We were booking a mid-winter weekend trip with the kids, I noticed that the hotel offered an “Enhancement – great offers and additional activities you can add to your hotel booking”. Some items in the Kid’s Hotel welcome bag bundle included a stuffed animal, beach towel, candy, a gift card for the arcade, and other hotel-branded snacks for a whopping $60 per kid.
This got me thinking (Being the extra-mile mom that I am), my kids would love this! Of course, I could do something more age-appropriate for my kids and are items that we can use as summer is approaching.
So to Amazon, I go…
I did look up a few things, towels, bags, etc. and then I thought about what I have at home. Example: beach towel. Do we really need a special beach towel or can I save $15 per towel and just grab one from home? You betcha, I grabbed one from home.
So here is what I put together for each of my kids’ hotel welcome bags.
Schoolager / Five year old
Aurora® Adorable Mini Flopsie™ Maxamoose™ Stuffed Animal
Poncho Towels by Lulumoon
Waterproof Bag – At first glance it is sturdy and I like the adjustable straps (I wanted to make one, but I ran out of time.)
Swim Goggles (I got a set of two on sale last year that have not been used yet. Here they are on Amazon.)
Stainless Steel water bottle (from home)
Toddler
Aurora® Adorable Mini Flopsie™ Maxamoose™ Stuffed Animal
Kids Hotel Welcome Bag in the End
This may not be super flashy and extravagant, but hopefully, to my kids it is magical. Ultimately this is a gift from Momma’s heart to kick off a fun weekend that we can reuse this summer during the camping season!
