Turkish towels are super popular, especially during the summer. They're fantastic beach towels, and they always sell out quickly! But did you know they're not just for summer? Turkish towels make awesome gifts, and everyone who gets one loves them! Here are five perfect times to give someone a Turkish towel.
As a Christmas, or Holiday Gift
Turkish towels make fantastic holiday gifts! They're perfect for adding a touch of style to your home, whether you hang them on a towel rack or drape them over a clawfoot bathtub. With so many beautiful colors and patterns, there's definitely one to fit any style and home.
On top of that, Turkish towels are super absorbent, easy to wash, and they're big enough to wrap around you while you're getting ready in the morning.
But that's not all! You can use them for so many other things, too! They make great scarves, baby swaddles, or picnic blankets. Add a picnic basket, a bottle of wine, and some plates and utensils, and you've got a super thoughtful-themed gift!
As a Housewarming Gift
With more and more people working from home and moving to new places, you're probably going to need some housewarming gifts.
Turkish towels are a fantastic choice for a housewarming present! They look great displayed in the bathroom and are perfect for everyday use. They dry quickly and absorb a lot of water, so they won't get smelly and they're less bulky than other bath towels, leaving more room for storage.
And there are so many colors and styles to choose from, making it easy to find one that matches your friend's or family's style. Turkish towels can also be used as table runners, lightweight blankets, and so much more! Include a little list of uses when you give it as a gift.
As a Bridal Shower Gift
Turkish towels are also a wonderful choice for bridal showers! They're a practical and stylish gift that the happy couple will love. Plus, you can personalize them by having them embroidered with the couple's names or wedding date.
Just take a look at the bride's registry and see what bathroom colors she's picked. You can easily find a Turkish towel that matches her style!
Honeymoon Essentials
Are the newlyweds headed to a tropical or beach destination after the wedding? A brightly patterned Turkish towel makes the perfect honeymoon gift! It can be used as a sarong.
As a Bridesmaids Gift
If you're searching for a luxurious and practical gift for your amazing bridesmaids, Turkish towels are the perfect choice! With many bachelorette parties taking place on beaches and in sunny locations, every bridesmaid will appreciate having their own towel.
Since Turkish towels dry quickly, you and your bridesmaids can easily pop them in your eco-friendly beach bag, hop to a new pool, enjoy lunch, and come back to a completely dry towel for your next adventure.
As a Baby Shower Gift
You might not think Turkish towels are a typical baby shower gift, but they're a fantastic choice! They're lightweight and large, making them perfect for a variety of uses.
The mom-to-be can use a Turkish towel as a nursing cover. Nursing can get hot, and both mom and baby can get sweaty. Since the towel is lightweight and breathable, it's great for covering up while nursing without overheating.
Many moms have also used Turkish towels as a swaddle for their babies. They're soft, easy to wash, and perfect for babies and all the “accidents” that come with them.
Final Thoughts
Turkish towels are awesome for the beach, bath, or shower, but there are so many other uses! They're also great gifts for all kinds of occasions.
