The only thing I can think of that is worse than getting a boring Christmas gift…is giving one.  That is the dilemma I found myself in this year.  Christmas towels sounded like a great idea.  They are a grandparent gift. They like practical.  Not much for frivolity.  Monogrammed towels!  Sounded fantastic when I ordered them. The fed ex truck zoomed into my driveway and dropped them off a few days ago and I can’t think of too many things I like more than getting packages in the mail!  I tore into the box with excitement and anticipation and immediately got that sinking feeling in the bottom of my stomach.  I can’t give towels out as a Christmas present.  What was I thinking?  Towels are not fun.  Even with a bright red monogram.   Hmmm…. I had a vague memory floating around in my head and then I remembered these and these , from Prairie Dog.  Can you believe these are towels?  I love clever little gifts like these.  Anyway, the idea for peppermint towel candies was born.
