The Fourth of July is typically a very busy holiday for Airbnbs and vacation rentals. Often guests have planned their stay well in advance. They are looking forward to celebrating in your special space. It’s the perfect time to leave them a unique welcome basket they will always remember you for. Make it pretty and they will likely snap a photo and tag your property on Instagram too!

Here are 4 ideas for your 4^th of July Airbnb welcome basket:

1. American flags

Leave several small American flags for your guests. They can use them if they are attending a local parade or event. If they forgot anything festive to wear on the holiday, they will greatly appreciate a small accent of red, white and blue! The flags will also make your kitchen table or breakfast bar look appropriately patriotic. You can find small, inexpensive flags at any hardware or grocery store this time of year. You can also order them online in bulk.

2. A great barbecue sauce

What would the Fourth of July be without a great barbecue? If your Airbnb has an outdoor space and grill, a gift of barbecue sauce is perfect. And even if you don’t have a grill for guests, this seasonally appropriate condiment will be appreciated. Choose a locally made sauce if you can. Your guests will love your thoughtfulness!

3. Ingredients for homemade lemonade

There’s nothing better than a glass of homemade lemonade on a hot summer day. It’s the classic beverage for the Fourth of July, so why not leave your guests a few lemons, a citrus juicer, sugar or local honey, and a recipe? This simple, inexpensive addition to your welcome basket will make your space look bright and beautiful. If your Airbnb is frequented by foodies, throw in some extras to make gourmet lemonade. Add sprigs of fresh, local lavender and mint, summer strawberries and sparkling water or a small bottle of vodka for a boozy twist on the classic. Take your gift to the next level with a few inexpensive and festive red, white and blue straws or paper cups. Be sure to have a pitcher or drink jug on hand in your kitchen to complete this guest amenity.

4. Makeup remover wipes

With all of the parades, pools, barbecues, sweet drinks and activities on the Fourth of July, your guests will appreciate a quick and convenient way to clean up. Include a generous stack of makeup remover wipes to take care of their summer skin. Makeup remover wipes are great for removing makeup at the end of the day, and also sand, sunscreen, and face paint. They are also helpful for cleaning up that delicious barbecue sauce! Your guests will love the convenience of our individually wrapped makeup wipes. The small grab and go envelopes fit easily in a purse, beach bag, pocket or day bag. Our makeup remover wipes are always in stock and Accent Amenities offers free shipping on all makeup remover wipes orders.
