Creative Ways to Use a Tea Towel
A few years ago we discovered the most beautiful tea towels from Studiopatró, a lovely San Francisco-based company. This "Piece of Cake" tea towel made such a sweet and eco-chic gift in a past Celebrate gift package, that we knew we had to bring the brand back to our shop.
Our all-new Just Because gift package features a "Life is Delicious" tea towel from Studiopatró that is perfect for all of your fall gifting needs. It makes a lovely hostess gift, Thinking of You, or simply Just Because.
There are several creative ways you can use a tea towel, such as wrapping a gift like a recipe book - perfect for a thank you or hostess gift.
