I have two full garage bags at home with ammenity kits of all kinds.
It's funny...I was "spring cleaning" on Thanksgiving last year, and I decided to give a few to everybody who came over for dinner. The girls wound up taking them...they said the bag would come in handy.

I stockpile them, too, with no intention of ever using them. I really hit the jackpot on some short flights on Gulf Air, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad -- each of which gave the full kit on one-hour intra-GCC flights (in F). And I was pleasantly surprised to receive a mini-kit with a few items in Y on AF.
Hotel toiletries are a different story. I probably have enough to fill a bathtub, but at least I use those . . . .

Am I the only one that actually uses the amenity kits when I'm travelling?
Anyways, I have some leftover stuff that I would gladly donate to a shelter. Does anyone know of one in Chicago that I can donate to?

Ok, I think I win. I bought one on ebay (F from BA) because I love this kind of stuff. I love the products-great for me to use everyday at work, and it was in a limited edition zippered bag. I have an old F bag from UA that I still use as a "shoe bag".
I mentioned once on another thread that an amenity kit from another carrier would be a great treat for fa's. All of us are aviation junkies to some extent.
Note to Sandiego1K- I'm sorry I never got back to you-I guess I was paranoid to give out my address in case you were a UAL supervisor in disguise
(She was nice enough to offer to send me one)
Donating them to a shelter is a fantabulous idea! Bravo to those of you who do! ^
