I sympathise Antdenatale, although I do have a practical suggestion by way of solution for disposal.
There is apparently significant demand for these things on that well-known auction website. But then you would have the problem of packing up & posting them. Not worth the hassle, obviously.
Do what I did with my own collection, and take them to that most British of events : a Sunday morning car boot sale. No shortage of willing buyers .....

It was only this week that I realized how many of these damn bags I have at home, normally I come home and dump them in a cupboard, this week I had a clean out and there were over 40 of the bloody things there, most of them unopened!

On side note, shampoo and soap are also always appreciated.

No amenity kit loaded DXB-DEL in F. Not a problem but no hand lotion at all in the bathrooms (is this an Aceboy thing?) or from crew (not an issue really) but is unusual IME.
I shall write up my thoughts on the EK experience given this was my first flight with them since 2002 & I am an EY fan....to date.

Yes NoY, aceboy is indeed widely regarded as our resident expert on hand lotion, and in his defence I have to say you would struggle to find anyone on FT more highly qualified on the complex subject.
(AFAIK, he's no slouch either when it comes to the wacky world of amenity kits and PJ's etc .....)

I shall, of course, defer to his greater knowledge whenever the need arises, which it undoubtedly will

Got my first amenity kit today. Lots of useless fragrance and cream but no useful ear plugs inside. Thankfully I had an old AF amenity kit
in my carry on that had the plugs I needed. EK was a good airline though, not a bad way to get between Asia and Europe at a reasonable cost.

I definitively prefer EK kit over AF kit. Just compare the FCL toothbrush ...
