Tips for Creating a Guest Welcome Basket

1. Arrange all the goodies in your basket and place it on the bed your guests will use. I usually set out bath towels next to the basket too! This is a special way to greet your guests so they feel comfortable as soon as they arrive.
2. Replenish all non-perishable supplies when your guests leave so it’s ready to go the next time you need it. Having a stocked basket allows you to be ready at a moment’s notice for any last-minute guests, so you don’t have to spend time rounding up toiletries and other needed items.
