Bathroom Gift Baskets for Guests

01/08/16 | Casa

Disclosure: this is a sponsored post. All thoughts, opinions and good smelling bath stuff are purely my own.

When I bought my first house, I was ecstatic. I was even more elated when I had my first round of guests come through.

One of the things that I really liked about my little doll house was that the guest bathroom had a lot of counter space. I used that space creatively to welcome my guest. Rolled up, color coordinated towels were always the rage.

I also decided I wanted my guests to feel pampered so I would create these guest baskets. There, they would find soaps, body wash, lotions, loofahs, you name it. This was a hit! Everyone said they felt like they were at a hotel. Of course, they were able to take all these goodies home with them at the end of their stay.

This past holiday season, I created several baskets of treats for my family. The first basket was my sock basket. When you come to my house, you will be greeted by an array of soft socks that you can change into as I like shoes to be left at the front.

With my sister staying with me for well over a week, I wanted to make sure that she and her partner felt welcome. So they got a special treat. A caring basket featuring Caress. Y’all, can I just tell you that I have found my favorite bath bar in the world! This bar had my entire bathroom smelling of flowery scents that took me back to some island paradise. My sister loved it and I happily stocked up on it after a quick shopping trip to Sam’s.

LoofahLoofahs, face scrubbies and body washes could be found in my little welcome tin. I usually put some washcloths on the bottom to make my tin look nice and pretty.

At the end of her stay, my guests get to pack up all the good smelling yummies. I like to think that when they get home and use the products, they get to think about me and their stay at Chateu Mami.

Oh and if you don’t have guests, this makes a great little gift basket as well. Wrap it in some cellophane and voila! I’ve been known to bring this little gift when I’m staying at someone’s house. It can sometimes take the pressure off from a host.

Do you create easy to gift baskets for loved ones? Seriously, you guys need to try this bath bar. It I everrathang! You will not be disappointed.

Trust me, I’m a Mami.

  • #TBT to when I got my first taste of purple. Get ready because the purple might make a comeback in 2020. Ima need @crownpaint_colors to make a 20lb jar for me...lol 😁 #PurpleHair
  • The Frog Princess loves crystals. She's had the 2 hearts tucked under her pillow these last 2 days she's been under the weather.  I'd been holding on to the hematite for a minute and just gave it to her.

Whenever I used to travel west, I would find crystal hearts at the airports. It became a thing for a while. Since then, we've upgraded to our crystal dealer, @homegirlporvida. I've tasked baby girl with taking inventory of her crystals while she is home with the flu to give us something fun and creative to focus on. Here's hoping for a super speedy recovery. #putitintheuniverse #FrogPrincess #MagicalGirl
  • This is not a drill! Baby girl has the flu. 😷

Time to grab chicken soup ingredients, more honey for my aloe concoction, ice cream for my immune system and the Tamiflu script. 🎶Just another day, living I'm the 'hood. Just another day around the way.🎵 #Mamihood
  • I'm on defcon 3. What should've been a fun "Frog Princess and Mami" day has turned into a fever watch and nap day. It seems like it's just a passing cold but, my guard doesn't go down until the fever is all the way gone.

Thankfully, all has been quiet. Though it has been 2+ years since her last #febrileseizure, I'm still on high alert. #Mamihood
  • When I learned about @openbookfoundation I was in awe! Their mission? To bridge the literacy gap amongst low-income elementary schools. To date, 200,000 books have been donated to elementary schools. 
When they pinged me about a giveaway of @michelleobama's book, I wasn't sure what I would do. Then, all of a sudden it hit me! Who is my favoritest teacher that continually amazes me?! So today, I'd like to say a great big thanks to the foundation for providing me with a gift card to be able to provide 5 copies of Becoming to the student library of @hustlesway. Kymberli, thank you for all you do. Your student library is just what the kids need and exactly what we need to see out in this world. You are changing lives and the impact on our future is apparent! Happy reading to your students! #BecauseofHer #MamiReads #TeachersRock #letsreads
