First visit - what makes you feel welcome?
Context: My girlfriend and I have been on many dates and spent time alone before but never at my home. Next weekend she plans to spend some time here!
I asked her preferences and am stocking her fave beverage. Linens clean. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner--check! I know I'm forgetting something obvious or brilliant. The goal is of course to make her feel right at home. What would you add?
---EDIT: Improvements Made from Comments! ---
- Master bedroom dusted and de-cobwebbed
- Master bathroom trash liner added
- Blanket laundered
- Bought her fave snacks and drinks
- Bought lip balm, kleenex
- Replaced "broken" guest bathroom soap dispenser.
- Dining room tablet centerpiece: succulent in a Halloween vase
- Because she doesn't like cut flowers. 😆
--- My own work ---
- Linens laundered
- Cleared out one drawer for her
- Both nightstands tidied top to bottom
- Bathroom drawers decluttered and organized
- Cleaned out under my bed. No monsters hiding there!
