I am resurrecting this old thread because I am facing the same dilemma. But we have dozens and dozens of new and sealed amenity kits, almost 50 toothbrush/dental kits, and more. I have already done everything listed on this thread:
- Sold more interesting kits on Ebay (non-US or US kits in sets)
- Use bags for cords (the SN bag is especially useful)
- Given them to family members flying long-haul coach (AA)
- Use for personal makeup/toiletry bag (CX)
- Use as regular "flight bag" with my own amenities that I want for all flights (UA, surprisingly)
- Simply dug into them to pull out individual items
- Collect special edition kits (current AA vintage sets)
- Thrown them out (OS)
And STILL we have SO MANY kits! We are about to travel to Myanmar and Cambodia and were wondering if it would be appropriate to just give them out as gifts to kids (especially the dental kits) since we won't give cash ever. Or if there is something else we should do. We are currently expats and we don't know the charities here that might accept them.
Any ideas?
