5. Tenugui Napkin – $18.90
What I like about this product: This is a set of authentic Japanese tenugui hand towels made in Japan. Traditionally, tenugui cloths were a fashion item made from woven cotton used as a dishcloth or to wrap items such as food. The towel is left unhemmed at the edges to allow quick drying and to keep dirt from collecting at the hem. For a full Japanese experience, these Japanese designs are the perfect gift. I wrap my green tea with these to give to my loved ones. You know the Japanese are crazy about wrapping gifts; this way, it will always amaze the recipient no matter what you have inside!
