So here's a question for you:

I bought a few tartan handkerchiefs as souvenirs, intending to give them to immediate family, but I have found that they bleed dye like mad. Would it be nicer to give them in their original neatly rolled state, or wash them before sending them out to spare the receiver the possibility of dying their clothes pink?

Ohh, tough one! I go for option two for the sake of practicality.

*nods* I think it might be kinder, especially where I have a plastic basin which doesn't take stains easily, and other people might not have that.

It will be tomorrow, however, since the bathroom is filled with my own handkerchiefs today. :) I bought a package for myself and a package to give away, but there's seven in each package and I don't know if I need seven.

Wash first, and then fold them in a really pretty way? Best of both worlds.

That would be great if I knew a little origami, but I don't. Obviously I should learn, because I observed a guy really making good time with a girl the other day by giving her little origami things and showing her how to make more. It's a chick-magnet ability, apparently. ;)
