Would you give lotions and soaps to Goodwill?

Donate. You can also take unopened lotions and stuff like that to womens' shelters.

Donate, but our Goodwill doesn't take them. Our food banks and shelters do, though.

FYI.....BBW allows you to exchange scents even without a receipt.

Thanks for this. I had no idea. On a couple if occasions I have gotten something really nice as a gift but in a scent that I did not like.

Maybe you could organize a scent swap in the teacher's lounge. There have to be plenty of others who are in the same boat and have scents they don't like.

If you see it at the thrift store, you can donate it - otherwise, a woman's shelter would be a good bet.

The opened stuff you tried once and didn't like you can give away on freecycle. I see things like that offered all the time and they're always snatched up quickly. Even sample sizes.

Women's shelter or homeless shelters would love to have the new products (That's what I did with all the stash I got for free during the heyday of CVS-ing. They were thrilled).

Donate to local shelter or Goodwill - absolutely! 

Never seen stuff like that in GW but I love the women's shelter idea.

I would more than likely trash them at my house, but I like the idea of donating.

Our local VA Hospital loves donations like that. The nursing homes do too.

If you're around Cali, we'd love to have donations like that. I and a couple of friends have a Princess Project in the Philippines that helps girls in high poverty areas develop/regain their self value and we'd welcome donations of used but presentable girls clothing, lotions and bath soaps and other toiletries. We started with letting them do crafts and giving them hot meals and now expanding what we can do for them. The other week we requested clean water from the local fire station and helped the girls get cleaned up.
