No head towels, please

Those 'turbie' twist towels for your head, to keep your wet hair out of the way.
Now, towels are useful. A nice fluffy, soft towel can be a great thing. Maybe when you first moved into a place all on your own, someone gave you a nice, practical gift of towels. But.. would you give someone a used towel as a gift? Is *one* towel, specifically one towel useful only for the head, an appropriate thank you gift? The reason I ask is because I stumbled across this gem while at work this evening:
I use my Turbie Twist in the shower as a shower cap and it is great! I have also been known to take two with me when I go visit and I usually leave one with my hostess. It's a great way to say thank you for having me in your home.
Just so you know, if you come stay at my house, please don't give me a used head towel. We're cool. If you really want me to have some towels, send me a gift card for my birthday. Or if you want to say thanks for letting me stay here, just buy me a cup of coffee.

Thank you for the giggle.
