New amenity kits
Got the new amenity kit on today's HKG-YVR flight. They're blue and no longer distinguish between male and female. The contents are made by 'Deserving Thyme'. The usual stuff plus a towel, lotion, face mist & temple balm. Also a gift certificate for free gift if you buy $25 or more of deserving thyme products at Sears.
I got all three kinds of amenity kits just in the past 6 days.

No - not the female one.
I got the 2 different male ones (the black one on YUL-LHR and the long one on YVR-HKG) and the new one on HKG-YVR today.

Unisex kits? I don't think this would be an imporvement? Men and women have very different needs, I just don't see how you can offer unisex kits and call it a premium product and sure I also don't understand how much money they could possibly save by making it unisex. And it's the type of decision that pleases no one - men won't like it because some of them will feel it's feminant while women would tend to think whoever thought of that is unsensitive and total lack of tact.

Probably because they only loaded those on. I found out that was the female kit because someone I flew with asked for one of those to give to his girlfriend. The contents were good enough for either male or female.

I don't know if this was an "abby normal" kit but the one distributed on AC 853 (66 pax on a 763) this past Monday was:
a translucent vinyl pouch containing:
An eye shade - with cotton side
toothbrush and toothpaste
Sockettes
Do not Disturb sticker
Not much better than what BA gives out in the back.

The kits are a waste of money how many do we need? Just give me the eye shades. Oh and give the person beside me toothpaste and brush just in case
