I also have a little basket in each bathroom with sewing kits, emery boards, shower caps (all of these I get from my travels) plus I bought a big box of "La Fresh travel-lite" individually wrapped makeup remover towelettes online (which I highly recommend- I have lost fewer towels and facecloths to makeup once I started providing these), etc.I provide snacks for people when they arrive, e.g. a couple of granola bars and a couple of bags of salty snacks like pretzels- I go to Costco and see what they have that's individually packaged, has an extended sell-by date (some of the chips have to get used up quicker than I would use them) and then look for something that runs less that 45 cents each.
