guilty as charged. bottom drawer in the bathroom is filling up with them. mr kk rarely uses his, so i get to actually use mine in flight and keep his pristine ones also.
i always offer to give 'em to people who spend the night at our place, but no-one ever takes me up on it.
when we move, i'll give 'em all away rather than pack them....unless we keep the house, in which case there will be a designated drawer.

I also have a decent?! collection of amenity kits around different airlines, but most of them are from UA C cabin. Just flew in from NRT on NH. NH gave out very nice bag to put in an assorted amenity items from a basket. This bag from NH is by far the best of all amenity kits received (aside from the content) as I can use it for travel kit (put decent sized shampoo, lotion, etc.). NH had a very nice set of pajamas, but I wasn't allowed to take them...
As for content, SQ is one of the best... especially with their Bulgari perfume.
As for UA kits, I use one of the newer ones for camera cover (DSLR). Other ones are unopened and remain in the boxes in my storage.
By the way, I actually make a good use of newer UA F amenity kit. I use it as a travel document wallet.

Yea, I think NH washes them for re-use, which I don't mind. But it would have been a nice addition to my small airline Pajama collection. SQ gave me theirs.... I actually had multiples of them, but gave away to my dad and other friends.

You know, the other day at the JFK RCC, I reached into my laptop bag to get some Airborne. I kept it (and some other stuff) in an F amenity kit from last year, and when you saw that I was flying around with an F kit in my bag, you almost said something. Wonder what was on your mind...???

I have a suitcase full of amenities kits and continue hording more... I think this is a borderline addiction. Sometimes I ask for extras for my roommate. She doesn't seem to enjoy them as much as I do though... oh well, more for me!
My faves are:
- SAA C -- very nice Delsey bag with a zipper
- LH F -- great footies (airline socks with a semi-stiff sole), decent bag
The H20 amenities from UA are nice -- too bad the bags look cheap, and the bottle sizes are TINY (in C and F).

Note to self: no NH for this PJ collector. Have BA, SQ and QF PJ's at home. Unopened. The passenger next to me on SQ didn't open his and when he was leaving, left it on the seat. Guess who is the proud owner of them? Should put those on eBay.

Some real use...
I collect them, but as a male, I get funny looks when I ask for a female one if I do not need it. Then I give them to the local hospital child emergency ward so that mothers who come in with their kids and have to stay with them overnight can feel a little bit human the next morning.
The boy kits get taken home for recycling through the local disposal agency known as ebay.
