On Top of the Gifts, CX does provide an excellent travel experience. Therefore I see the gifts as a Bonus and also the appreciation of the airline.

As for the fare, I must say Back in the mid 90s, From SYD-HKG return on CX and QF = around 4200ish.

Up Until last year it is still around 4700ish

Therefore I must say the gifts does NOT neccesary bump up any price.

Ok, so fares have stayed about the same (42 to 47 is NOT a huge leap) whilst costs have risen somewhat. And GIFTS have been discontinued. To what are you attributing the stability of airfares given the rise i costs (notably insurance and fuel)?

And how much of their profit margin would expensive GIFTS eat into, given that it is not a core product necessary to the enjoyment of the flight?

Things I think should be part of an amenities kit:

Toothpaste (spearmint)
Toothbrush (new)
Lip Balm (unused)
Moisturiser
Comb
Hairbrush
Deoderant
Eyeshade (come in handy as blindfolds for kids games)
200ml Scotch (min 18yo)
Pen
Mickey Mouse Ears
Sleeping Tablets
Asprin
G-String
Ear plugs

NM in a G-string? Pass. Stick to the top shelf stuff thankyou.

IB gives very nice slippers, CX gives rather poor slippers, SQ has the sockette type slippers. Most other airlines give socks and QF has one of the better types (BA used to have very nice socks, but no longer). As for the Evian, several airlines provide a mist in the bathrooms in F, one has it in the amenity kit (and it is Evian) but I forget which one now. Too many different amenity kits; the nicest one in OW now is from IB, of all strange results.
