In the age of demanding work days which extend into all hours of the weeknight, the weekend escape has become sacrosanct––a time to decompress and make memories with family and friends. This is why mastering the art of being the perfect host and guest has become more important than ever. Both roles come with their own responsibilities, but both share a common theme–making the lives of those you host, or those who are hosting, easier and more pleasurable.
With that in mind, when opening your home, we recommend stocking guest bedrooms and baths with unexpected delights and items that your visitors may not have thought to pack (or simply forgot) for themselves, like a sustainably-made beechwood toothbrush or an ultra-luxe bubble bath by way of Paris.
And for those arriving for the weekend, we cannot underscore the importance of a thoughtful and indulgent gift for your host(s) such as chic, low-smoke incense, an invigorating body-care set, or a tin of Brazilian bath salts housed in a keepsake tin.
Here, 16 VIOLET CODE APPROVED suggestions to firmly establish yourself as the consummate host and guest.
