The holiday season invites us to slow down, gather around the table, and celebrate the rituals that make home feel like home. At RIHLA, every textile we create is rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling, and a deep respect for traditional artistry. This year, we’re celebrating gifting that feels warm, meaningful, and mindful, pieces that elevate everyday rituals while honoring the hands that craft them.

Whether you're looking to shop holiday gift sets under $50, refresh your own space, or bring beauty to a loved one’s table, our handblock printed textiles make gifting effortless and heartfelt. From our kitchen towel gift set to our dinner napkins, cloth dinner napkins, block print placemats, and placemats for Thanksgiving, each piece is designed to blend utility with artistry.

A Season for Thoughtful Textiles

In a world that moves quickly, handmade textiles encourage us to pause. They remind us that objects can carry history, evoke connection, and turn everyday routines into moments of beauty. Every RIHLA piece, from the towels that hang by your kitchen sink to the napkins placed at your holiday table, is created with this intention in mind.

This holiday season, we curated pieces that feel generous yet accessible, making it easier than ever to find meaningful gifts without stretching your budget. If you're hoping to shop holiday gift sets under $50, you'll discover that beautifully crafted, hand-printed textiles can be both luxurious and affordable.

The Kitchen Towel Gift Set: Everyday Rituals, Elevated

Our kitchen towel gift set brings together artistry and everyday functionality in a way that feels both practical and poetic. Crafted in hand-dyed waffle cotton, the set includes two complementary towels:

• River Vine handblock printed towel: Flowing indigo vines, detailed in fine black lines, stamped entirely by hand using centuries-old wooden blocks.
  
• Solid Clove towel: Hand-dyed in a warm, malty shade that pairs effortlessly with the printed piece.
  

The waffle weave is absorbent, quick-drying, and soft, ideal for busy kitchens and thoughtful hosts alike. But beyond its utility, the set carries a story of craftsmanship that your recipients will feel every time they reach for it.

This set is a favorite for holiday hosts, teachers, and loved ones who appreciate gifts with meaning. For those who want to shop holiday gift sets under $50, it’s one of the most intentional and beautifully crafted options of the season.

Dinner Napkins: A Touch of Elegance for Every Table

There is something timelessly elegant about setting a table with cloth dinner napkins. Our handblock printed dinner napkins in soft blush and teal offer exactly that feeling, refined yet approachable, decorative yet durable.

Crafted in thick cotton, these napkins are designed for everyday use but elevated enough to grace a holiday table. Their delicate print and soft drape bring understated beauty to any meal, whether it's a festive dinner or a quiet breakfast.

Pairing these napkins with textured serveware or natural wood accents instantly transforms the mood of a table. For special gatherings, match them with our Crimson Vine placemats for a more layered, visually rich holiday setting.

As a gift, these napkins feel personal and thoughtful, ideal for a hostess, a sister, a close friend, or anyone who values well-crafted essentials that add beauty to everyday living.

Block Print Placemats: Artistry Meets Function

If you’re looking to refresh your holiday table or choose thoughtful gifts, our block print placemats offer tradition, texture, and timeless design. Handblock printed with delicate rose-red florals trailing across a soft white ground, these placemats are crafted in durable, structured cotton 40s.

They make a refined foundation for festive gatherings, yet they’re versatile enough to live on your table long past the holiday season. Their gentle palette complements a range of dinnerware and decorations, making them easy to style and re-style throughout the year.

These textiles are especially popular as placemats for thanksgiving, where their elegant florals add warmth and character to fall tables. Their artisanal quality and thoughtful design make them a meaningful gift, for loved ones, holiday hosts, or even yourself.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

Behind every RIHLA textile lies a slow, intentional process. The wooden blocks used for printing are hand-carved; the dyes are prepared carefully; each impression is created with patience and precision. In a single placemat or towel, dozens of block impressions may come together to form one continuous repeat , the result of skilled artisans keeping centuries-old techniques alive.

When you gift handblock printed textiles, you aren’t just giving an object. You’re sharing the story of craftsmanship, tradition, and human touch, something mass-produced items simply cannot replicate.

Styling Inspiration for the Holidays

For the Kitchen:

• Drape the River Vine towel over your oven handle and keep the solid Clove towel near your prep station for a warm, cohesive look.
  
• Pair with natural cutting boards or ceramic jars to highlight the hand-crafted textures.
  

For the Dining Table:

• Start with the rose-red block print placemats, adding simple neutral dinnerware to allow the patterns to shine.
  
• Place the blush-and-teal cloth dinner napkins gently folded or knotted at each setting for a soft, elegant touch.
  
• Add greenery, candles, or brass accents for a holiday-ready table that feels inviting without being overly decorated.
  

For Thanksgiving:

• Our placemats for thanksgiving work beautifully with autumnal tones — think muted brown ceramics, earthy linens, and warm candlelight.
  
• Mix and match patterns intentionally to create a collected, welcoming aesthetic.

A Gift That Lasts Beyond the Season

The best gifts are those that become part of daily life — the towel that gets used every morning, the napkins that accompany family meals, the placemats that anchor the table where people gather and connect.

At RIHLA, we believe textiles can shape experiences, anchor rituals, and turn spaces into sanctuaries. When you choose our kitchen towel gift set, dinner napkins, cloth dinner napkins, block print placemats, cosmetic pouches or placemats for thanksgiving, you’re gifting more than a product, you’re sharing a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and thoughtful living.

This holiday season, may your gifts carry meaning, your tables welcome loved ones, and your home radiate warmth.
