Potty Favor

Monogrammed Toilet Paper

Congratulations. You’ve finally arrived.

You scored that crucial invite to the fab summer-house weekend.

You’re not out of the woods (or, rather, smoggy urban sprawl) yet. Your witty banter and excellent beach style alone won’t ensure a repeat invite. For that, you need to get the right gift for your host. Our advice? Steer clear of the ubiquitous candle, basket of jams, fruitcake, or picture frame. Think practical yet whimsical. Personal but fun for everyone.

Give up? Monogrammed toilet paper. Yes, you heard right. (Is there anything you won’t monogram?) What host wouldn’t want his initial (only one in this case, we’re afraid) emblazoned in gold cursive on the most intimate of two-ply tissue?

Of course, you do run the risk of being called a kiss-ass.

But that’s probably what got you invited in the first place.
