Bathroom Baskets & Poem

A nice token of appreciation for your guests: bathroom baskets. I am putting some pretty baskets filled with sundries for my guests in both the women's and men's rooms of the banquet hall. Along side the basket is a sign with a poem which says:

Whether your skin feels dry
Or your hair out of place,
You're not feeling so fresh
Or whatever the case,
Please help yourself to the contents within
Mints, lotion, and even aspirin,
So repair the damage that may have been done
Then hurry on back and join in the fun!
---Compliments of the Newlyweds---

This poem was not a "Katie-original", by the way. I found two different poems on the knot's DIY board: http://forums.theknot.com/default.aspx?path=http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_diy , and combined what I liked about each poem to form the previous!

As for the contents of the bathroom baskets, the ladies get:

nail file
bobby pins
elastics
mouthwash
small paper cups for mouthwash
clear nail polish
mints
tissues

body spray
spray deodorant

aspirin
safety pins
hair spray
lint roller
Tide-to-go pen

The men get:

finger nail clippers
mints
mouthwash
small paper cups for mouthwash
tissues
q-tips
spray deodorant
tylenol
