What to Put in a Guest Room Welcome Basket

Striped Bin

Having company soon? Consider gifting them the most adorable and thoughtful welcome basket. I can speak from experience when I say, it’s something your guests will probably never forget!

Earlier this year, our friends Dave and Natalie were moving to Florida, so they stayed with us for a day or two after the movers took all their stuff. (I’m not crying it’s okay I’m fine everything’s fine. 😆) My brother-in-law, John, and Emma’s best friend, Walker, were also sleeping over! So, it was going to be a packed house and I really couldn’t wait. I was SO excited!

Holiday Family Photo Tips

Tartan Tissue Turtleneck / Cozy Jeans (THE BEST. So warm and soft!) / Black Pumps (Ridiculously cheap today. It’s unreal. Tan version here.) / Long Cardigan (sold out but similar HERE)/ Girls’ Blackwatch Plaid Dresses (Sold out! More adorable girls dresses, HERE) / Mitch’s Checked Shirt (sold out but similar HERE)

Now through Sunday, everything at J.Crew Factory is 50-60+ percent off! Read my complete guide to shopping the site here.

Guys, I’m here to set things straight.

Your holiday card photo doesn’t need to include all members of your family; it’s fine if no one is looking at the camera. It doesn’t have to be taken with a “real camera.” Heck, it doesn’t even have to exist in physical form! (Ah, modern technology.)
