Have you ever given two placemats as a gift if it goes to a person who lives alone? Or do you always make a set of four?

Thanks, Marilee

I've done a set of two, and include a topper too~

Two is fine.

I often give two placemats even for a couple.

You could add in matching coasters and a tabletopper.

Two is fine, I have even made only 3 for someone who has a bartop counter in their kitchen that seats 3.

I make sets of 2, 4, 6 & 8 depending on who they are going to. There are only 2 of us so we have a couple ( pairs).

I just recently made and gave my elderly neighbors 2 placemats for the 4th. Years ago I made my sister whatever the number of chairs were at the table I really don't know if she used them at all, I believe she was a bit overwhelmed when she saw everything she had requested (she wanted placemats, a bread holder and seat cushions) they were a birthday gift so I didn't mind.

There's nine in our family so I always make 9.

Two, four six or eight, they are all OK.

Two, four, six, eight, who do we appreciate? Sorry, couldn't resist! Glad you asked this really though, was thinking of making some for my SIL, they have a large table, and she doesn't keep them on, there's just 2 of them, but the table seats 6, and she puts them out when having company, just wondering if there was an extra 1 or 2 to squeeze in.......
