In less than a month, you may be amongst the millions around the world who’ll be hosting friends and family members for Christmas festivities.
How do you go about preparing for the imminent arrivals? Giving the house a top-to-toe deep clean, changing all the bedding and stocking up on extra food & drink will be the first things on our ‘to do’ list.
Luckily, we have a couple of spare bedrooms where people are accommodated and we like to make our guests’ stay as comfortable as possible.
A welcome basket filled with guest bedroom essentials is a thoughtful gesture that visitors will always appreciate and remember. Here are a few items you could include:
- fluffy towels
- bathrobe / dressing gown
- bedroom slippers
- toothbrush & toothpaste
- soap
- moisturiser
- eye mask
- ear plugs
- pain killers
This Zeller bamboo basket from Wayfair is the perfect way to attractively hold and display the various items that you’ve chosen for your welcome pack.
You could also consider books, magazines and reading material relating to the house or local area. Place a vase of pretty, fragrant flowers on the windowsill. Leave a glass & carafe of water, box of tissues and a note with your wifi network password on the bedside table.
What would you include in your basket of guest bedroom essentials?
