@LuckyGuy I had a stash of wine several years ago, because everyone seems to think wine is a great gift. I finally gave it all to a friend. Must have been 20 bottles. I try to regist wine quickly now so it doesn’t sit in my house. I keep about two or three bottles on hand just in case for visitors.
Similar to what you are doing, a couple of years ago I got together all the mini shampoos and soaps and lotions from hotels and started using them up. I kept saving them for visitors, but they were really piling up and some were getting very old. I didn’t have to buy shampoo, lotion or soap for 6 months I think, with the exception of liquid soap for me, I can’t use most bars, but my husband used the bar soap. I also had cosmetic samples from department stores that I tried to use up. Now, when I get free samples I try to use them right away, no saving them. I do keep two shampoos and two conditioners for people who visit. When I get new ones from hotels I use the old ones and replace with the newer ones.
