Gift sets.. Lynx etc

[JustAskingForAFriend]

Is it me or does anyone else find them tacky and overpriced.
As a teen I loved different sets but now when I see them I can't help but think £5 for a deo and shower gel which I can buy for £2 without packaging.
My teen ds loves his sprays etc but even he said mum they're quite expensive as it's the same inside.
I always do him a box up of his favourite ones with sprays, roll ons shower gels etc as he likes his own.
. I find the idea of the sets a thoughtless gift.
I have a younger sister who likes the Jack wills stuff etc and has asked for certain sets of it..
I'm sure some people love them which is obviously fine but anyone find the same as me that it's thoughtless.

I really don't think any teenager whose parents buy their deodorant and shower gel any way want to receive the same products as a present...

My son likes it as a hamper his request. He writes down certain fragrances of various makes etc. Normally with an added fragrance fof eau de toilette (sp) that all goes in the bottom of his sack

I hate them. I think they're just a way of people to "fill". I've specifically asked that no one buys us these as they don't get used. I asked in a nice way and my mum and mil understood.
