No head towels, please

[threeplusfire]

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.

See and there I would assume from the passage that the giftor brough one towel to use and one new one as a gift - otherwise why bring two? Depending on the host/ess, I can see that being a very nice gesture.

That would be the much nicer route. I just couldn't help but picture someone leaving laundry behind. I think this was after reading some hundred odd reviews from the shopping networks, which are usually a strange mix.
