Raise your hand if people like to randomly show up at your doorstep for surprise visits!!!
I can't be the only one with friends showing up out of the blue expecting a few days of fun with there bestie. As much as I love company & entertaining, the obsessive planner inside of me kinda has a panic attack every time this happens. Being the queen of entertaining takes a tad bit of stocking up & legit meal/activity planning. I know the internet makes my extravagant dinner parties look like something I snapped my fingers & whipped up in a few minutes, but honestly a lot of tears and sweat went into those events, so surprises such as my long lost bestie expecting Instagramable fun kinda throws things off a bit. 
That's why I started creating Guest Bathroom Baskets a few years back! My surprise guest might have to wait a few hours for all the fabulous food and activities to be organized by yours truly, but atleast the guest bathroom is fully stocked and ready to go! One less thing I have to panic about ;-)
Being someone who has traveled a lot in her life, there is nothing worse than making that quest to your dream destination & having to search for an open store because you forgot a few toiletries at home. That's why I make sure to stock the most common toiletry items in the basket for my guest to use as they please. The basket is big enough to store these items, yet small enough to stick in a closet when not being used. I want my guest to feel comfy and like they are in there very own home when visiting & this little basket definetly adds that little touch of homey comfort!
Because I love you all so much I included this cute little printable at the bottom of the post for you to download & print out so you can stock your bathroom for your surprise guest! The best part is all of these items can be found dirt cheap, so making a guest bathroom basket will only cost you a few bucks! I bet you even have half the list sitting in your bathroom right now. I know I always have a few spares of things laying around! Why not put those items to good use?
As you can see I gave toilet paper it's very own line on my list! As silly as toilet paper might sound, I swear it's the number one thing you never want to run out of!!!!!! Nothing worse than not having toilet paper in your own home, so imagine how your guest would feel when they reach down to the roll only to realize every last square has been used!!! This guest might be your bestie, but I guarantee they will be slightly humiliated if they have to send you a text asking you to send up a roll. This is the very moment your guest will be thanking the universe for your handy dandy Guest Bathroom Basket since a spare roll is sitting inside of it!
is what is what we stock our house with. I pick Quilted Northern® because it is a trusted 100-year-old brand. A brand around that long has to be good or else the brand would of died long ago! 100 years is a very long time! Quilted Northern®Ultra Soft & Strong® with Cleanstretch mega pack offers you the opportunity to keep your home fully stocked and organized at all times so that you’re always ready for that unexpected bestie. Mega is also a 4X bigger roll (*than their regular rolls) so you’re not worried about refilling the roll! The best bathroom experiences are the ones you don't remember. Quilted Northern® is designed so you can forget your bathroom experience.
You can pick up the 9 pack Mega Roll of Quilted Northern® Ultra Soft & Strong® at Walmart. Just look for the asle sign that says toilet paper, in the back of the store here in Jamestown NY.

It's important to make our guests feel at home and it would be nice to arrange a basket for them with all their possible needs. This is an awesome list and thanks for the printable! 8/15/2016 09:32:35 pm
I dont host a ton of guests in my home. I do love the guest basket idea. I might have to plan something like this next time I know someone is coming to visit.

I want to have a guest bathroom basket so my guests will feel more comfortable. That printable is so nice. 8/18/2016 05:58:34 pm
I wish I had a guest bathroom that I could stock like this one. It would make mornings much less hectic in our home. 8/16/2016 12:14:59 am
ooooh!! I LOOVE the printable! We do not have a lot of quest over (unless you count my MIL...). 8/16/2016 02:43:45 am
I've never thought about making these for guests. Great idea!

Such a great idea! So welcoming to someone too. It's always awkward when you're staying somewhere and don't know where anything is, this makes it 10x easier to feel welcomed and comfortable :) xo 8/16/2016 09:24:36 am
I always try to go the extra mile in making my guests feel comfortable in my home. I always put together a bathroom basket and a basket on the nightstand filled with bottled water, mints, etc. And I always stock up on toilet tissue. 8/16/2016 10:13:19 am
love having a set of toiletries out when my guests come. just saves them having to ask. 8/16/2016 11:53:39 am
I mostly host family members at home, but I still try and provide them with the items they need. Having a checklist will really help ensure I am always prepared.

This Is A AWESOME List You Thought Of Things I Haven't Thought Of GEEZE Thank You I Printed It Out!! This is the best thing! When we got married the wedding planner suggested I assign this task to a friend and I pass on that advice to everyone I know who gets married. Her list was even more detailed to include safety pins, sewing kit, deodorant, etc. I still have basket my SIL made in the guest bath and it has saved even me more times than I can count. I make a point to check the basket against the list when guests are expected so I know they will be comfy and have everything they need. 8/16/2016 12:52:47 pm
Keeping the guest bathroom well-stocked is so important. This is a great checklist of some essentials to always have on hand. Thanks for sharing the printable.

This is a great checklist. You don't want to forget something and make your guests feel awkward. You always want your guests to feel at home. 8/16/2016 03:33:35 pm
That is a really great checklist for the guest bathroom. I always love going to my sisters because she always makes fun baskets like this for each of us. I'm going to print this list out for myself.

I have never heard of a guest bathroom check list but I can see the importance of it. You don't want your guest to be without because that can be embarrassing.

Your little girl is looking like a big girl now! :) The printable for the bathroom is a cool idea. 8/16/2016 07:57:24 pm
What a handy printable! I don't have a guest bath but I know someone who could use this! 8/16/2016 08:36:03 pm
Great idea! I don't have guests ever - but good things to have on hand for yours. I bet they really appreciate it!

It's so nice to have essentials for your guests. That way you aren't embarrassed by not having something. 8/16/2016 09:13:23 pm
We don't host a ton of guests any more. I like the idea of using a basket, it keeps everything all together and easy to refill. 8/16/2016 09:37:21 pm
These are such great tips! I'm going to print it out now :)

This basket is such a good idea! I know that I would love to have one waiting for me at someone;s house! 8/16/2016 10:22:54 pm
We do have guests coming over occasionally and I make sure I am always prepared for those surprise visits. Thanks for the checklist. I also have those items in stock. I guess I just have to get a pretty little basket to put them in. BTW, Quilted Northern has always been our choice brand for TP. 8/16/2016 10:24:52 pm
This is a cute idea, I would likely have some baked good waiting before I thought to create a guest bathroom basket.

Okay, I am going to add a basket to our guest bath! I love that whole concept. Printing out the list now! 8/17/2016 12:19:18 am
Every time I head to the store there is always something in the bathroom that I need and always forget. This printable would really help me to remember. 8/17/2016 12:28:10 am
Thank you for the exhaustive list. I am expecting a guest in 2 weeks and will definitely use this. 8/17/2016 01:20:05 am
This is great! We also have a checklist in the house. My family always comes to visit to I have to keep track of what is missing and what we have in stock for the guest bathroom!

Yes we do have a basket of goodies in the bathroom. Most people are surprised it has things they forgot or never thought to bring with them. Quilted Northern Ultra Strong - Ultra Soft is stocked up in our bathrooms! Woo-hoo! 8/17/2016 08:37:08 am
What a great way to make your guest feel welcome. I like that you have this easy checklist so nothing is left out. 8/17/2016 09:24:36 am
This is such a great idea that I will be incorporating (although I'll have to stash my basket under the sink so the baby doesn't mess with it) but it is the only place for guests to look for something when they need it! 8/17/2016 10:09:12 am
What a great way to make guests welcome, the guest bathroom basket is great.

That's a lovely guest basket. I think it's great that you have all the essentials covered, it will definitely make them feel at home! 8/17/2016 11:06:03 am
What a great idea. My house has 4 bathrooms and I need to remember to keep stuff in all of them. 8/17/2016 11:14:24 am
I enjoy using baskets around the house. I need to implement this idea in my second bathroom. 8/17/2016 11:31:38 am
This is a great checklist! I think having a little basket like this to help make sure guests have everything the need is perfect. 8/17/2016 12:29:13 pm

This is the perfect guest bathroom basket. We have lots of guests over the summer time and they seem to always to have forgotten something. This way they will be covered just in case. 8/17/2016 10:24:20 pm
I actually keep a basket like this one in our master bathroom as well. It's also perfect for when guests come to visit. 8/18/2016 12:47:36 am
I love the posh look of your bathroom! A basket of essentials for guests is a great idea, you have everything covered -- the list will come in handy next time we have overnight guests. 8/18/2016 08:37:55 am
This is a great way to welcome a guest and I will try it for sure! Awesome! 8/18/2016 12:45:17 pm
I like this idea, and I can use the printable to prepare everything needed to put on the basket. I will have a guest come in a few months from now, so your idea is a great help. Thank you for sharing this. 8/18/2016 04:54:25 pm
A guest bathroom basket is such a fun idea. I love it. Our next BIG family get together with overnight guests at our house is our daughter's graduation weekend. I'm borrowing your idea for out guests. 8/18/2016 08:49:51 pm
I do this as well! This is such a fun idea. I like to make my guests feel comfortable and at home.

I haven't tried this kind of Quilted northern before. I don't entertain a lot, but the idea of this basket is really nice to keep in the back of my head. I used to have people randomly show up a lot - I had to put a stop to that after baby number 2 came along though :-) I love the idea of a guest bathroom basket! I like to lay out special little items for friends and family when they visit, a basket is a perfect idea.
