I live in a (normally) hot country, and so my house has no heating (think thick stone walls and tile floors rather than carpets and radiators.
It's not cold here in winter, but it does get chilly at night and first thing in the morning.
My dad and his partner are coming to stay for a week, and they travel light – probably hand luggage only.
I was thinking about getting them some cosy slippers to have waiting here so they don't get cold feet walking to the bathroom in the morning (I LIVE in my L.L Beans in the winter).
But I've been trying to stop unnecessary spending and it would be a shame to buy 2 pairs of slippers for only one week's use, so the thought occurred to me that they could be guest slippers - here for any of my buddies or family who want to pop them on while they're visiting and keep their feet warm.
And THEN the thought occurred to me that that might be kind of gross –what if people had sweaty feet?
My friends are split in opinions. Some say it's totally disgusting. Others say it's no grosser than wearing the slippers they give you at a spa, and people can keep their socks on.
So I thought I'd ask here: WDYT?
Guest slippers: nice way to take care of people, or vom-inducing idea?
