We’ve got a twist on holiday hosting that we’re excited to share! 

As you know, hosting family and friends for the holidays is all about creating a welcoming and memorable experience. From delicious meals to cozy accommodations, the little touches make all the difference. 

One unique way to stand out as the “hostess with the mostest” is by offering thoughtful dental care gifts to your guests, especially those staying overnight. After all, think about how often you’ve forgotten your toothbrush on vacation or a business trip. 

Your teeth should not be contestants in any ugly holiday sweater contests! 

To that end, and since everyone appreciates a fresh, confident smile—especially during the season of endless photos and indulgent feasts — here are the dental gifts we think every host should have on hand… 

Why Dental Care Gifts Are a Perfect Hosting Touch

  1. Practical and Thoughtful
    After a festive dinner or late-night hot cocoa, guests will love having quality dental essentials at their fingertips. It’s a practical way to show you care about their comfort and well-being.
  2. Ideal for Holiday Guests
    Whether guests have forgotten to pack their toothbrushes (we’ve all been there!) or could use a little freshening up, dental care gifts are both helpful and hygienic.
  3. A Luxurious Touch
    Offering premium dental products like high-quality toothbrushes, if your budget allows, further elevates your hosting game and leaves a lasting impression.

What to Include in a Guest-Friendly Dental Care Basket

You needn’t break the bank to include a smile-friendly item or two for your guests. Lots of people keep extra toothbrushes on hand, and those will do in a pinch. For some added dazzle, think about including any of the following… 

  • Standard or Electric Toothbrushes: Mini travel versions or stylish designs add a luxurious and functional touch to any bathroom setup. If your guests include children, you might shop for kid-themed toothbrushes, especially if you know their favorite characters or colors. 
  • Travel-Sized Oral Care Essentials: Include toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash in festive packaging for added holiday charm. Toothbrush holders or small pouches for their dental kit make the gesture even more special.  

How to Present Your Gift

Create a “Holiday Refresh Basket” in the guest bathroom or bedroom. Arrange the items in a decorative container with festive wrapping or ribbons. Add a handwritten note wishing them a bright and joyful holiday season and thanking them for celebrating the season with you.
