Apples & Onions Spotlights Deck Towel and the Martijn Linen Beach Blanket

The Martijn towel is featured on the Apples & Onions Holiday Gift Guide. Lydia (the wonderfully supportive sister of our founder, Buck Ellison), runs this Los Angeles-based food consultancy. If you haven't read its blog, it comes highly recommended. It's the perfect of marriage of recipe, fashion, and entertaining tips, all presented with biting wit.

Happy Weekend Friends! I’m starting to get into the holiday spirit and have started some of my Christmas shopping! To help you choose unique and thoughtful gifts for your loved ones this year we’ve complied a list of A & O approved holiday gifts and gift guides.

Deck Towel. My brother Buck started selling these linen towels he made in his tiny NY apartment bedroom while getting ready to graduate from college this May. Now they are featured in GQ magazine’s Best Stuff of the Year (December 2010). Perfect for the beach, picnics, soccer games, sofa throw blanket, bed spread, table cloth or plane blanket. Truly a super functional and chic gift for the people you know who have everything.
