Preparing for overnight guests...

I'll add snacks after a quick trip to the grocery store tomorrow.

 

The extra touches that count:

    A bed light for reading

    Current magazines, a new mystery

    Facial tissues, toothbrush, toothpaste

    Enough pillows to permit reading in bed

    Wooden hangers for clothes

    Snack Tray - Bottled water, salted peanuts, chocolates, snacks

 

 

Since my cousin Betsy and her husband are coming to visit from Florida, I wanted to have a little package for Betsy.  I thought one of the little trunks they have at Hobby Lobby would make a great gift and gift basket.   

The extras that I like to do:

    Put fresh flowers in the room (Just a small vase, not enough
    to overpower your guests)

    Put a candle in the room, along with matches for lighting it

    Put a small vase of flowers in the guest bathroom too

 

Can you tell me anything special you do when you are having guests?

I haven't seen Betsy in about 9 years and they've never been to our home, so I want their visit to be extra special.

Thanks for reading,

Gretchen

It sounds like you have it covered. That will be so much fun to visit when you haven't seen each other in so long. Love the little trunk filled with take-home goodies!

I do everything that you do...plus....I make sure there is a pile of fresh fluffy towels in the bath. Fresh unopened bars of bath soap, and a pile of brochures on what to do in the area.

Have fun with your guests.
Hugs,
