  • Tis the season to be hospitable, and hopefully this video will give you a few tips on how you can flex your own 'hostess with the mostess' muscles. Honestly, in my opinion its all about being creative and adding your own personal touches for your guests so that it feels authentic and enjoyable. More holiday videos coming soon. =)

    It's really encouraging when you briefly mention that you lived in apartments for the majority of your marriage. Now, you have this absolutely gorgeous home (from what I can see through videos), it shows that you don't always have to live this "luxurious life" that we see on social media. You are so humble and encourage money saving tips/DIY's. I feel like there are a lot of You tubers here that spend so much for projects and in my head I'm like "Omg, I don't have a budget that big." I love your videos

    This is lovely! When I was a teen my aunt would set up her guest room with magazines, snacks and small things I might need. I was so shy I didn't want to ask for anything so it was really nice that someone prepared for that. I appreciated it so much and now it's one of my favourite things to do. Slippers/ fluffy socks are good too. Making someone feel welcomed into the home is so special!

  • @clan_fraser19
    @clan_fraser19 Před 7 lety +27

    I think it is truly beautiful that you do this for people, Rachel, and you have such a kind and generous heart. However, I agree with the point you made about 'reading' your guests before doing this, as not everyone would enjoy this kind of hospitality. I appreciate a few towels left out for me, but that's about all I need and expect. If someone were to make me basket hampers or set up an entire coffee bar, I'd feel quite uncomfortable, in all honesty. When I go to someone's house, I don't want to feel like my stay has forced them to put in lots of effort and money for me, or like I'm imposing. No hate - just sharing my opinion. Love your videos xx

    • @racheltalbott
      @racheltalbott  Před 7 lety +19

      I totally hear you, and I know some people who feel the same way. It's really about gauging who's coming to stay with you and adjusting. For me it's not an inconvenience, I genuinely enjoy doing it. I think if you go to someones house who enjoys doing things like this, you might not feel like a bother because you know it's who they are and it makes them happy to do it. If someone was forcing all of these ideas and it's not natural to them, it might seem a bit off & uncomfortable.=) Either way, I wanted to give a bunch of ideas so it made a full video, but even if one or two of these ideas works (maybe just towels, a charger & the wifi code) then thats what I was going for =) hehe Thanks for watching. =)xo

    So perfect! I know people who would think this is so over the top if they were a guest, but I would appreciate this SO much. you are definitely a lovely host!! I'd love to see you do a girls DIY spa day for a group of 3 or something if possible 😘

    • @racheltalbott
      @racheltalbott  Před 7 lety +6

      Yes.. I know a few people who would feel the same way. For those guests I don't go as overboard, as not to make them feel uncomfortable. I think a Spa girls day is a great idea. =) Thanks for watching

  • @Banyo__
    @Banyo__ Před 7 lety

    I was once treated by a most gracious friend to this type of experience, and I never forgot it. It's now standard practice for me to prepare baskets of goodies, and make everything super convenient for them, and to leave out food stuffs for the morning, and I even have a notebook for out of town guests that lists literally everything nearby and that we love and personally use, so that they don't have to keep asking or spend time googling forever. Every single person that has come through has been super appreciative. Even if someone thought it too much, I'd rather it too much, then too little. On the reverse, when I go see friends, before I leave, I always leave a nice thank you note for their hospitality and a gift card for dinner and a movie on me.

  • @rheag1673
    @rheag1673 Před 7 lety

    My mother in law is the one person I know who is very hospitable and does these types of gestures for her guests. From the very first time we stayed with her and each time after that, it was something she always did and each time it really made me feel special. I try to do it more for my guests too. I'm not the best and I'm sure need improvements here in there, so this video is really helpful!

    A few months ago my sisters came to stay at my apartment after a long time and i have a guest room for them. I got reminded of a similar video of yours where u had a guest basket in the toilet so I did something similar. I added a vase w flowers, snacks, juices, towels, razor & etc and they absolutely loved it! they were in awe. Thank you for the idea! 😍😍😍

  • @ericaleemynatt
    @ericaleemynatt Před 7 lety +1
