We do a grab bag (or Naughty Santa) for the adults with my family

 

this year I have been buying Holiday Kitchen towels (usually on clearance)

 

I have Christmas, Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day,  Easter, Summer (hummingbirds)

 

 I plan on getting: Halloween and Thanksgiving

 

I think this will be good

what do you think?

@Mary BaileyI think that is a great idea. Fun, but actually useful.

Great idea. I’ve done this for bridal showers for family members, which prompted friends to do the same. The towels can be used in half-baths for hand towels, too.

Send them my way if recipients don't want them.

I love that idea.  I once saw a gift given that was napkins for various holidays.

@Mary Bailey @I think it is a great idea.For years I have given seasonal tea towels instead of expensive cards.I like useful things rather than cards which are expensive and end up in the trash.

I love this idea, but then I have a terrible kitchen towel addiction, I have just boxes full, all arranged by season/holiday/color, for when I change my kitchen over each season. 

 

I'm getting to the stage where I appreciate practical things more than ever. I don't need more stuff that I can't use daily, or use up (like food, or other consumable things). I don't need more things that just sit around or end up in a closet or drawer unused.

 

I'd be thrilled with this gift, and I'd use it!

@Mominohio @I have the same towel addiction. I have a cupboard just for all of my seasonal towels and it is FULL.

@Mary Bailey   I have done this for a bridal shower. I have added dish soaps from William Sonoma and Stonewall.  I put everything in a fabric covered storage box from HomeGoods.
