Trying to find women's handkerchiefs ... help?

[Stargazer]

I'm tyring to find a nice set of embroidered handkerchiefs for my husband's grandmother, but so far I'm not having any luck (other than a few listings on eBay).

Does anyone know of any websites or department stores that might carry them? I'm beginning to wonder if we should start looking for something else


~Thanks for any advice~

Hmmm trying to get a picture of what you want....do they need to be frilly? Target has some near my house with Letters embroidered on them like "E" for Ed or Emily...They aren't frilly, I guess I'd call them unisex and they are $5 for a box of three.

Google "ladies handkerchiefs" and check out the first one that comes up.

Have you tried jcpenny? It seems to me that I have seen them in their catalogs in the past. Or maybe Kohl's or Younkers.

I have bought one for my grandma at Hallmark. I believe they are up by the register

I've bought some nice ones from the Vermont Country store before. They are reliable & have great customer service. Here's a link:

Have you tried Etsy?

The best price is at the above-linked EmbroiderThis.com Those are blanks sold for monogramming, but many of them are lace-trimmed and may have flowers embroidered on already.

This site http://www.ffcembroidery.com/personalizedhandkerchiefs.htm will embroider what you ask for on their hankies, but they are pricey, around $12/each.

If it were me, if I wanted monogrammed, I'd buy the blanks and take them to a local embroidery shop to be done.

Hankies have fallen out of favor generally because people see them as unsanitary. My allergic-to-the-air DH still insists on carrying them, though, so I'm in habit of buying them often.

WOW.....I totally read that Thread title wrong the first time, had to do a double take.....on the word Handkerchief......I thought you were trying to find Woman's "Handcuffs"..........I thought well Spencer gifts and such have pink fuzzy ones......
