                      Holiday Guest Preparation
 
I’ll be home for Christmas… or people may be in your home for the holidays. Your schedule may be jam packed with gift shopping, events to celebrate; your home may be bursting with decorations and people anxiously awaiting food and entertainment. The holiday season can be a stressful time, but we want to help you get ahead of the game and be the best hosting as can be! Follow our guest-hosting guide to prepare your home to leave a lasting and memorable experience for your guests.
 
Entryway:
  • Hosting goes beyond a comfortable bed and hot shower, make sure all areas of your home are welcoming. Make a memorable first impression with seasonal decorations in your entryway.
Kitchen:
  • Leave mugs and coffee/hot chocolate products displayed on the counter for easy access in the mornings
  • If guests are joining you in the evening, cocktail’s to toast an exciting visit is a great way to kick off an enjoyable time.
  • Make note of where important items are located for easy access.
  • Before guest arrival, discuss favorite food items to have in stock and any possible food allergies.
Living room:
  • Provide extra blankets and throw pillows.
  • Leave instructions for remote control use.
Bedroom:
  • Prepare the bed with fresh linens, loads of pillows and extra blankets.
  • Stage a display with snacks, mints, water bottles, candle, matches, advil, magazines and any other specialty items they may enjoy.
  • Provide a place for your guest to unpack, leave room in the closet or dresser for personal items, hanging items and coats.
  • Depending on length of your guests stay, you may want to provide a laundry basket to keep the room tidy and offer laundry service before their departure.
  • Provide an extra lamp for reading and fan for an extra touch your guest will surely appreciate.
Bathroom:
  • Access to a towel hook or two.
  • Basket or jar to display extra necessities like an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, soap, and other toiletries.
  • Provide a robe, fresh towels and washcloths.
  • A nightlight is a nice addition when guests are fatigued and need to use the facilities middle of the night.
