Why Temple Hankies Matter: A Sacred Tradition for LDS Temple Dedications

When we prepare to enter the house of the Lord, every detail matters—from the spiritual preparation to the items we bring. One often-overlooked but deeply meaningful item is the LDS temple hankie.

For many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, bringing a white handkerchief to a temple dedication is a sacred and symbolic act. It’s not just a wave of cloth during the Hosanna Shout—it’s a moment of unity, reverence, and testimony.

With upcoming temple dedications in Elko, Nevada, Grand Junction, Colorado, and Farmington, New Mexico, now is a beautiful time to reflect on the power of this simple tradition.

 

🌿 Why Bring a Temple Hankie?

• It connects you to generations of Saints
  From Kirtland to Kyiv, the tradition of temple dedications spans centuries. Bringing your own embroidered handkerchief adds a personal, modern layer to this sacred ritual.

• It’s a symbol of your testimony
  During the Hosanna Shout, that white handkerchief is a physical expression of your joy, reverence, and witness of Jesus Christ as the resurrected Savior.

• It becomes a keepsake
  After the dedication, many members place their handkerchief in their temple envelope as a reminder of their covenants and that joyful moment of praise. It's also a thoughtful gift for newly endowed members as they prepare to attend the temple for the first time.

  
  
   

🎁 The Perfect Temple Gift

Whether you're attending a temple dedication or gifting a temple-ready kit to a missionary, bride, or convert, an embroidered temple hankie is both meaningful and functional. Many of our customers choose to:

• Tuck it into a temple envelope for the endowment

• Slip it into a pocket or bag as a temple prep reminder

• Pair it with a CTR towel or baptism keepsake for youth

We offer all LDS temples—past, present, and under construction—embroidered onto soft white cotton hankies with a reverent, clean design. Each one is stitched with care by our family business and ships from Idaho with love.

How We’re Using a Wooden Plan of Salvation Puzzle in Our Gospel Lessons

This isn’t your typical printable. It’s a laser-cut wooden teaching aid that my kids can actually hold, arrange, and interact with during our Come Follow Me lessons or FHE nights.

Why It Works for My Family:

• It’s tactile and hands-on (great for kids who struggle to sit still)

• It creates natural discussion moments about each part of Heavenly Father’s plan

• It’s durable enough for little hands but pretty enough to sit on our bookshelf

We’ve already used it during a Young Women lesson, my daughter’s Seminary study, and even let the missionaries borrow it for a family they were teaching.

If you’re a homeschooling family, a Primary teacher, or just looking for something meaningful to add to your gospel study routine—this puzzle is a winner.

How to Create a Thoughtful LDS Baptism Gift Bundle (That’s Not Just a Card)

I’ve been to dozens of baptisms over the years, and let me tell you—sometimes the most memorable gifts aren’t the ones in the fanciest boxes. They’re the ones that remind a child what baptism means. One of my favorite ways to do that? A custom rainbow towel stitched with their name and the Primary lyrics they already sing by heart:
“I like to look for rainbows…”

 

Why the Rainbow Towel Is So Meaningful:
This towel was inspired by my own children and their love for singing that Primary song after every rainstorm. It’s soft, it’s big enough to wrap around them after baptism, and it’s a reminder that covenants are joyful.

Build Your Own Gift Set Idea:
Want to go beyond a towel? Here’s my favorite baptism bundle:

• ✨ Rainbow towel with their name

• ✍️ A printable baptism coloring page or bookmark

• 📖 A new set of scriptures or CTR ring

• 💌 A handwritten card with your testimony

   

  
  
  
  

For Busy Moms, Primary Leaders, or Grandparents:
You can keep it simple and still keep it sacred. Order the towel ahead of time and add small, thoughtful touches they’ll remember forever.

Sewing a Legacy of Faith: Youth Battalion Towels for the Rising Generation

After years of sewing and creating, I’ve learned something sacred:
The things we make with our hands can carry truth—when our hearts are rooted in purpose.

 

That’s why this Youth Battalion Embroidered Towel means so much to me. It was born from the words of President Russell M. Nelson to the youth of the Church:

“You are the youth of the noble birthright. You were saved for this time.”

And if anyone needs that reminder today, it’s our teens. Our young women. Our sons and daughters.
This towel was created for them.

 

🧵 Whether it’s a pillow gift for Girls Camp, a seminary surprise, or a baptism day keepsake, it’s a soft, simple reminder that they were called to be bold, faithful, and filled with light.

Let’s keep making faith visible—in the homes we nurture, the quilts we sew, and the gifts we give.
