bh we moved in to a new house a few weeks ago and finally have a proper guest room with its own bathroom. I would like to put a basket in teh bathroom with essentials that people often need and might have forgotten. I've come up with following so far please give me more ideas:
toothbrush
toothpaste
soap/shampoo
lens solution
lens case
nail clipper
pads
cotton balls/qtips

that is such a nice idea!
I ALWAYS forget mouthwash.
Tampons/Pads is really thoughtful also.

oh, and speaking of guest bedrooms,nice things to have for guests, I always bring a clock with me bc It drives me crazy when rooms don't have clocks. and we also started bringing a shabbos lamp.

My MIL has bedika cloths in her guest bathroom, so you wouldn't be the first!

A full-length mirror is always nice, and a garbage can in the bathroom and bedroom are helpful too (I've been told that many guest bathrooms/bedrooms don't have garbage cans). A box of tissues and hand soap are also good things to have.

Nope not weird at all. Although, I would put them in a cabinet and not out where they would be in plain sight if children were there. Other items (didn't read all respnses so I don't know if these were already suggested):
mouthwash
disposable razors/shaving cream
dental floss
pads/tampons
spray deodorant
toothbrush/toothpaste
tissues
waterbottles
sheital head
rain poncho/hood for sheital
Advil/tylenol

We recently stayed somewhere and it started pouring unexpectedly. I was so grateful when she offered us ponchos and rain bonnets. It was so helpful.
Also, extra pairs of stockings.

I also have a guest room. I find the initial setup easy. But after words keeping it stocked many times falls to the wayside.

I also find a warm baby blanket is appreciated to have down there for people traveling with kids.

If couples with children are coming, then diapers, wipes & pacifiers
Pony tail holders

Safety pins! Sounds random, but believe me, very needed, for shells, and other uses. Also some general topical medicine like Neosporin or something. And a nicely scented spray for the bathroom. I also love when I go somewhere and they have water bottles and some cups as well. Maybe clear nail polish for last minute runs in tights/ hose.

Once in sem our host put hand towels and water bottles in the room. It was so thoughtful of her. Plus I ALWAYS need water
Provide towels for showering
Also in sem I liked hosts who asked us to strip the linen after our stay bc it means they change the linn!
I second the shaitel head. And tichel would be nice.

Also make sure there is a washing cup.

Oh also sometimes I forget to bring extra plastic bags to put dirty laundry in (I don't want to stuff it in the suitcase with everything else) so maybe have some extra plastic bags ( regular shopping ones)

hand sanitizer.
a tiny sewing kit, in case they rip something, they won't have to bother you for that.
also a bottle of water or two.
