A guest room during the holidays (or anytime) can be a life-saver, but what about the rest of the year? Sacrificing space for the occasional visitor is often a luxury most homes can’t accommodate. There is also the added burden of furnishing and cleaning a room that is rarely used. That doesn’t mean you can’t prep for guests though! As a solution I put together this guest bin with all of the essentials to welcome friends and family confidently without the stress of finding clean linens and forgotten supplies.
To get started, I grabbed a 56 quart tub and added the following items:
- Sheets to fit whichever bed your guests will be stying on
- Blanket
- Pillow(s)
- Bath Towel & Washcloth
- Toiletries like shampoo and conditioner, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, cotton swabs, and lotion
- Menstrual Products

Want to be the hostess with the most-ess? Roll out the red carpet by providing the wifi name and password. I created a special sticker with this information and attached it to the toiletry kit, but you could easily slip in a piece of paper as well.
I hope this idea helps you prep for guests. Want more storage ideas? Try these 10 Space-Saving Products Under $10. Happy entertaining!
