If I don't give my father a pack of handkerchiefs every Christmas, he gets annoyed. I've bought these 3 years in a row and he loves them. They are not too thick and are good for any occasions he might use them. He has carried one in his pocket every day for 300 years, and they are similar to the ones he has carried for 60 years. I bought the prettier, more expensive brand from TJ Maxx for Father's Day and he complained about it. I didn't want trendy handkerchiefs that I wouldn't be able to use when changing a tire or the like.
