5 Things You Need For Holiday Entertaining

Can you believe that the holidays are here? Thanksgiving dinner will be served. Holiday shopping will begin. Cookies will be baked. And family will be coming in to visit. That’s what the holidays are all about right?

We all love company, but sometimes the preparing of company can be a little stressful. Here is a list of 5 things that you should have on hand and ready for guests to arrive!

• Food One of my favorite tricks is to have a little something in the freezer ready to go. I make a really great lasagna. So when I make dinner, I just make an extra one and put it in the freezer. Lasagna is a great choice because not only is it delicious, but it will feed a crowd! When I have friends and family over that I haven’t seen in a while, the last thing I want to be doing is to be spending my time away from them and in the kitchen. Having a pre-made meal means they get something homemade and I don’t have to worry about it!
• Some extra toiletries Not only can it be stressful for the host to get ready for company, but visiting can be stressful for the traveler as well! I know that when I am getting ready to leave for a trip, I can check and double check my things and it seems like I always end up forgetting something. Keep a few extra things on hand for these kinds of emergencies like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, razor, shampoo, etc. And as a bonus: If no one uses them this time, they won’t expire!
• Electronic Help When you have a guest coming over help them out with their electronics! I keep an extra one of our cell phone chargers in the spare room. I tell our guests to not even take theirs out so they don’t have to worry about forgetting it. I also write down our wifi password and have it ready for them so they don’t have to ask or go searching.
• Extra blankets and pillows It’s always a smart idea to have a few extra pillows and blankets available. Everyone is used to something different on their beds. Some are used to lots of pillows, some not so many. Some are used to their rooms being very cool and some people may come in for the holidays from a warmer climate and need an extra blanket. Just by setting out some extras can really go the extra mile for your guests.

• Febreze Oh yes! This is a must! Febreze offers so many items in so many different scents. The Febreze Holiday Collection has perfect scents that are designed to get everyone smelling the holidays!
  
  Just smelling the scents like pine and winter, vanilla and sugar, or apple and spice will get you in the holiday mood.

Febreze was nice enough to send me a wonderful (and adorable!) box of Febreze Holiday Collection products and some really fun holiday ideas!

There were so many recipes, home décor ideas and DIY projects that are perfect and so fun in my box. But these scents! They have me singing Holiday songs and put a little holiday pep in my step. You can find the Febreze Holiday Collection at Walmart. They are just perfect for getting your house ready for your holiday guests!
