I bought these for personal use, yet see how they would be lovely wedding or housewarming gifts. Who would not like such lovely, exceptionally-crafted linens to accent a family meal or dinner with guests? I purchased the natural flax, as it accents my white dinnerware and also my Japanese ceramics. The napkins arrived in a stylish gift box. These rival (or exceed) the quality of similar linen napkins I purchased from a high-end home and kitchen retailer in the US. Very satisfied customer!
