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

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

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.
