Ideas for amenity kit
 

I'm running out of uses for my growing collection of amenity kits and thought to start a thread to see what others do with theirs. I use an old Continental one as my main toiletry bag, a newer one is used for my digital camera gear. The united ones (both the bag and zipper pouch) are being used for computer stuff. Anyone have other uses or suggestions, hate to leave them on the plane or throw them out :)

Beyond the uses already mentioned by the OP, I like to keep 2 or 3 of them in my linen closet in case a house guest happens to have misplaced or forgotten something.

They also make wonderful additions to care packages (add a book of stamps, a prepaid calling card, some gum, etc) to send to a local military outfit currently serving somewhere overseas; or as an additional present to go along with homemade holiday meals (let's face it, we cook so much food anyway) for people living on the street. Think of it as a MR of the heart. :)

I have a bunch of UA Business Class ones. I use one to hold my iPod, its charger and the headphones. I use another to hold my empower charger and all my foreign adaptors. My wife uses one for makeup,etc.

The Continental ones with the two separate zippered compartments are especially handy for keeping cords and such organized - I keep one with my empower charger and travel adaptors, and a separate one with spare laptop battery, network cables, etc. Sometimes a 3rd one as a toilet kit.

The NW/KLM ones are great for keeping pens, pencils, markers, crayons in - schoolteacher friends seem to like them. And I guess folks travelling with kids could use them too.

Gave a few to friends and family that normally ride in the back of the bus (do they even give eyeshades in Y?)

But . . . like you, I have a drawer full of them left that I'm not sure what to do with.

Yeah, your wife, riggghhhhtttttt.

When I first read this topic, I assumed it was one of wimpy's...

and
 

I keep one in my travel/laptop bag and throw spare change in there...I hate carrying change.

One holds my contact kit (fluid, eyedrops, lens case, mirror, etc.).
One holds my empower adapter.
One holds my toiletries for travel.
One of the old, gold F-class "sacks" holds my iPod charger, cord, etc., but I keep my iPod separately in a smaller drawstring bag made by Sony for its CD Walkman product.

Give them to a local domestic violence shelter.
