A Handy Basket for Your Guests

Give Them Access to All Those Little Necessities They Left at Home

By Donna Pilato, About.com

This week's tip was submitted by Claire.

When having a crowd over for a party, I place in the bathroom a small basket filled with things for the ladies to freshen up with in order to look their best all evening long. Some of these items are lipsticks, blushers, mascaras, hand cream, hair wax and mints. My friends always appreciate using the things they don't have in their handbags.

Thanks for the tip Claire!
