1. Welcome gift basket. Put a small gift basket in your room with snacks like fresh and dried fruits, nuts, granola bars, and waters. Add a personalized note and local map to welcome them home. Place the basket on a bed tray on your bed.

2. Room sign. If you have young children, ask them to draw your guests a sign for their bedroom door. Children’s drawings are always a pleasure to see!

3. Prepare the bath. Roll up the towels and tie them with a ribbon so they know there are clean towels awaiting your arrival after you shower.

4. Pamper yourself! As in hotels, provide a small basket with small personal care products, such as lotion, body wash, bubble bath, and soaps.

5. Topic. Consider theming your stay. If you’re going to the beach during your trip, put a beach theme in your bedroom, bathroom, and during happy hour. Shell soaps in the bathroom, use a shell spreader during happy hour, make candle landscapes out of sand and shells – the ideas are endless.
