The Art of Practical Gifting: What Guests Actually Want from Your Event
Not all gifts are created equal. If you have ever hosted a wedding, baby shower, or company gathering, you have likely faced the challenge of finding guest gifts that feel thoughtful, not wasteful. Something useful, but still beautiful. Memorable, but never over the top.
In Korean culture, gifting has long embraced practicality with elegance. It is common for guests to receive items they can use again and again—most often, high-quality towels. This philosophy is one we proudly carry forward at Bulbul.
The Rise of Practical Event Gifting
Across Asia and beyond, hosts are shifting away from disposable trinkets and plastic-wrapped novelties in favour of gifts that reflect purpose and care. From intimate weddings to milestone birthdays and corporate retreats, thoughtful hosts are asking a new question:
Will my guests actually use this?
That is where our towels come in. Designed to be part of daily life and made to last, they are gifts that never gather dust on a shelf. From the softness of the fabric to the natural colours and clean design, they offer a sensory experience that aligns with elevated, meaningful hospitality.
Why Towels Work
-
Universally Useful: Everyone uses towels, and few people invest in truly beautiful ones for themselves. When gifted, they become both practical and indulgent.
-
Culturally Common: In Korean tradition, towel gifting is widely adopted for its practicality. It is especially common at baby showers (dol) and milestone birthdays, where hosts offer guests a simple, useful item that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
-
Minimal Waste: Bulbul's copper towels are made to last long its antibacterial property and arrive in eco-conscious packaging, minimising the environmental impact of your event as it help to reduce laundry frequency.
-
Customisable: For bulk orders, we also offer a custom embroidery to align with your event.
