Great idea and a little self indulgence never hurts.

I always keep stuff from them on hand for just the same reasons. My daughter's love the stuff and so does my granddaughter. She got upset one day when we had to part after shopping with my husband and daughter (her mom), so to make her feel better, I let her pick out the fragrance of hand soap she wanted to take home. She was happy after that! I have a hard time keeping her out of my stuff when she comes over to stay with me! LOL

Great idea! I do that with rebates for free items (Freebates) at places like Walgreens & Rite-Aid as well. My little sister for about 3 years straight got a stocking or easter basket filled with Shampoo, Conditioner, Deodorant, razors, body wash, etc, and loved it. And I was paid to take it in most cases (you can use a coupon with rebate items at Walgreens, and get the full retail price back- so you get refunded the amount of the item if there weren't a coupon).

I get those cards in the mail from them too and I just received one for a free 2oz bottle of lotion. I'm going to go and buy myself some spray and hand soap and receive the free temptations sample and give it as a gift.

Great idea! You can also go to some of the Freebie websites and get free samples on shampoo, makeup, lotion, etc. Some of the items are full size.

I try to always take advantage of such things at B&BW. I am addicted to the Coconut Lime Verbena scent, and always have some on hand.

I used to buy other scents, too, like the Calgon scents and another (can't remember the name!) in the small purse and trial sizes and would use them to slip in care packages for anyone hospitalized or ill, and also in "goodie bags" that I'd make up for my daughter to give to her friends for birthdays and the like. Those goodie bags were always a hit.
