1. Have a Few Extra Blankets on Hand

Some people like being chilly, while others prefer to be snuggled up in the comfort of soft fabric. If you have people who will be staying over in your place, offer a few extra blankets just in case they get a little cold when nighttime settles in. Consider offering a range of blankets, from comforters to quilts, so your guests can choose the blanket that best meets their needs.

2. Offer Candles to Set the Mood

Candles are great for ambient lighting, but they can also give off the kind of scents that excite the olfactory glands. Since fall is in the air, consider offering your guests candles that are infused with pumpkin and apple essences to truly capture the feelings of this autumn season.

3. Make a Basket of Welcome Snacks

Weary travelers can get hungry at all times of the day and night, but your guests may not feel comfortable rummaging around your kitchen in the wee hours of the morning. Put a stop to their hunger pangs by offering a sack of snacks that don't need to be refrigerated. Roasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and homemade granola bars fit perfectly inside welcome baskets. Be sure to include a bottle or two of water so your guests can quench their thirst without leaving the room if they need a drink.

4. Offer Advice

Instead of asking your guests to be at your beck and call while you're busy trying to live your life and coordinate things for your guests, let them do some things on their own. Create a list of possible attractions they might want to see or restaurants that might be up their alley, then leave some time for them to explore the city on their own.
