Decluttering toiletries! Argh!

[BabyBooDueNov21]

I can't be the only person with a RIDICULOUS toiletries stash?!

It's not even what I buy as I'm very low maintenance with this type of stuff, but we'll get given gift sets for Christmas and birthdays that are opened then only the shower gel is ever used we've stopped opening them now and either charity shop/re-gift them but I still have LOADS of half used body lotions, and hand creams, and I couldn't even tell you how old some of them are

Please tell me I'm not the only one drowning under a load of unwanted Baylis and Harding? Am I unreasonable just to be ruthless and get rid? I hate the environmental impact of it and will clean/recycle what I can, but it's taking over various cupboards in my house and with DC3 arriving at the end of the year I really need to get the place organised.

You have my permission to bite the bullet and toss any old, half-used items that are just taking up space.
Keeping them in your cupboards isn’t going to save the environment.
As you say, you’ve figured out how to stop it happening, so now you can clear out the things that are no use to anyone and move forward without it happening again.
