You bet! There is nothing like getting out of a shower and having a warm towel to wrap around your body.
Like the good mother I try to be I would throw the towels in the dryer to warm them up for my little pumpkins but by the time I came up the stairs they would have cooled off. Or I would hang them in front of the fireplace which seemed to work, but then I started thinking hey what about me will anyone warm a towel for me? And then when I exit the shower would they come running with a warm piece of heaven to wrap my aging sagging body in (It does need more care then normal lately). No the towels never came.
Ah ha! So when I saw a towel warmer listed in a Brookstones catalogue I asked Santa right away for one. I pictured that this addition to my slightly larger than 5'x5' bathroom would transform the room to an elite spa (I could practically hear the slight dripping of the waterfalls in the distance). So it was to my dismay that Santa did not deliver one (I secretly think he thought it was a great idea himself so deciding to keep it, him and the misses Clause are enjoying my gift?)
I decided after that my husband needed to take the family for a nice visit to the outlets the week after Christmas. To my delight in the Brookstone's outlet, there right in front of my eyes, were towel warmers! And what a savings almost 50% off. These were ones that were returned, I still cannot fathom why anyone would return such a piece of the future. But still I was going home with one and with a great savings. So I picked the one that I thought had everything it needed in the package, and the box looked great. Got home and plugged it in, one problem no directions. Well how hard can this be, an on and off button. Easy. I threw a towel in and waited. The light clicked off I pulled it out and wa-la the right and left corners of the towel were warm as a hot bun in the oven, but that was it.
Ok, I seriously had a problem, how do I fold the towel so that I get warmth all over. I tried folding it this way and that, I piled in multiple towels. I even made animals shapes like they do in some hotels, though mine looked more like rodents, but no luck. My last attempt was to leave the towel open unravelled and placed gently in. I found this to be the best option. Warmth now meets me getting out of the shower in the cold New England days.
Now that it has been almost a year later since I bought the towel warmer, I once again cannot wait to dust it off and be transported back to my Venetian spa trance like state, even if it does only last for 1 minute 30seconds after it touches your body. It is one item I will not want to go without.
(if you have a better way of improving the towel crumpling so it warms more effectively, or if you have the directions on one, I would love to hear from you)
