It's time to get down with a little gift giving to your guests. Usually they are the ones showering you with gifts, but maybe every get together should start (or end) with a little thank you for attending. Whether it be a dinner party or a weekend full of celebration, thank guests for taking time out of their busy schedules and supporting you. While a simple dinner party only requires an embroidered dish towel and some nice hand soap, my favorite gift to give to guests is the welcome basket for a weekend soiree. Surprise out of town guests at their hotel with a basket full of essentials to make them feel at home and ensure a few days of comfortable fun. Some of my favorite items to pile in the basket (or bag) is a bottle of room spray in your favorite scent, luscious lotions, a bottle of wine with a couple glasses, a map of the area with a list of things to do in spare time, and a pair of fuzzy slippers.
What would you want to see in a welcome basket?
