We all know the importance of welcoming guests into a private oasis of their own when they come to visit, but over the holidays small touches can add that holiday flair with out a lot of fuss. Here's a list of our favourite ideas for a welcoming holiday guest room.
Scented Candles beside the bed are a small luxury with big impact - make sure they're well contained in case your guests fall asleep! And amp up the luxe with this year's hottest scents from favourite designers.
The Latest Bestseller - cool nights lend themselves well to diving into a new novel. You can search the local bookstores for this season's favourites and gift one or two to your guests or share one of your own well-read classics. Magazines to flip through can also be a welcome diversion. A single novel or a small stack mixed with home decor or special interests books work equally well.

Seasonal Flower Display - think outside the vase and go for the not so typical arrangement. How about gorgeous shades of greenery or bare branch tree cuttings for something a little different? Of course traditional flowers in a pretty vase are always welcome!
Luxurious Throw - from faux fur to soft, plush velvet and all cozy textiles in between, no guest bed is complete without a beautiful throw at the end of the bed.

Plush Robe & Slippers - traveling light is important and usually doesn't allow your guests to pack big, bulky robes so why not supply one for them for the ultimate in holiday comfort.
Peppermint Chocolate - everyone appreciates a little chocolate on the pillow so why not surprise with a holiday indulgence.
Hot Water Bottle - for extra cold nights a hot water bottle can make certain Jack Frost doesn't nip at those toes. Find one with a cozy faux fur cover for a luxurious touch.

A Special Holiday Mug - chilly mornings call for hot bevvies so why not provide your guests with a special holiday mug of their own. Give monogrammed mugs or make each guest's slightly different, so they're easy to identify each morning. Filled with special treats they also make a lovely welcoming gift.
