DIY: What To Do With All Those Free Samples!

January 12, 2012 by jlpenner Leave a Comment

 

Ever wonder what you’re going to do with all those free samples you get in the mail and the free trial size items in store? I typically like to store mine in a bin for when we go on vacation I can quickly grab what we’ll need. They are also fantastic for donating to the Ronald McDonald House and other charities!

But there’s also another unique way to use those samples, I had a reader suggest this a few months back and I thought it was a fantastic idea, one i’d never thought of before.

Take all the samples and place them in a basket for your house guest! Stock them up with body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, mouth wash, etc. Items that some guest may forget to bring with them and that way you’re not having to constantly hand out your full size products for each guest to use. Not to mention  it’s a nice “welcome gift” for house guest, our friend told us he felt like he was staying at a hotel when he saw the basket of goodies to use!

(I do recommend having the guest take certain items with them or discard after use such as razors, toothbrush, deodorant, mouthwash, etc)
