Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have learned so much from your column. I’d like to share a goody that house guests and overnight guests comment on with oohs and aahs.

I put a chocolate mint on each bed pillow every night. Guests love this. Thanks again for sharing. Carol J. Withrow, Elizabethtown, Ky.

Just like many hotels! Who doesn’t like a little surprise! - Heloise

Dear Heloise: In our guest room, along with fresh flowers, we put a pen and postcards of local interest. Don’t forget the postage stamp. It is always an appreciated touch. - Sam & Evelyn Sylvester, San Antonio

Thanks for writing. We have received some wonderful suggestions from our loyal readers on ways to make a guest in your home feel more comfortable.

Thanks to everyone who sent in a suggestion. - Heloise
