Never fear! Kate Parker Weddings has come to my rescue with her Out of town baskets. Unfortunately, she does not have a basket specifically for my city. That is ok because I got some great ideas from her.
I will add: local cuisine of some sort (maybe smoked salmon), a bottle of wine from a local winery, corkscrew, a map & welcome brochure for the area, some local coffee, a Starbucks' city mugs, and a hand-written thank-you note for coming.
These will be put into the Canvas Teacher's Tote ($4.99 each) or the Reusable Tote Bag ($1.49 each) from Cheap Totes. Which are MUCH less expensive than the L.L.Bean Boat&Tote

Is there anything else that is a must for the OOT bags? I feel as though I'm forgetting something important!

You should also check out this site for tote bags: http://ingreetings.com/onwholortot.html because a friend of mine got hers here and they were very inexpensive and great quality!
Those are such cute ideas! Your guests will love them!
Thanks for the tips. I am going to use these bags to give stuff to my bridesmaids in.
So cute! I bought some pink paper gift bags from Oriental Trading and plan on using those. However, I have about 60 people coming from OOT...sorority sisters, N's friends, and N's family. The canvas bags got expensive quickly!
