Question about guest welcome baskets

I always put a full size bar of soap in the guest bathroom, thinking it was nice. My cousin visited from Chicago and said it felt like a hotel, not a home. Do you think small, personal touches are better than the usual stuff?

Disagree, a nice bar of soap is a solid move. Your cousin might just be used to different stuff. What did she expect instead?

Yeah, my buddy had a similar thing happen... he put those little hotel shampoos in his guest shower. His sister-in-law teased him for weeks, said it felt like a road trip motel. I get what @jamierodriguez is saying, but maybe it's about what the guest knows you picked just for them, like their favorite snack or a local treat.
