I'm looking for ideas of small Columbus-y items to put in hotel welcome bags for a wedding a week from Saturday. (oh my lord it is next weekend) and thought you all might have some ideas.

We're giving people Cheryl and Co cookies plus buckeye candies (any recs for buckeye makers, by the way?) but I wanted to add something else.

Ideally the said item would be: a.) available for 80-90 people, b.) fun, local and/or unique, c.) able to be received by next Saturday and d.) relatively inexpensive

I guess that is a little picky. Any ideas? Also, best place to get a wrapped (or wrap-able) buckeye?

Ohio soap? I know StinkyBomb does wholesale pricing --- with that quantity, you'd surely qualify.

Best individually wrapped buckeyes are probably from Anthony Thomas.

pure imagination chocolatier in the north market, they might even make something special since you have a little time.

Buckeye candy discussion here:

Devon Morgan is the head pasty chef at our hotel and crafts exquisite hand-dipped buckeyes. I'm not sure of the cost, but I'll pm you contact information.

Local hot sauce or salsa from Montezuma or Cajohn's might be fun. (lookin' at you alexs) Chuck has bottles of dry rubs in his product line, too:

Pattycake Bakery may have a few creative options in mind.

Pam's Gourmet Popcorn in the North Market can throw together nice edible gifts.

I'd advise against Pistacia Vera macaroons only because they don't stay well in warm temperatures, and they're very fragile--they'd get all messed up in the bag.

Cheryl's Cookies are a great idea, as are all the ones listed above.

Only new suggestion I might make is a t-shirt from Homage, though I suspect that $28 per pop is more than you'd want to spend on this for all your guests receiving the bags.

perhaps a rahrag from Homage would be a better fit, although I don't know if those are available all of the time.
