Gift Guide 2020: A Totality of Towels

I hang onto things. In some cases this is a good thing: it's the reason why I've got a vast menu collection going back almost 50 years. And in some cases it's absurd: I also have every letter I've ever received, including the ones from summer camp.

As for my dishtowels... Some of them should have been consigned to the rag bin a very long time ago, but I just can't seem to let them go.

If you have a friend who is equally reluctant to let go of aging objects, they'd probably be thrilled with this extremely unusual monthly tea towel subscription. Each one is handmade by a Maine artist, and each is different. Best of all, they're so lovely that even the most ardent collector would be embarrassed to store them in a drawer filled with tattered old rags. .
