Be the perfect host…
Wow your overnight guests with a luxurious and well stocked guest room and bath. I like to take the shampoos, lotions and conditioners with me from my hotel stays (I paid for them right?) and use them in a basket in my guest bath. Over time I have accumulated many different kinds plus shower caps, toothpastes, toothbrushes etc that are all perfect for my guests when they stay over at my home. If you don’t stay in hotels much, you can still find individual sized toiletries in the travel section of your Target, Walmart or drugstore.
It should go without saying, but I will say it anyway… CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN is the key here. Your guests aren’t expecting 5-Star luxury accommodations but that doesn’t mean you can’t strive for it. If you don’t have time for a thorough cleaning -let the professionals handle it this time. If you do have time (and energy) – don’t forget the corners, baseboards and ceiling fan!
Here is a list of a few items that will have your guests begging to come back soon!
