    How about a small piece of art? Or maybe something with the GVSU logo?

    I am not from there but in my short Google search I saw several apple orchards. I don't know how common those are but I thought I would give it a shot! Good luck :)

    How about a small bag of Grand Rapids popcorn? :) A small (4 oz) bag is $1.50.

    We do have a lot of orchards - you could see if any do apple cider mix, or dried apple chips. Also, if you want to go just a smidge north, you can add Michigan's real cash crop: Cherries!!!

    Yum!

    Hey there! I just got married in November in Grand Rapids at the Amway.....I'm a fellow Laker, too!  We bought carmel popcorn from th Grand Rapids Popcorn Company and put it in our welcome baskets.  My husband and I live in Chicago--home of Garrett's---so we thought this would be a cute throwback for our hometown and wedding sight!
