    I try not to order them if I don't think I am going to use them. If I still get ones I won't use (baby formula in the mail, etc.) I try to find someone else to give it to. When all else fails, I take it to the lounge at work and leave it there with a "take me home" note taped to it. Someone always does.

    I've used some for stocking stuffers. I never throw them away in less they've been opened, leaked, or something like that.

    I usually give them away if I am not going to use them.

    I usually give them to friends and family. Around Christmas there was someone on another group I frequent collecting samples for our soldiers overseas and I got rid of a lot of ones that I wasn't using.

    I either use them for stocking stuffers, office treats, guest bathrooms, or traveling.

    Lotions and bath stuff I usually give to my dd to use. She loves it. I save them all up for her.
