Christmas shopping season is upon us once again and I am fortunate enough to be a man who has nearly everything. A new car wouldn’t go amiss but I am pretty happy with my lot and already have a 40 inch plasma TV. So last year I sat there on the day of good will expecting all of the usual rubbish to be bestowed upon me wrapped in Rudolph covered paper. Socks, boring, slippers, boring, a nut cracker, oh thanks dear. This is when I got an unexpected and surprisingly gratifying treat from underneath the mass of pine needles at the back of the room.
I actually got something that I have liked and actually enjoyed using everyday for the whole year.
Rarely is anything as pleasurable as stepping out of a steaming hot bath on to a plush luxury bath mat and being wrapped into a fabulously luxurious warm thick bath towel. This may sound like a sad thing to say, but think about it. Having a warm luxury towel grabbed straight from a boiling hot towel rail and indulging in the squeeze of 820 gsm of pure Turkish cotton. I can think of things much worse!
This is when Christmas comes into the equation. Imagine me last year on Boxing Day feeling a little worse for wear having the comfort of a brand new towel wrapped around myself. Nothing better.
All of my previous bath towels were scraggy, smelly and on the verge of being classified as an independent eco system. I don’t like to think of all the bugs that were infesting in them, I suppose they could have been washed but they always lose that soft feel and thickness that they had when I bought them. That’s why I think it’s important to buy a quality bath towel because then it lasts for so much longer and is thicker than the budget paper thin beach towels I used to try and pass off as bath towels.
With this one I got last year I would have to say if anything it has got even better with age. It seemed to become even more absorbent after more washes and is now even nicer to use than on that first use on Boxing Day.
If I were to recommend a towel to be added on a Christmas list this year it would have to be one with as many loops of fine cotton as physically possible. The more loops, the more cotton and therefore the greater the towel’s drying ability. It’s essential that it’s really heavy too, that’s a sign of a good towel. I am sure many men around the World would be extremely thankful for a gift that’s for everyday life not just for Christmas.
