Towel

Towels, Bath towel, Beach towel

A towel is a small comfort that waits for you at the end of something: a swim, a bath or a long, messy day. Wrapping yourself in a big, warm one often means you'd like to feel safe and cared for after a stretch of effort. Fresh towels folded in a neat stack suggest a well-kept home and a welcome for guests, while a damp, musty one can mean small chores have been piling up. Towels are also shared, borrowed and squabbled over in most households, so who got the dry one may hint at how fair things feel at home.
