Name and Initials
Consider embroidering -- or buying pre-embroidered -- towels with your initials. Not only do they help you remember which towels belong to which family member, they also add class to your bathroom. For example, you can get your towels embroidered in a cursive font style. You can also get your towels embroidered with the first name of the person who each towel belongs to. Finally, towels can be embroidered with just your family's last name, if you choose.
Cartoon Characters and Action Figures
Cartoon characters and action figures appeal to the children who live in your home. Consider buying embroidered towels with the cartoon characters or action figures you know your kids love. If your kids do not enjoy taking baths, then towels with these embroideries may encourage them to take their baths. For example, your son may enjoy seeing his favorite anime characters on the towels.
Animals
Animal embroideries can appeal to both kids and adults who live in your household. For example, kids of any gender will enjoy seeing embroideries of dogs, cats, turtles, horses or similar animals. If your children have goldfish as pets, then the towels can also be embroidered with goldfish. Customize the towels by varying the animals and their sizes. They can be placed in different scenes, as well; for example, a frog can sit on a lily pad.
Symbols and Flowers
Another option is to have symbols embroidered on your towels. For example, if you live in New Orleans or are a New Orleans native, then the fleur-de-lis makes a good embroidery idea. The fleur-de-lis is based on the lily flower. You can even embroider your favorite flower on the towels, such as the rose or the sunflower.
