When I was furnishing my apartment, I bought things blindly. Like bath mats and bath towels. I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond b/c Hello! It's a home good store! For sure they must have good things! Especially at those prices! They have to be high quality!
And I was disappointed. The towels weren't soft. The bath mats slid all over the floor and didn't stay 'fluffy' like I had hoped. And after spending a little over $100 on 2 bath mats? I was expecting them to practically massage my feet. (Okay, maybe I expect a lot for my money)
Enter in Day-After-Thanksgiving day shopping 2008. JCPenney had towels on sale- Buy 1 for $9.99 and get one 1/2 off. So I got two of them- although I was cautious. No way would a towel for $8.00 stay this fluffy after a wash.
But it did! And they were fabulous. And I fell in love. Of course they aren't really PERFECT. After a couple of washings, they started getting loose strings. And the band on them is pretty wide which can sometimes hurt when you unknowingly use it to dry your face off. And some of the colors seem to discolor a little when washed. (I bought the cream, brown, and linen colors and didn't notice any discoloring)
But for the price? They are so worth it. And now our lake house is stocked with them.
Find them HERE at JCPenney.com. And here's a hint: They are sometimes cheaper in the store.
The current prices (2-9-2010) are:
Bath Towel: $9.99

Hand Towel: $7.99
Wash Cloth: $5.99
Tub Mat: $9.99
After my extreme happiness with the towels, I decided to buy the bath mats. And I was even more pleased with them. I've washed them a couple of times and there have been no loose strings (I haven't put them in the dryer due to the rubber backing) and they are fluffy and I love the feel of stepping out onto them after a shower. Also? They don't slide around on the floor b/c of the rubber backing.
You can find them HERE at JCPenney.com. Their current prices range from $9.99 to $24.99 and they have the toilet lid covers available as well.Both of these products are from the American Living Hamilton Bath Collection. The last time I went to JCPenney, the sales guy said that Tommy Hilfiger is behind this collection. I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Let me know if you buy any of these and what you think about them.
MAkes sense to me--we buy a lot of Hilfiger bedding at MAcys on sale, and that shit is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when you can get Ralph Lauren towels on sale, do it. I cannot tell you how old some of ours are, and they still feel good and look good.
