‘Tis the season to be jolly, but you can’t muster the energy to belt out the “Fa la la la la la la la” when you’re starting to feel like a one-woman circus. The holidays are not always a picturesque and ideal Norman Rockwell moment. There is an Anne Taintor image that perfectly depicts how we all felt during the holidays some time or another that states, “She was one plum pudding away from a Yuletide meltdown.” That’s most likely because of the juggling act of a varying amount of roles and tasks, including the shopping, decorating, attending seasonal festivities, cooking, and getting your home guest-ready. It is true that there is honestly nothing more chaotic yet joyous at the same time when it comes to the holiday season.
Everyone needs the basic household staples to keep their home running like a happy, healthy, well-oiled machine. Without them, the world might truly fall apart! That’s why having plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and facial tissues on-hand while you entertain guests at home is a must! You can stock up and save on your tried and true household essentials at Walmart from trusted brands like Kleenex, Scott, Viva, and Cottonelle for the holiday season.
Kleenex should be on standby in various places of the home for the inevitable: the sneezes and sniffles. What I like the most about Kleenex is that their tissues are ideal for people who have sensitive skin, such as myself, because they’re superbly soft.
My favorite Kleenex product? The Kleenex Perfect Fit! These tissues are housed in a cylinder case that fits perfectly anywhere, whether it is a guest bathroom, side table, or nightstand. The options are endless, plus the modern designs make it easy to blend with your decor.
Products like the Viva Paper Towels are a must-have in my cleaning arsenal. For this season, I opted for their Winter Signature Designs for a festive look. These paper towels ensure that my home gets a deep clean, inside and out! They can virtually tackle anything, whether the cleaning tasks are minor or downright laboring. The cloth-like texture of these paper towels are good for cleaning everything, whether it is stainless steel appliances, glassware, or cast iron skillets.
One surefire way of keeping the home fresh and cleaning with vinegar. It’s all-natural, cheap, and gets the job done. It’s just as effective as the cleaners that can be bought at the store! The only drawback is that the smell can be overwhelming, but that’s where essential oils come into play. They can easily mask the smell of vinegar while naturally deodorizing anything I clean, plus I don’t have to concern myself with neurotoxins, sensitizers, allergens, and phthalates that are typically found in store-bought cleaners. One of my go-to essential oils for cleaning is lemon. It has purification qualities that make it ideal for multi-purpose cleaning chores.
The combination of vinegar and lemon essential oil works harmoniously in deep cleaning the home. While this homemade natural multi-purpose cleaner is a powerhouse on its own, it’s a force to be reckoned with when you’re wiping everything down with Viva Paper Towels! In addition to being a cleaning must-have for making your home sparkly and clean for guests, these paper towels are also perfect for those inevitable messes that can occur.
Don’t want to use your “good” hand towels just for them to end up the counter or worse…the floor? Disposable guest towels like the Kleenex Hand Towels are the perfect sanitary solution to this dilemma.
These fresh and clean disposable hand towels not only promote good hygiene and health, but they easily fit on counter space as well as towel racks for convenience.
I’m a thrifty shopper at heart, but there are two things in life that I will not skimp on: quality food and toilet paper. One brand that I buy again and again is no other than Cottonelle. Their toilet paper, such as the Cottonelle 12 Double Roll Ultra, is strong and durable, yet soft and gentle. Versus other rival toilet paper brands, I truly believe that Cottonelle is the best contender!
There is nothing worse than not being prepared before guests start arriving. Maybe there has been a time or another where you realized that you didn’t have extra toilet paper as houseguests start arriving or other essentials like Kleenex or paper towels. It happens to the best of us since we all have had our oops moment at one time or another. That’s why I recommend stocking up and saving on basic essentials for a guest-ready home. You can purchase these basic essentials by simply heading to Walmart and Walmart.com.
The perks of shopping for these everyday household staples online include availability, home delivery, same day shipping, subscription so you never run out, saving room during your store trip by avoiding lugging bulky products from the store to home. Not only does this save the frustration of weaving through the crowds, but you’re able to save time, gas, and money anywhere, anytime. To save even more money, you can have some of the items shipped to your local Walmart for pick-up, deterring the need to pay for shipping and handling!

That tissue box is so cute! I definitely need to grab a few of those this holiday season! Love it
We don’t host holiday parties at our home, but, where we’re going, I could recommend the hostess read this.
That’a a stylish way to display tissues. Ohhh, I love the Kleenex hand towels for having guests over.
all great tips! I always like to prepare and do some extra things when guest comes, makes them feel truly welcome
This has come at a great time – we are away for Christmas and are having our Christmas lunch next Saturday and I gotta get my butt into gear!
We always have Kleenex tissues in my house, I would love to find those cute perfect fit boxes. I will look for them next time!

love those handtowels! I’d have to turn the box the other way, though, because my husband would throw a fit! 🙂 I am in love with the round tissue box, too!
I like the idea of the paper hand towels especially this time of year! I didn’t know they had that product.

I have to be stocked up with paper plates and napkins. I like to have them available so when guest come they can enjoy treats without having to do dishes. I am a huge fan of ibotta.
You can never have enough toilet paper or tissues. The more people you have over, the more things get used. I love the idea of the disposable paper towels. Keeps me from having to do more laundry.
