Hosting guests for Christmas can be one of the best parts of the season, bringing everyone together under one roof to share in the festive spirit! A few simple preparations can make your home feel extra welcoming. Here are three ways to get guest-ready:

 

 

1. Fresh Bedding for a Cosy Stay

 

Nothing says “welcome” like fresh bedding. Start with clean sheets, pillowcases, and a warm duvet to make the bed feel inviting. If you have winter bedding, such as flannel sheets or an extra-thick blanket, now’s the time to use it. Small touches like a throw blanket or festive pillow can add a little Christmas charm without going overboard. Consider leaving an extra blanket nearby for guests who might want more warmth.

 

 

2. Provide Fresh Towels

 

Offering each guest a set of fresh towels is a small but thoughtful gesture. Prepare a bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth for each guest and leave them on the bed or in the bathroom. Toiletries, like shampoo and soap, can be a helpful touch—especially for those travelling from further away.

 

 

3. Clear Space for Their Belongings

 

A little extra room for your guests’ things goes a long way. If possible, clear a drawer or make a bit of space in the wardrobe with some spare hangers. A few hooks or an over-the-door hanger can also be helpful for coats or bags if space is tight. Adding a small tray or bedside table for essentials like phones and keys will make it easy for guests to settle in and feel comfortable.
