what you need and leave the rest: it may also be useful to another guest. So repair the damage that may have been done, then hurry on back and join the fun!
I am very pleased with how it turned out. I may add a few more things to the basket as we get closer. For now, I think it's dandy. :)
Love this site and bathroom baskets are the best!! Don't forget to throw in some tampons. Oh, and while the poem is cute I find it a little patronizing. I would only use the poem if you think your guest are clueless when it comes to this kind of thing.
