My husband received this Bobums towel as a gift from my family because it features the family beach cottage on it.
I am not normally a fan of microfibre cloths. I use them but they feel so creepy on my hands. I am not sure why.
This towel, however, was amazing on our South Africa trip. We used it a lot on spontaneous swims and also where you had to hire beach towels. It dries you so well even though it is light. It also very quickly, and comes in a plastic pouch if you need to transport it when it is wet. It folds up really small (a little larger than A5 size) Plus it repels sand. I am wishing now that I had bought one for myself. They were for sale everywhere and are not pricey at all.
Bobums South Africa is here, but I am sure you could find microfibre towels on Amazon.
They come in all kinds of prints and sizes, and you can custom design them for a company, school, or family gift.
