I give my manageing partner a gift EVERY year. Last year, I gave him an engraved set of new handkerchiefs b/c his old ones were getting ratty, and he uses them every day. I did tell him not to use them to buff his head b/c the lint was winding up sticking to his ears. He thanked me for pointing this out to him. Now he has new lint-free silk handkerchiefs that do not have any lint on them and he looks very dapper! YAY!!!
