Embroidered Linens For Christmas Gift Ideas
Housewives seek sturdy, usable embroidered towels and pillow slips as gifts. Recommend large linen damask towels, a single impressive towel, matching pillow slips with hemstitching, and heavy close weave pillow shams. Avoid the era’s tiny guest towels and favor durable, gift-worthy linens to suit home use.
