Amenity kits
How many regular travellers still take the First/Club amenity kit and do you really use all the contents, especially as lip balm seems to last forever. I've been declining these lately and started using up the remaining contents of previously given White Company bags - and there's an element of guilt around plastic wastage involved, too, I suppose. The crew member on my last Tokyo to London jokingly said I could have as many as I wanted as no one was taking them.

Hi,
I do . My mother uses some of the contents and give a few to local charities. The old elemis bags I found useful for putting shoes in them prior to going into the suitcase.

The First eye masks are great for getting some sleep in when on shift work.
I ended up buying an F kit from ebay when the last of my own F supply got a bit passed usable.

I have a few friends who we only exchange small not very serious presents at birthdays and Christmas. The bags are great for this, for example my (now ex-housemate) absolutely loves her F pyjamas and Liberty washbag. She's not likely to fly F anytime soon.

Usually take F but not J, current one not too bad with semi-decent sized contents. F jammies continue to go down hill though (personal favourites are JAL F product). Bags don’t get kept as still using Annya (?) Hindmarsh soft and hard bags.

I have some cotton J eye masks from the Molton Brown amenity kit days that I still take with me on trips now and they seem to survive a go in my washing machine now and then. Is the one with the Elmis bag cotton or polyester/nylon etc? The don't seem to breathe as well as the old waffle type ones and my eyes sweat in them, so I use the old ones on board.
