So I bet you thought this was going to be some serious blog post full of personal information about how I feeling alone. Or something. WRONG. You should know better by now.
This is about sample hoarding. You know the samples you get at Sephora when you order online? What do you do with them? It appears that we all do the same thing with them. We hoard them. Last night I was talking to people I have never met in real life chatting with my friends and we discovered that I wasn’t alone. We all do it. I had thought it was just me until it asked if anyone turns down the samples. A few crazies do, but for the rest of us it’s very important to collect the samples. Very important. In fact, more thought is put into those selections than is put into most decisions. Do I want the Coach Poppy perfume I’ll never use or the Philosophy skin cream I’ll never use. Decisions, decisions. I’m not sure what we all plan to do with these samples, but maybe a sample trade is in order. I’ll trade you my tan towels for your deluxe size Kiehls samples. Done! I also appears that we all hoard hotel products as well. Mini H20 Plus shampoos? Yes please! And I learned that some hotels have / had Hermes samples (say what??), while others give away silver plated toothbrushes. Amazing. I need to start saying in better places. I think it’s amazing when you get slippers and have a collection of them at home. Do I wear them? No. I save them. Because they are too good to use. Like all my product samples. What if I want that Duwop Lip Plump for a wedding in two years that I haven’t been invited to yet? You just never know. Better save it!
So do you save all the free samples to get / steal? If not, what exactly do you do with them?
