to say "Donate unwanted Xmas toiletries to Toiletries Amnesty"?

[NewNameforThisPost2025]

I have found the solution for all unwanted Christmas and birthday toiletries, including bath bombs. Give them to a charity called Toiletries Amnesty. Its aim is to tackle hygiene poverty.

Posting this in AIBU as a PSA because I think it has the most traffic.

You can also donate them to any local food bank.

Yes!

For any unwanted but new toiletries you have before Christmas, Mission Christmas / Cash for Kids is taking donations as gifts for kids who wouldn't get any, and they're particularly short of gifts for teenagers. They have a load of places you can drop off donations until the 18th. Details below

@JustWhatIAlwaysWanted thank you for this.... they actually have one local to me!!!

Our local Hospice asks for unused toiletries too, so there's another route.

Such brilliant ideas! I was shocked by the poster on the other thread who said she just chucked hers in the bin. There are so many people experiencing hygiene poverty.

Bumping so people see it!

We had our bath removed and a walk in shower fitted earlier this year so I emptied the bathroom cupboard and found 15 unopened bottles of bubble bath. They all got a new home in my local Tesco food bank box this week.

That's wonderful!

Bumping this as lots of people have received unwanted toiletries today.

Why, why would anyone, least of all an adult 44 year old daughter think bath bombs are a welcome gift especially when she knows I love books? I can't believe even charities want them but thanks for the shout out OP.

I love all mine but this is a brilliant idea so bumping!

Because peoples need to wash and it’s a relaxing way to have a bath (and read a book!)

Yeah anyone who just throws things away makes me so mad.

They do want them. Women's shelters have baths and the women there could do with some bath things. You could also give them to a food bank. Some people are experiencing hygiene poverty, per the link, and the bath products are very much wanted.

Good idea.
Or I sometines take to the women's refuge on my estate

So was I. I can't understand this mindset or her excuse of "finding the mental energy" to donate unwanted toiletries.

@NewNameforThisPost2025 I had never heard of Toiletries Amnesty before so thank you for posting again. Although, I never receive unwanted toiletries these days anyway.

I havent but my mum is always trying to palm hand cream off on me that she gotvfor oresents. Next time Ill take it and give it to something like this.

That's the reason charities want them I guess. They are welcome to mine 😂

If there is a Beauty Bank near you that’s also an option for donation 🙃

Another excellent idea!
