INSIDE: How to make a pretty but easy DIY hostess cleaning gift basket. Free printable hostess gift tags.
How do you entertain guests? I grew up with a [frazzled] mother who would go all out when throwing any kind of gathering. It was just her nature to go above and beyond cleaning, decorating and cooking… and the apple has proven to not fall too far from that tree! Whereas my sister, who grew up in the exact same environment, will find herself grocery shopping an hour before guests arrive. Go figure!
Regardless of whether you plan for days or it’s a last-minute event, one thing holds true: Hosting a gathering means cleaning. Hiding the clutter, fluffing the pillows, pulling out the nice china is all part of making the home a happy environment for guests. Hosting folks can be a lot of work!
Scrub away the stress for the host with a DIY hostess cleaning gift basket (filled with party-necessary cleaning products like Windex® Original Glass Cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles® Fantastik® and Pledge®) when it’s your turn to be entertained at a friend’s home… and ensure yourself an invite back!

Windex® Original Glass Cleaner starts working on dirt and grime even before you wipe. It’s great for cleaning glass, appliances, sealed granite countertops and more.
Pledge® Orange Clean gives furniture a great shine and is an easy and fast way to clean and condition wood furniture.

I like this basket! Cute 🙂 I am the grocery shopping an hour before kind of gal. Although I stress about it for days before. Go figure??
Our house could always use a little bit more help with cleaning…perhaps this should be a gift to my 8-year-old from Santa. Would that be too mean? LOL Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
