Tips for Beautiful Gift Wrapping

Special touches make towel presents shine no matter the wrapping style:

Complement Their Bath Design

If gifting to someone you know, incorporate hues and textures complementary to their bathroom. The gift feels tailored and harmonious.

For example, pair deep teal towels with metallic ribbon. Or warm brown towels wrapped in burlap and twine.

Scent Pairing

Coordinate essential oils or soap scents with the towel color and patterning.

Bright citrus oils like grapefruit or lemon match cheery yellow stripe towels. Earthy blends like lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree oil suit navy organic cotton towels.

Take fragrance coordination one step further by selecting a scented candle that pulls everything together.

Meaningful Gift Tags

Attach a card with a heartfelt message or quote. Share memories made together or the specific meaning behind your meaningful towel gift.

If gifting a monogrammed towel, include a thoughtful explanation of why you chose those particular initials for personalization.

Special Occasions

Make basic bath towels exciting gifts for special celebrations with fun themes:

Weddings

For bridal showers:

• White towels embroidered with the bride’s new last name
• His and hers towel sets in complementary colors

Eco-Friendly Wrapper Inspiration

Bath towels made of organic materials like bamboo, cotton, and hemp make excellent eco-friendly basics to gift wrap with reusable embellishments.

Upcycle fabric scraps from old clothing or linens to sew towel accents like ruffles, bows, and rosettes. Recycle paper bags and last year’s holiday cards as ingredients for artsy gift wrap decoupage.

For all-natural decoration, utilize previously fallen pinecones, acorns, properly dried flowers, and foraged twigs. Top with jute, raffia, or cotton twine closure accents.

Tower Stackers

Large families or those who love lounging in plush towels benefit from oversized bath sheets. Wrap the gift of luxury by creatively displaying the towels:

• Fold into thirds and stand upright like a tower
• Adhere extra towels into a stacked pyramid shape
• Alternate rolling half the towels and fold the other half into upright tubes

Vertically oriented towels wow with the impressive presence making the generous size clear at first glance. Accompany with a wooden bath caddy filled with scented soaps, candles and more stackable self-care goodies.
