Let’s face it. If caught unprepared, the thought of having unexpected Holiday guests can even rattle Martha Stewart’s biscuits. Not having enough food or space can really cast a shadow on an otherwise festive time. And let’s not forget the awkwardness of not having a gift for an unexpected Holiday guest during the lavish gift exchange you planned for the rest of your party. It can be a major bummer. Here are a few cheap and easy must-haves that can assist you in your plight of having unexpected Holiday Guests.
1. Folding Chairs & Large Pillows: Folding chairs are easy-to-store items that you can whip out the moment your unexpected holiday guests ring your doorbell. If you run out of seats, the pillows are fun and comfortable for toddlers and teens.
2. Lots & Lots of Popcorn: Hopefully, you have been taking advantage of all the great discounts available at Popcornopolis. If your family has already ravished your stash, buy multiple packs of the microwavable kind to have on standby. These are quick and easy to make and can be mixed with raisins, chocolate (M&M’s), pecans, pretzels, nuts and/or anything else you have in your pantry. Your unexpected Holiday guests will be impressed by your DIY appetizer-making skills.
3. Restaurant.com Gift Certificates: We love this idea because you can hold off on purchasing these until your unexpected Holiday guests actually arrive. You can easily sneak back into your home office, purchase the certificate of your choice, print out and stick in an envelope. It’s easy gift-giving.
4. Picture Frames: Having several pre-wrapped picture frames are a quick and easy solution for any unexpected Holiday guests.
5. Attitude: You have got to remember that your unexpected Holiday guests are there to see you and your family. Remind yourself that this is the time of year we dedicate to love and sharing. Your unexpected Holiday guests will have fun if you are having fun.
Cheers.
