Stress-Free Holiday Hosting: 6 Tips to Making Your Guests Feel at Home
Posted by The Canningvale Team on 29th Oct 2023
The holiday season is typically a whirlwind, mostly of joy and laughter, but also, usually, a bit of stress thrown in for good measure. And hosting overnight guests? Can be a balancing act, to say the least. Fear not, because this year, Canningvale is offering up 5 foolproof tips to guarantee your hosting venture is not only stress-free, but an actual treat this holiday season!
1. Make a Timeline and Think Ahead
When it comes to beating the stress, planning is your secret weapon. Divide tasks across the weeks leading to Christmas, ensuring nothing is overlooked. By breaking down responsibilities into manageable pieces, you'll maintain a sense of control and organisation, making the holiday hustle feel effortless.
2. Less is More

Clear out the clutter. Repeat after us: Your guest room is no longer a space for storing gym equipment or random boxes full of cables. When it comes to guest rooms, minimalism is key, a pared-back space creates a welcoming and inviting place that your guests are free to make their own.
3. Get Summer Ready
Holiday time in Australia means summer, so having the perfect bedding to keep your guests cool and comfy is key! Look no further than our Luxury Lustro Bamboo bed linen. It's the epitome of luxury, incredibly lightweight, and oh-so-breathable. With bedding this comfy, your guests may never leave.

4. The Little Extras Matter

In our digital age, staying connected is on everyone’s radar. Make life easy for your guests by sharing the Wi-Fi password. And stock your pantry with an array of snacks and drinks, inviting them to help themselves. It's these simple touches that make your place feel like their home away from home.
Add a scented candle on the bedside table for a little ambience, and for an extra special touch, throw in some silk pillowcases and eye masks, guaranteeing they'll have the sweetest dreams during their stay. Your thoughtfulness will make their stay truly memorable.
5. Prepare the Bathroom for a Spa-like Experience
Transform your bathroom into a sanctuary. Wrap your guests up in our soft Egyptian Royale towels, making their shower time feel extra special. Keep things simple in the shower, do a quick declutter and get rid of any old shampoos and razors, giving them plenty of room for their stuff. Oh, and don't forget the scented candles – they add that perfect touch of calm. It's all about creating a zen zone where they can unwind and pamper themselves. Easy-going vibes? Check!

6. Make the Most of Outdoor Spaces
And if your place is starting to feel a little… too cosy, here's a friendly nudge to kick your guests outside – in the nicest way, of course! Set up comfy seating with fluffy cushions, creating a perfect chill-out space. Spruce up your tables with our Cucina table linens; they add a touch of class to any outdoor feast. And for their outdoor escapades, toss them some extra beach towels – comfort on the go, no matter where they wander!
