With all the deals you post, I’ve been getting little samples and trial sized stuff (from the beauty boxes). I purchased a jar at the thrift store and using the chalkboard labels you posted the other day, I made an inexpensive guest bathroom decoration.

Now I have a place to store all that stuff and guests won’t have to worry they forgot something! Thanks Collin and team!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

I have a very similiar jar of samples and mini hotel bottles in my guest bathroom. I LOVE the label idea though. That would make it more obvious what it’s there for… and I’m a Beauty and the Beast fan 🙂

This is genius! But my guests never leave as it is so I can’t do this. 😂 😂

I dont know how much you paid for that jar at the thrift store, but they have them in glass or plastic at the Dollar store, it would also be a cute hostess gift or get the plastic one and put some baby shampoo and baby powder, etc. In it..

Very cute and thoughtful. I hate having to ask for something I may have forgotten when visiting people.

This is awesome! Too bad we have a tiny Ny bathroom with pratically no counter space except for the sink lol

I do that too with all my samples from pinchme and onlinepanies send me in our cabin we rent. I put them in a little basket I decorated. You should see their happy faces when they see all these goodies. It is so much fun. Ha!

I found a hanging thing with little clear pockets at Goodwill a while back. I have it hanging on the closet door in our guest bedroom with all kinds of samples, etc. in it. I also framed our WiFi user name and password and have it in our guest room as well. I’ve gotten lots of onlinepliments on both!
