To just love a tiny toiletry

Off to Budapest on Thursday for a short break. I was in Superdrug today grinning like a loon at the scaled down bottles of Original Source when I nearly disappeared up my own bum with excitement at the miniature John Frieda Frizz Ease range. Maybe it's because they make me feel like I'm playing with dolls house bathroom products but I just adore them 😍

Glad I'm not alone. The John Frieda tipped me overboard, I put Lulu's son through college single handed the money I've spent on that 😊

Haha I was just doing the same in Boots today, stocking up for a hospital stay. Love the little packs of wipes as well.

No I love them too. I have many many tiny disney toiletries from the hotel we stayed in last year. My dolls house is a Disney castle

Buy one if each, then refill the bottles from the bigger, cheaper versions.
Whilst not traveling, out them on a nice shelf as a little homage ton your travells.

My L'Occitane advent calendar gave me TWENTY FOUR DAYS of tiny toiletry joy. They're all in my bathroom looking unbelievably cute.

I am a sucker for anything like this, but they are shocking value so I refill the bottles now from full size where I can. (I know it's not quite the same....)

I love this thread 😂 I also love tiny toiletries. I don't know why! Maybe because they're really cute? Such crap value for money but soooooo adorable.

Me too. Especially the tiny cans of Dove deodorant. I find it very hard to resist those.

Our GP surgery had tiny tubs of Aveeno handcream for the taking last week... I took 2.

I'm obsessed. I do tiny toiletry maths.

It's cheaper to buy tiny toiletries in boots and superdrug than to buy a set of tiny empty toiletry bottles in boots and superdrug.

You'd actually be cheaper buying the weenie shower gel and tipping it out to get a mini bottle than to buy a mini bottle.

Madness!

I LOVE A MINIATURE SO MUCH! Not just toiletries, anything miniature, notebooks, pictures, napkins, I love miniature everything!

I get teeny tubes of toothpaste at the dentist, but I prefer Sensodyne.

I gave the teeny tubes away to the Friends of my local hospital.

Then I bought teeny Sensodyne for a weekend away. Grin

YADNBU OP. The refillable tubes and bottles are cheaper than toiletry receptacles.

I FLIPPIN LOVE THEM. Actually, I have a bit of a thing about mini versions of things in general it brings me serious joy. Currently loving such things as mini packed lunch cathedral city, teeny cans of drink, mini pepperami, pots of fromage frais. Etc etc etc. Obsessed.

I love tiny toiletries too :) I've made me, DH and DS a tiny toiletry bag full of tiny toiletries each so that if any of us are going away for a few days we can just grab them. I've also made a really cute (or tragic depending on your point of view!) little basket of tiny toiletries for my spare room. I love the previous posters idea to refill them from the full size versions, that had never even occurred to me!
