Options
What do you do with the body lotion that is always included in gift sets?

I hate the idea of wasting them!

    What do you mean? Why not just use them as a body lotion? Do you want an alternative way to use them?

    Hi
    If you don't like that particular body lotion, why not regift it. Just remember who gave it to you in the first place! :D

  • For me the best part of a gift set is the body lotion! It only takes seconds to slap it on your arms and legs after a shower or bath and makes my skin feel a lot better. I really think you should try it before giving it away!

    I shove some on then put on clothes/PJ's I don't mind getting the cream on and just let it soak in. Don't do it as often as I should but does make my skin feel better.
