Wedding gifts and what actually gets used

Short answer: For a wedding, textiles for the home are what get used. Bedding and towels in good quality are something very few people buy for themselves.

Bedding in good quality

A set in a quality you would not buy yourself is a gift felt every night for years. It is one of the few gifts used every day without being noticed. Know the duvet size. See bamboo bedding.

Towels

Most people use towels that are far too old. A new set in good quality gets used daily. See bamboo towels.

Know the measurements first

Bedding requires the duvet size. Without it, towels are the safe choice. See home and homewear in bamboo.

Neutral colours

White and sand suit most homes and can be topped up later. See Christmas gift ideas.

Mention the care

Fabric softener ruins both bedding and towels. See washing and care.
