i have created few custom settings and loaded them with data and i added the custom setting to an unmanagaed package. While deploying the package in another org i saw the custom settings did not have values except the structure. Any thoughts? How can i get the data?

Value entered in custom setting doesn't available in client organizations. Either you have to create them manually or by post-install script. Custom-setting are just like custom objects.

Also you can add check in code if value exist then just use them otherwise insert default values.

Custom Settings are just like any sObejct, if you want the data be included you must have a post script to insert the records into the custom settings. for more info : Documentation
