Hostess with the Mostest: Ultimate Pre-Guest Checklist From Soak & Sleep

If you’re playing host this festive season, creating a comfortable and indulgent retreat for your guests is a fantastic way to spread the cheer. From setting up the perfect guest bedroom to providing skincare goodies for a pampering experience, here are some essential tips to ensure your guests feel right at home.

The Guest Bedroom Retreat
Transforming your guest bedroom into a cosy retreat adds that extra touch of holiday magic for visiting friends and family. Ensure your guests comfort with Soak&Sleep bedding products, providing an inviting and luxurious sleeping sanctuary.

Bedding Essentials
Cocoon your guests in comfort and personalise their sleeping experience with warm & cosy bedding. From heavenly Soft as Down microfibre, to supreme 90% Hungarian Goose Down Duvets & Pillows, Soak&Sleep has something to suit all types of sleepers.

Luxurious Layers
The bed is the focal point of any guest room. Invest in high quality white bed linen that is crisp and comfortable, for an indulgent hotel feel. For added warmth and style, layer in luxury with a super soft faux fur throw at the foot of the bed.

Storage Solutions
​​Make room in the guest bedroom and closet for your guests' belongings. Clear out unnecessary items and provide empty drawers or a small section of the closet with hangers for their use.

Twinkling Ambience
Lighting plays a pivotal role in creating a welcoming ambience. Incorporate soft, twinkling fairy lights delicately along the room's perimeter, a decorative bedside lamp or gently scented candles for a warm glow.

The Gift of Winter Skincare
Winter brings cosy moments and festive cheer, but it also brings cold, dry air that can wreak havoc on the skin. Show your loved ones how much you care by gifting them a brilliant winter skincare routine that nourishes, protects and pampers their skin throughout the chilly season.

Skincare Essentials
Elevate your guests experience with indulgent skincare treats from Wǒ Skincare. From 3-in-1 cleansers to nourishing essences, Wǒ offers a wonderful selection to ensure your loved ones feel refreshed and relaxed during their stay.

Care Packages
Gift your guests with a Wǒ Skincare set, allowing them to continue their skincare routine even after their stay. These sets make for an exquisite holiday gesture, offering a taste of luxury skincare they’ll appreciate.

Thoughtful Touches
Tailor skincare products to suit your loved ones skin concerns or preferences. Consider packaging the products in a beautifully presented box or basket, adding a personal note explaining why each item was chosen specifically for them.

Self-care Station
​​Go above and beyond and provide a designated space in the guest room or bathroom for skincare routines. Provide a mirror, comfortable seating and good lighting to facilitate their self-care rituals.

Hosting during the festive season is a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories. By focusing on comfort, thoughtful touches, and pampering amenities, you can ensure your loved ones feel truly welcomed and cherished during their stay.
