A growing trend among hosts has been to provide a welcoming gift basket for guests. This is not only a kind gesture that is sure to garner positive reviews, but it makes your guest’s stay feel personal and special. Some hosts choose to bake fresh goods like cookies or muffins, while others provide locally sourced treats like honey or jams. These items can really wow your guests and give them a taste of the local culture. Some guests, however, may be hesitant accepting homemade food from a person they do not know. For this reason, if you want to provide a welcome basket, it may be best to include individually packaged foods. Here are some great snack options for a welcome gift basket: -Individual bags of chips -Individual bags of crackers -Packaged chocolates -Granola bars -Pop-tarts -Trail mix -Mixed nuts -Tea and coffee -Sugar packets and individual creamers -Hot chocolate -Pancake mix and syrup These are great snack options especially if your guests are checking in late or have kids with them.
