Reply to Microplane Grater, any suggestiosn? by yhwrmwfcmn
Someone may be able to correct me here but there is no buy it for life microplane grater. If you use it regularly you're supposed to replace it annually. They become dull over time and there isn't a way to sharpen them. The company Microplane makes their blades in the US and are probably the best one. I'm not sure how you're breaking them exactly, if the handle is snapping or something, that's a different story. But all said, I don't think this is a BIFL item.

Thanks mate : )
I understand what you're talking about but we know each other very well and those sorts of mis-directions aren't a problem. There are some things I know absolutely not to buy for her.
But these towels aren't the whole of her Christmas... There'll be a few unknowns.
Sallying forth... with confidence!

You are looking for weseta. Damn, they are expensive, but they were recommended to me years ago. At first, I felt stupid paying €120 for a towel, but damn is it good, and I have in the meantime bought like 5 others, and haven't had any issues with them.
Not sure if they ship to the US though...

As long ad she asked, you're good to go! I know way to many men who've heard their wives comment they'd like to get nicer [insert everyday household item here] and nen take that as a great idea for a gift. It's not always received well! But if she asked for super nice towels then go forth with confidence!!

im a female that looooves high quality spa experiences, interested in the responses ..
I have Under the Canopy bath towels rn — got the hemp and cotton mix. They are more absorbent than plain cotton towels. I used to have 100% organic cotton and while they are fluffy they are bulky, heavy, and dont absorb well so ive relegated them to guest towels. i suspect they are harder to truly deep clean in regular wash due to bulk and fluff. under the canopy towels are organic — better for your skin (less toxins being absorbed) and sometimes better for enviro depending on how it was all grown. had for a year so far, so good. there are probably more luxe brands out there but i havent researched. good luck!
does she like robes? could be a good pairing with the home bath experience. SKIN has some organic robes, some part cashemere.
oooh, she ever try magnesium baths? does she like baths / soaking at all? gift her magnesium crystals, those are abbbsolutely relaxing and ups our magnesium (skin absorption). i use health & wisdom magnsium crystals, for last 2 years, must recommend! stronger than epsom salt at whole foods etc.

I have white Ralph Lauren towels. They’re fantastic quality. I have had RL towels in the past and enjoyed them. I think she will really like them!

I was going to say Frette. I bought some sheets ten years ago when I was feeling rich and they are getting better and better with every wash. Trouble is I now hate all my other sheets

Reply to Looking for a minimalist bed frame with slanted back rest. Needs to be very sturdy. by getoutofus2
Leggett & Platt makes sturdy BIFL bed frames ranging from simple to fancy. IMHO the one I've used these past three years is hospital quality and electrically adjustable for knee and back elevation. Not all mattresses are suited for slant adjustable beds. Think natural latex instead of innerspring. Or, In my case, an excellent choice was replacing my latex with Sleep Number's 360 designed to be compatible with adjustable bases.

Seconding Land’s End Towels. They’re wonderful.

Best ones are the charisma bath sheets from Costco. I have had several guests asked where I got them.

i get our fancy towels at linen chest. i usually squish each towel in person to find the plushiest ones and the last time i bought some was almost a decade ago and theyre still soft and fluffy
the brand we got last time is called "Sandra Vanditte(sp?) Milan" (its written in cursive on a very small tag and is hard for me to read tbh) and theyre 60% bamboo rayon and 40% cotton and are my favourite bath towels ever because of their large size which allows me to wrap my long hair up

I was not, should have specified that originally. But this is really good information that I'll file away and I am sure will help others.

Yeah finding a good service company is the key. I've cycled through a lot of bad ones already. Thanks for the advice.

I recommend Brooklinen's Super-Plush Towels. I just got some in the bath sheet size and they're soooo heavy and fluffy. like wearing a blanket!
