I always put out fresh flowers and supply makings for mimosas, or wine/beer, etc. depending on the reason for stay. I include grapes, cheese, crackers—and fresh bakery muffins for the first morning. If coming for a football game in the winter, I supply hand/foot warmers and blankets for the stadium.
In the kitchen, I include a ton of extras for cooking (slow cooker, hand mixer, tons of spices and dry goods, etc.) It is not a barren kitchen. There are jars of sauce and dry pasta—in case needs to make something quickly without heading to the store. The fridge is stocked with condiments, eggs, milk, OJ and butter.
In the bathroom, I have a towel warmer for the hot tub towels, citronella candles for the patio. I also include bath items such as Neutrogena wipes, QTips, extra toothbrushes, etc.
Every room has a combo alarm clock radio with built in mag phone charger. I also have other chargers.
The office has a monitor, mouse, keyboard and printer with plenty of paper, writing implements, etc.
For kids, I have plenty of games, puzzles, cards and markers. Although markers on rugs aren’t fun to clean. lol.
We allow pets and have pet bowls, a huge dog bed—that a human actually slept on once.
I tailor some “extras” and chalkboard messaging to the guest and occasion.
