Mrs Gusto’s Tips

Elevate your hosting game: print out our Morning Beverage Door Hanger from the template so your guests can wake up to their favourite coffee or tea, no guesswork required!

If you are hosting guests from out of town (especially from different time zones), consider putting out a small treat in the morning—like freshly baked choc chip or oat cookies. It’s a thoughtful touch that pairs perfectly with coffee and can be a real comfort to guests who might feel hungry at odd hours due to jet lag. A simple gesture that leaves a lasting impression!

A tray of tea or coffee with a slice of hot buttered brioche at the door is a simple but much-loved touch.

Many guests—especially the guys—love to add a generous helping of sauce to their breakfast. Whether it’s hot sauce, barbecue sauce, ketchup, relish and/or chutney, having a selection of condiments on the table lets everyone customise their plate just how they like it. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference!

Set up a simple tea and coffee station in your kitchen or dining/bar area so guests can help themselves while waiting for breakfast. Include individually wrapped tea bags in a variety of flavours, instant coffee sachets, sugar, and milk portions. A stylish flask of hot water keeps things warm and inviting. Don’t forget the cups—and maybe a few breakfast bars for early risers or snackers. Just be sure to top everything up regularly—you’ll be surprised how often guests help themselves to a hot drink!
