Lots and Lots of Body Lotion!

Options
I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I have been having a clear-out and I seem to have loads and loads of body lotion that I just dont use. Most of it has come from gift sets so has a lovely fragrance but its just not something I use.
Has anyone got any suggestions of what I could do with it? Ive heard its really good for shaving legs with but if anyone has anything else then that would be great!
Thanks

    I give all my unwanted hotel toiletries to my local homeless centre. They really appreciate them.

    I put mine into dispenser bottles near each sink/basin, I even keep one in the bedroom and rub a bit into my hands as I pass! For some reason I'm more likely to use it than when I have to unscrew and rescrew a bottle cap.
    I find this way that it does get used (I've also told visitors to help themselves!) and the lovely smells are a bit of a treat during a busy day. :)
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
    Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

    I keep some in the bathroom to use on loo roll for an instant wet wipe. Safer for the plumbing system too.
