Quick Clean Up Tips for the Arrival of Unexpected Guests
For a quick clean-up when you have guests show up unexpectedly, keep a smaller sized laundry basket close at hand, pass it along to your spouse and have him go through the family room and kitchen collecting clutter such as shoes, magazines, clothes, books and toys while you momentarily detain your guests in the entryway. Have your spouse place the basket out of sight in a closet until your guests have left and the coast is clear.
Good Emergency Gift Ideas
If you have been caught without a gift to give a family member or friend you know the feeling of embarrassment that comes with the realization that you have forgotten something important. We are all guilty of forgetting a birthday or other special occasion and the best way to deal with an important occasion that has slipped your mind is to have an emergency gift supply. Include gifts that can be given to either a male or female adult family member or friend, such as picture frames, wine, candy, stationery, pen sets and candles. Don’t forget the kids. DIY craft sets make a great gift and be customized for either a boy or a girl. Keep an assortment of gift bags and cards in your supply so you are can package a gift a moment’s notice.
