    Don't know about writing to them, but when I was in New York I stayed in a W Hotel (I used to have money!). All their minatures were made by Aveda. My skin was a bit dry so I asked for an extra little body lotion for my journey home. Next thing, I had a maid at my door with a carrier bag full of Aveda goodies! x
    Gone ... or have I?
  • I have bought lots from ebay very cheaply but never had any free apart from when i was staying in a hotel.

    What an amazing result! :D

    I have always found service in USA hotels to be good. When I stayed In Arizona they wanted to keep all of their conferences guests on the same floor, so they asked if we would mind moving rooms. We didn't mind and for that we got a free night's accomodation and a goody basket including a large, pint sized cup, teas, coffees and jams.

    Sorry OP doesn't help you. Maybe write to the suppliers of the toiletries?

    :confused: i was thinking the same while reading the post! little scaled down wedgewood models of the hilton came to mind.
    ...Now that would be a good little gimmick for them to giveaway.

    i would maybe ring up each manufacture stating your going away and your having difficulties in getting any minatures of what ever product and if they can source one for you you would be so grateful blah blah as you only use their product blah blah if they think your cheeky then request they send the empty containers. i guess thats maybe why you want some? as you can always refill them up again from your larger bottle at home for future trips.

    It's worth a try - I think. Depending on how good you are at blagging....whoops I mean the art of gentle persuasion ;) you may well end up with some.

    Good luck!
  • mini bar minatures came to mind
  • i have to ask...what are you looking for them for?
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
