If you’re anything like me, you absolutely love having your family and friends over to your home. I happen to live away from most of my family and friends so I already know if they come to visit me, they’ll end up staying the night so I’m always sure to plan ahead and make sure my guest bedroom and bathroom have these 10 essential items.
I hate when I’m staying the night at someone’s house and I can’t seem to find anything so I have to keep asking where things are and end up feeling like I’m being a bother (even though they probably won’t think that). I also hate the feeling of timidly having to ask for a spare toothbrush because I forgot to pack mine.
So, whether it’s to impress your mother-in-law with your outstanding hospitality or because of past experiences with poor hospitality, I’ve got you covered!
Keep reading for a detailed list of items to create a memorable guest experience!

Wifi Display: I’m sure you are used to hearing “What’s your wi-fi password?” when you have friends and family visiting. I found the cutest wi-fi info display and it is a definite must-have for your guestroom!
Toiletries: I’m sure most people travel with their own toiletries, but from experience I know that you just always forget that one thing! Stock up on travel size toiletries to keep in your guest bathroom to help your guest out when needed. Find the men’s toiletry set here.
Towels and Washcloths: These towels and washcloths are extremely soft and absorbs really well! Fold a few and place them in the guest bedroom or bathroom so you don’t have to worry about washing any at the last minute.
LED Night Light: Not everyone prefers to sleep in the complete dark. These night lights come in a pack of 2 and are the perfect option for the guest bedroom or bathroom.
Spa Slippers: Your guests will be happy to have these comfortable slippers to walk around the house in and even take with them if they want, and it’s a plus for you because you get to limit the amount of germs spreading through your home.
Fan: Many people like a cool environment when sleeping. If you don’t have a ceiling fan installed then it’s a good idea that you get a stand up fan for your guest bedroom. This is the remote-controlled fan I have for my guest bedroom. My mom has a similar fan in her guest room and I loved it so much I had to find one just like it!
Diffuser: My brother and sis-in-love bought me this diffuser for my birthday and I found it perfect to place in my guest bedroom with a few different essential oils.
A comfy robe: Your guests will definitely feel like they’re at a 5-star hotel with this plush robe to put on after their shower. It’s unisex so perfect for all guests!
