The holidays are almost here and like many of you, we are gearing up for house guests. YAY! I even put together a fun little Guest Room Welcome Basket with all of the essentials. Yes, I know that we don’t have a designated guest room (sorry, family!), but this container of goodies will work perfect on an air mattress or next to the pull out couch. *wink*
One thing that has been on our minds lately is trying to avoid the massive amounts of sickness that our family experienced last winter. (Can you say flu, strep, ear infections, pneumonia, and even a broken foot? Yikes.) So, we’ve been using on pretty much everything. Hands. Hard surfaces. You name it.
As I was putting together our Guest Room Welcome Basket, I knew I had to throw some wipes in. Our guests certainly don’t want to get sick while traveling and if we can help them minimize that, we are glad to. So, what are these essentials that guests may need?
Well, for starters…
- Towels – Everyone needs to shower at some point.
- Toiletries – Shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, razor, lotion.
- Tissues – Can always come in handy.
- Water – Thirst quenchers.
- Snacks – Midnight munchies, anyone?
- Candle – Ambiance.
- Books – Late night reading.
- Wifi Password – Of course.
- – For extra clean hands and surfaces.
So what’s with the hand wipes?
You are probably asking yourself why I didn’t just include some hand sanitizer gel instead? Well, these natural, moisturizing wipes are actually better than gel because they can kill 99.99% of germs. Plus, they can be used to remove soil and bacteria from not only your hands, but also hard surfaces, such as door knobs and switch plates. Even high chairs! You know that germs can certainly hang out there.
These hand wipes are great to have around the house and will help keep the germs away for the holidays. I found mine at Walmart, so head over there and grab a 5 x 20ct. Family Value Pack for yourself and your guests!
I hope that our guests like the little basket we have prepared for them!
I believe it is important to make your house guests feel welcome. Sometimes guests may feel uncomfortable asking for items they may have forgotten or need, so this little bin makes it super easy to have all of that stuff in one spot, ready for them to use. Would you add anything else?

I love your guest room basket! And I am all for anti-bacterial wipes during the cold/flu season! Too many germs for my liking! Happy New Year!

You have written a good article. The tips are great. I would also add a massage. It is really helpful. I went many months to chiropractic and got rid of muscle knots in shoulder. Thanks for the help!
