Mini bath sponges in a variety of colors are fun and great when there are no washcloths as was the case on my recent trip to Europe. You can get 4 mini sponges of varying colors at the Dollar Store / Dollar Tree. Put them in see through fabric gift bag for a fun and inexpensive gift. And you could add in a travel size bottle of your favorite shower gel or small empty bottles to fill with their own favorite.
That’s an awesome tip! I love it. Thanks!
