Towels make the perfect gift. Everyone uses them; they’re suited to both men and women if you pick a neutral colour; and you can never have enough of them. So, there’s no wonder you’ve got your heart set on towels as a convenient yet thoughtful gift for somebody special that you know.

It’s not, then, a question of whether or not to buy a towel as gift; it’s more a question of how many towels are deemed appropriate to buy. In this post, we’ve outlined the official guidebook on how many towels to buy for each occasion, with a little help from the experts at The Monogram Shop.

Birthdays

Got a birthday coming up? A nice, high-quality towel is an awesome gift, no matter who the person is. For work colleagues and acquaintances, one Egyptian cotton towel should suffice – especially if you choose to get it monogrammed! A personal touch like monogramming a towel can really stand out and show your thoughtfulness.

If you’re buying a birthday gift for a close friend or partner, then two high quality towels is usually the safest option.

Weddings

Towels make awesome weddings gifts. Gift-buying for weddings has become a thoroughly modern and practical operation, with Gofundme-like websites designed to get newlyweds the things they need and avoid doubling up on certain items… but there’s nothing wrong with doing it the old fashioned way and buying a set of towels. After all, you can really never have enough towels!

A set of four towels is the way to go when buying them as a wedding gift. This is enough for the newlyweds themselves, as well as guests, or a future family if that’s something they’re planning on.

Housewarming gifts

Housewarming gifts are always centred around the home itself. You’re not going to go out and buy tickets to Bruce Springsteen as a housewarming gift, for example. Towels are one of the best gifts you can buy for a housewarming present.

Now, the answer to how many towels you should buy as a housewarming gift depends on how many people are living in the house. If your friend has bought their first home on their own, then a set of two should be fine. For couples and families, consider a set of four, or one for every family member.
