first class kits
 
Going thru closets and found a considerable amount of kits, mostly continenatl but a few from partners. Is there a charity that could use them?

I am curious as to how you have a Continental First Class kit?

but anyway, donate the toothbrushes/etc to your local homeless shelter.

Make sure the toothpaste is not mega-expired tho :D

You obtain a kit when you fly up front.

I managed to scoop up a couple of wine glasses with the CO logo which I have sitting on my bookcase; the FA said she'd never tell.

I would think there might be a "market" for CO branded merchandise somewhere along the line. I already miss seeing "Continental" when I beam up the website. Since I flew CO all during all the troubles, I always felt it was "my" airline.

check EBAY to see if there is a market for them
If not, maybe a museum would be interested.
SFO has an aviation museum and every so often they have expositions on travel/flight related things; they may be interested.

Definitely a market for them, and you could always donate the proceeds to charity. There are definitely charities who could use the cash :p

Amenity kit has no value on ebay unless it is SQ F Ferragamo kit, or LH/TG F Rimowa.

Aviation museum would not be intersted in anything so new and still widely available, unless you are talking about something from the 80s or older.

Military overseas
 
I donate all of mine to charities that pack them up for military overseas. I'm sure they would love most of the stuff in the kits, minus the cheap socks.
