After taking a break all winter, we are gearing up to host on Airbnb again. We already have two bookings in March and those dates are coming up quiiiickly (yikes!). So we've been working hard on getting the house in shape for guests! Our list includes washing the windows, deep cleaning the appliances, scrubbing the walls, touching up paint, washing the sofa cushion covers, sealing the marble vanity tops, and things that we don't deal with on a regular basis. Plus, we're stocking up on household essentials and toiletries. My go-to for those kind of purchases? Public Goods! Have you heard of them? They carry high-quality household products at amazingly affordable prices, all with nicely designed packaging. Best of all, instead of having to lug the kids to Target, it all gets delivered right to my door.

I love that the bottles look like something you'd find in a high-end hotel. The design is so nice...simple and minimalist.

When hosting on Airbnb, you're going to provide toiletries no matter what. Going the extra mile is such an easy way to make your guests feel comfortable and cared for. For example, we always make sure to set out plenty of basics like toilet paper, so guests are never worried about running out (it's a pet peeve of mine, when places are stingy with the TP!). We also have a little basket with extra toothbrushes, floss, and tampons in case people forgot theirs. And for shampoo and conditioner, we always provide full size bottles, because I hate having to make a tiny travel bottle last for multiple days. I also look for products that are non toxic and paraben-free (and smell really good!). People actually mentioned this in our reviews last year, so I think it's worth spending a little extra on quality.

Plus to be honest, with Public Goods, springing for nicer toiletries is barely any more than the cheap stuff at the grocery store. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion...they're all only $4.50. Dish soap (with a lovely mandarin basil scent) is only $4.25. Eco-friendly walnut scrubber sponges are $3 for a pack of 4. So to me, it's a no-brainer to spend a few extra dollars for much better products.

Oh, and it's not just toiletries that Public Goods carries! They also have towels, candles, cleaning products, essential oils, vitamins, and even food...all at amazing prices. I'm especially excited about the food because the packaging is pretty (ha!). But really, that makes it perfect for stocking an Airbnb. We always provide a little welcome basket with coffee and treats for our guests. Last year, I'd run to Trader Joe's and get a few things there. But this year, I think Public Goods will be our new go-to. They have lots of options that look yummy: chocolate bars, popcorn, sweet potato chips, trail mix, chocolate almonds, candied pecans, and so on, all in smaller packages that are perfect for gifting. They also carry essentials like olive oil and condiments. We don't provide those, but if we did I would totally get them from Public Goods as well.

I know I keep talking about how perfect their products are for Airbnb, but we also use these products for ourselves! We've been really happy with everything we've tried...and did I mention that the prices are amazing?
