And that means for many of us, holiday visitors from out of town. So I thought I would put together a tip sheet for helping you locate some items to help you create a perfect retreat for your guests. If you were planning on being a guest, any of these would make great hostess gifts too. (What better gift is there then the one that you benefit from?)<br><strong>Bathrobe</strong><p> This is a basic element of creating that “hotel” experience for your guests. I like the Frette robes. They are basic, not outrageously expensive and they have name recognition cache, so your in-laws will feel pampered. This one (above) is made from Egyptian cotton, so it is extra absorbent and has a great pile. It is edged in Percale cotton, which is a nice detail. nospam@example.com () http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/everything-you-need-to-get-ready-for-holiday-guests-327423/#comments http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/everything-you-need-to-get-ready-for-holiday-guests-327423/
