Putting Together A Perfect Guest Basket
I finally had company, you know the kind that isn’t your parents or siblings. The kind that you get to clean your house for and make it look all cute. My sweet friend Aimee from Small Anchors came all the way from New York to spend a long weekend with me. We shopped all over, bought her some really cowboy boots and had a little business pow wow too. Such a fun weekend with a great friend. If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile now you know that I went to see Aimee last Summer when she was still living in sunny San Diego. She had the most adorable welcome guest basket for me when I arrived. I couldn’t wait to make up my own guest basket for her trip to Texas!
I filled the basket with a ton of my favorite things and a few must haves.
A sweet mason jar glass with daisy cut lid
Health snacks in hand stamped muslin bags
Mini journal and pen
I even picked up her favorite See’s Candies since I was just at their Grand Opening event a few days before.
What would you include in a guest welcome basket at your house?
what a great idea and fun for guest. Thanks for sharing.
That is really sweet and cute! I’d love to do something like this when my friends from colorado and texas come visit!
You are the second person this week I’ve seen blog about guest baskets for company. I wish someone would come visit me so I could make one too! I only remember visiting one person who ever created one for me and I remember it had one of those cooling soothing sleep masks in it and a bottle of Tylenol. LOL. She knew it was going to be a party weekend and those were great for those hangover mornings. 🙂
Love this! It’s so cute. We finally have a place for people to stay with us now and I’ll have to remember this 🙂
That looks super cute! I love the basket and you put some awesome goodies in there!
This is so cute & what a great way to make your guests feel nice & welcomed!
Sounds like you all had a fun time together! Love the guest basket idea! That would be a great way to welcome your guest and share a bit about the local area at the same time!
This is great to make your guests feel at home!

Hey, stopping by from the motivational Monday link party!
This basket is such a great idea, I’ll have to keep this in mind when we have a house guest other than friends or family over! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a cute guest basket. I love the idea of doing gist baskets for different occasions.

What a wonderful basket to give a guest!
What a fun idea! I need to do that next time we have company. I bet she enjoyed the special thought that went into the basket you created.
So cute! I always try to include some favorite snacks and bottles of water – for those guests who get hungry late at night after the house is quiet, and don’t want to raid your kitchen LOL Thanks so much for taking the time to link up over at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again this Friday! Feel free to bring a friend 🙂
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing your project at the Inspiration Spotlight party! Hope to see you again soon. Pinned & shared.
I put slippers with grids on the bottom, mints, lip balm, and wipes for their glasses (can get at Dollar Store) to my guest basket.
