When my father-in-law passed about five years back I got his set of old handkerchiefs (clean and neatly folded of course)...at first I was apathetic and maybe even disgusted by the thought of using them, but I've really come to appreciate them. They just strike me as a more easily manageable than a wad of tissues, and they look, well, classier as well. I always keep one in my inside jacket pocket. Like Mike said though, get a bunch of them since you'll go through them like socks.
