I think its a good gift. Your DTDs can have their own lovely towels. I think its a considerate gift.

My just 2 year old got a book thrown at her with the words "I don't know why I bothered .... it can't read yet". At least your towels didn't come with twatishness.

OP - life is too short If you want new towels, buy them. Downgrade the current ones to dog towels, garden toys, rags or donate them to the dogs' home. But don't spend the next ten years wanting them to wear out so you can get what you really want. Small pleasures and all that.

Is she a Douglas Adams fan?

Mine were given their own bath towels, they were delighted.

My sis got DD2 a Ben10 bath towel when she was younger. She loved it and used it for years.

Breezy1985 · 20/12/2013 21:36

I've just wrapped up a towel for my 9yo, tis a JLS one though, so she's gonna love it They both love taking their own towels to school swimming lessons.

Hexbugsmakemeitch · 20/12/2013 21:36

Did you unwrap them to see wgat she'd given them?

That is odd..

Mattissy · 22/12/2013 23:28

Mine have several of their own towels, they love them.

I've dated loads of swimmer men, not surprising really, being a swimmer girl! Lol

I've bought my girls embroidered towels for their stockings.

I thought they'd be good for swimming and stuff like that

I don't see the crime

Freddiefrog · 22/12/2013 23:35

Odd, posting on my phone and only 1 page showed up

Plain towel seems odd but nothing if he massively offended about

CocktailQueen · 22/12/2013 23:38

Santa bought towels for our dc last Xmas and they love them! What's wrong with towels??

OldRoan · 22/12/2013 23:38

I remember having almighty fights with my DSis over a shower cap our grandparents bought us.

They bought 2, with different designs on. DSis and I shared a bath. My mum implemented, and I cannot believe I am admitting this, a shower cap rota. We took turns to have the nicer one on a weekly basis.

Children sometimes find the most ordinary things exciting...

How do you fit a towel in a stocking?

Mattissy · 23/12/2013 10:02

Roan, that's too funny!! Lol

DamnBamboo · 23/12/2013 10:04

Megglevache just spat tea on my screen laughing at that!

Ruffcat · 23/12/2013 10:53
