I've a drawer full of small bottles of shampoo conditioner body lotion etc that I can't resist taking. I don't know why I take them cos I always take my own with me so it's not as if they are going to come in handy. I am a bit selective though they have to be a decent brand, was in London last weekend and got a nice selection of Molton Brown ones to add to my collection!!!

I always take things like soap and shampoo as they come in handy when away for a few days elsewhere. I've also still got the little sewing kit which was in my cabin on a cruise.

Always grab paper and pens -mainly cos I usually forget to take any on hols. & can never find one to write something down on-like email addys of people we meet on holidays -my OH "collects" the little individual wrapped soaps -she has quite a collection on the bathroom shelf :rofl
Reading Aslemma's post -we also have a couple of those sewing kits hidden in the wife's handbag -amazing how often a button comes off a shirt on holiday!!

Depends what the hotel goodies are. Our last hotel in Thailand had various Roget and Gallet soaps, shampoos and moisturisers so Mrs Sunbear had those. I got the impressive folding brush and comb and sewing kit and shoe shine kit. We have a large collection of soaps and pens as well.

I have never thought about taking anything from the hotel other then an empty wallet and dirty clothes.

Plastic shower caps. Good for waiting for the deep conditioner to work without it running down your neck.

Forgot about the shower caps I use these when I dye my hair

Shampoo, but I've got friends who have taken everything from towels to the Bibles.

Bibles !!!! :que

..however,reminds me of the time I saw someone being searched at Gatwick on return - there were towels on the Customs table which had obviously been wrapped around some bottles...with the name of a hotel featured prominently on the towels :rofl

Fair enough the little shampoos etc, but to me anyone taking towels etc is a thief - no doubt about that in my mind. I've been poor enough in the past, but never desperate enough to steal things from anywhere. :( .

In some hotels I have stayed at- there is a letter on the hanger the bathrobe is on with its cost if you want to take it home. So I would assume that folks have taken them in the past.

I can understand the complimentary soaps, shampoos etc, but to take towels and bibles goodness me that's something else.

Bath robes Fiona, you obviously stay in a lot more upmarket places than I can afford :D

I take any shampoos, soaps and shower gels that we have opened on the basis that they are just going to be binned otherwise.
