[quote=Anonymous]It's really nice that you're asking--you sound like a very thoughtful host. I think anything you offer is wonderful, but if it were my house I'd be thinking about the following things.

Toiletry basket/bin (in bathroom closet if you have one):
Deodorant
Body wash
Shampoo/conditioner
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Floss
Pimple patches
Hair ties (neutral/unisex ones)

First aid basket/bin (in bathroom closet if you have one):
Bandaids
Moleskin
Athletic wrap tape
Instant cold pack/ice pack
Ibuprofen
Thermometer

Cozy blanket at foot of bed

Laundry bags (mesh) if they're long enough to do laundry. Card up in laundry room with instructions for doing a load.

Area to spread out gear if wet/sweaty gear is an issue. Ikea has wall racks that fold out for that purpose and then fold flat when not in use.

USB outlets and/or chargers (but you run the risk of the chargers walking away)

Could also do one of the trays for wireless charging

Outlets labeled

Nightlight on way to bathroom

Clear communication about any house rules, like no food in bedrooms and quiet hours. Let them know how they should leave the room when they go, might be good to have this on a card or in a binder somewhere (I'm thinking something like: take sheets and pillowcases off bed and re-make with comforter. Sweep room. Empty room trashcan.)

Clear guidelines on what food they can have: Fruit basket, snack bin in pantry, this shelf in the fridge. Include some high protein options.
