Hello my name is kiwi flyer and I collect amenity kits (and menus).
I use them, give them away but still I seem to be getting more and more. I'm not even sure how many I have.

Sign me up for Amenity Kits Anonymous as well because I have the sickness BAD! I have HUNDREDS of NEW UNOPENED C and F Amenity Kits. This is even after giving away HUNDREDS. Currently I have FIVE generations of the UA Kits. I also have around FIFTY, NEW UNOPENED Arrivals, Shower Kits and about TWO Dozen of the Amenity Kits given out for lost luggage.

guilty. I have (had) about 40, then my mrs. gave all the zipper bags to my kids school for art supplies. The zipper pouches were much better than the drawstring bag. LH has a velcor pouch that is really nice.
It is a sickness, though I only take my own. I also have an affinity for hotel pens.....

I have seen luckycoins addiction to ammenity bags in person on an MR to LHR!
Anyone play that game with the hotel, where you empty all the soap, sewing kits, etc, into your luggage and zip it, they refill the items and you do it everyday? I ended up with 5 lbs of nice blue soap from the Le Royal. I have issues, but I am glad I am not alone.
