If you’re a neat-freak chances are you have a no-shoes policy in your home. But, can you ask your guests to remove their shoes when they enter your home? The answer is yes, and here’s the polite way to do so.

Give Advanced Warning

When hosting guests, you want to make them feel comfortable, but if the first thing you ask them to do when they step into your home is to remove their shoes, your guests can quickly feel like a burden. Let your friends and family know before they visit you so they can remember to bring socks or slippers.

Set Up a Changing Station

Make sure you have a spot near the front door for guests to comfortably remove their shoes and a spot for storing the shoes.

Keep in Mind the Event

If you’re hosting something formal, your guests may feel apprehensive to take their shoes off, so consider having the event outside.

Be Gracious

If you didn’t think of having a no-shoe policy until one of your guests showed up with muddy shoes, asking them to take their shoes off is awkward if everyone else is wearing shoes. Try to frame your request like you are doing your friend a favor by getting rid of their dirty footwear.

There are so many different hacks and advice people give to become a better cook, but normally it stays within the realm of kitchen tools or techniques. But, there are some wackier things out there that are also super useful, so check them out and try them for yourself!

Hairdryer

Go into your bathroom, get out your hairdryer, and plug it into your kitchen. Why? So you can get the crispiest chicken skin of your life.

Flabby chicken skin is such a sad sight, and even if you blot it for days with a paper towel, it still can come out not so crispy. Instead, whip out your hairdryer to dry it out and you’ll see how crispy that skin will become.

Rubber Gloves

Besides keeping your hands dry when you wash dishes, rubber gloves are perfect for shucking corn and getting off all the silk! Instead of spending forever trying to get it out of your teeth, just throw on some rubber gloves and they’ll be none left.

Washing Machine

While this next one isn’t directly related to cooking, it’s in reference to hosting parties. Instead of cramming your fridge with drinks and sodas for guests, put ice into your washing machine and store your drinks in there! When the party is done, just run the machine and it’ll all drain out.

If you love to have people over your house, there are some items that you simply need to have in your home. Being a good host is more than just being kind and inviting, it’s having the right tools to make entertaining effortless and stressless. You don’t need many things that are fancy, but you do need some basics that are easy to acquire.

Here are the essentials any good host should have.

Teapot

Whether you’re having a quiet night in, a dinner party, or someone who just drops in, having a teapot is essential. It not only makes it easier than doing individual cups of tea, it looks much nicer and frees up more time for you to chat with your guests.

Wooden Serving Board

A good serving board can be the centerpiece of a table when you’re having a party, but also a great way to seamlessly throw something together quickly while still looking put together. You can use it for cheese and crackers, or even hot starters.

Pitcher

Having a pitcher handy is the perfect way to make large batch cocktails. This way no matter how many people you have over, you can make sure everyone has something in their cup without you having to constantly run to the kitchen.

Conversation

It’s always sad when your friends are drinking wine and having a great time at your house while you’re stuck in the kitchen getting the rest of the meal prepared. Instead, don’t isolate yourself from your guests and invite them into the kitchen! This will let you spend more time with them and help you enjoy the party you are throwing. You can enjoy each other’s company and be less stressed out over the food.

Helpful

It can be hard if you have to dress a salad, finish a sauce, and start cleaning up all by yourself. So, why wouldn’t you want a few extra hands to help you out? This not only makes your life easier, but it also lets your guests feel like they were involved in the cooking and will make everyone enjoy and appreciate the food even more!

Whether you’re staying at someone’s house for the weekend or going over for a big dinner, it’s always nice to bring them a special little something. If it’s someone you know well, it’s easy to customize something for them. However, if it’s someone new or just someone you don’t know well, finding a gift for them can be harder. Here is a list of great gifts that anyone would be happy to receive.

Serving Items

Whether it’s a nice spoon, a salad set, or a bowl, bringing a beautiful serving item is always welcome. Most likely, the people that you are with like to entertain, so something new to display is a thoughtful gift that will actually end up being used.

Something Local

If you are coming from out of the town, it’s always fun to give the person a taste of where you live by bringing them something local. Whether it be honey, wine, or a spice blend, go to a local store and find an item that will well represent where you come from.

Homemade

If you are looking to give something from the heart, making homemade jam is a great option! It’s also very easy to do and only requires fruits, a sweetener, and a jar.
