I would buy any of them. All my wash cloths end up in a parallel dimension with half of my socks. Plus I love the artwork on the buckets and boxes.

Love the atomic towel set! That was back when stuff was made with real molecules.

They are all so beautiful! Too bad they don't package stuff like this anymore.

I love them! Esp. the bright cheery colors - so often today all you see are drab, dull, beige-related things that just make a bathroom boring. And the gift packaging makes them extra-cheerful.

this. I would actually be happy to receive any of these as gifts, they are just so cheery.

What a world we live in, where everything's encased in plastic plastic blister packs or baggies, boring boring! About the only thing I've gotten recently that was packaged in decorative cardboard was a wig a few years ago, in a cute red box. Now most of them are in plastic zipper bags-- which may be cheaper and keep moisture out but it's ugly, smells nasty and doesn't keep the light out.

You also have to keep in mind that stuff didn't have to be schlepped across the Pacific ocean back then like it does now so we pretty much need the plastic. The shipping containers keep the light out, though.

So pretty! I love the pink packages especially.

Oh my god. Two bath towels, two hand towels - fingertips! - and two wash clothes for LESS THAN SIX BUCKS?

Waaaaaant! Can't buy a *bathtowel* for less than eight to ten, anymore, and trying to get a whole set is insanely expensive.

I want the round box, too - awesome!

ETA: I know, i know, the times, price vs. earnings, etc. It still seems an amazingly low figure.
