How many guests will you be hosting this holiday season? At our house we usually don't know who or when to expect guests because everyone's schedule is so busy, but eventually the house will be filled to the brim with family and friends. When you are expecting so many people it can get nerve wrecking because you want to make sure your guests will have a comfortable stay and that you will have whatever they may need on hand. The last thing you want to do is leave the holiday celebration to make a store run. The trick is to prepare your home and try to plan as best as you can so that you can forget about last minute store visits. 

Today I am sharing how to put together a Holiday Survival Kit for your guests.

Adding Premium Saltines to my survival basket will give your guest something to much on between meals. Add some jam, cheese, fresh fruit and a glass of wine!

With all of the rich foods and extra calories we will all be consuming, it's a good idea to offer your guests plenty of water. I love how elegant Smart Water looks on a tray or on a bedside table. Offering your guests the good water will have them coming back to visit again. 

Coughs and sniffles are pretty common during the holidays, that's why I always have plenty of HALLS to provide comfort for scratchy throats and Kleenex for the nosies. These little Kleenex packs are the perfect ones to offer your guests and they are so darn cute.  

Something else I always include are Lyson Wipes and spray. Lysol kills 99.9% of bacteria on soft surfaces. Always have an extra bottle in the restroom and spray all the high-traffic areas a few times a day. 

Guest Holiday Survival Kit

Now it's time to put together our guest survival kit. Grab all the items we talked about and fill up a small container for each guest. They can keep this kit in their room and always have those items at hand to ensure a more pleasant stay. Plus guests feel really special and welcomed when you give them their own goodies to enjoy.
