Any gift recycling going on?

[MamaMia]

I have a few. I could float a boat in all the fruity lotions, perfumes and soaps I get. By now, you would think that people would know I have my favorites that I stick with and its no secret that I have a whole drawer full of it. I like soft fragrances but I get all this raspberry, melon, orange blossom, vanilla, strawberry fruity stuff. I don't want to smell like a fruit basket. Unless my husband gives me something that makes him feel frisky, I don't want it.

This is where my families emphasis on reducing the number of gifts given pays off. Less gifts equals less useless stuff and more meaning.

I got a Scategories game for my niece, a senior at Nebraska University. We all had so much fun playing that game. Her answers were so odd that I laughed until I cried. One of the questions was "A job in which you wear a uniform", and the letter was 'S'. She thought she got a double score with "Secret Service." :D

If this thread is some kind of a ploy to get me to recycle some of the Sephora gift cards I got to any of you suckers, it ain't gonna work.

I take the gifts from parents and kids and recycle. My daughter gets the lotions, etc (like MommaMia, I have limited ones I use). The boys get to share the gift cards.
I also tend to get a bunch of seasonal decorations that are just too good to toss, so I put them all on the kitchen counter and left people pick if they want. It has become a fun tradition for my family and some of the firneds. I don't do this with gifts from frineds or family though, I prefer to keep my friends and family.
