As the days fly by and the holidays are thisclose, it is time to welcome holiday visitors! Of course you’re already providing them with cozy bed spreads and piles of fluffy towels, but with just a few extra accoutrements you can make them feel like kings of the castle. Not to mention securing the title of best hostess ever!
1. Every time we visit my parents there is a vase of fresh flowers by the bedside, and now every time we have guests flowers are at the top of the shopping list (these gorgeous blooms will last forever!) // 2. A cheeky sleep mask to make sure they are well rested even in unfamiliar surroundings // 3. Nobile Fir scented candle to make everything romantic and cozy // 4. Piles of reading materials, I especially like to leave international editions of magazines by the bed, they’re always a huge hit // 5. A gorgeous pen for the crossword puzzle // 6. Water carafes are essential for the bedside // 7. Lots of extra blankets (a few around the house as well) // 8. Travel size Kiehl’s bath and body essentials // 9. Save them from hunting for outlets with this amazing charging station // 10. A cute alarm clock to make sure they don’t miss breakfast // 11. Velvet hot water bottle to cozy up to



Love fresh flowers- especially those ones. It is amazing how much they can transform a room. Great post!
Wow. you’re the best hostess ever! Once, my dad came to stay with me and i made him sleep on the couch, worked late all week so he had to eat dinner alone and then ran out of petrol driving him to the airport… = worst.hostess.ever.
perhaps i’ll print this out as my 2012 resolutions!
Number two is fantastic!
Wow, this is great! I just did a few posts on hosting houseguests, if you’d like to check it out.
Happy New Year!
Oh I just love this post! I’m eying that carafe.. : )
This is such a great post. I wish I could be that “together” that I would have all this great stuff as a hostess! Emily’s comment cracked me up, unfortunately that’s more the kind of hostess I think I would be!
What an adorable post!! All very cute ideas to make a guest feel totally pampered in your house.
This is definitely a way to make house guests feel pampered! They may not want to leave
