Aha! Their guests can use these personal size toiletry items. The photo shows just a sample of the things I\u2019m donating. Of course any homeless shelter would probably work, but it\u2019s nice to have a personal connection. If your home isn&#8217;t a hotel, maybe you could let go of many of these items too. (We also seem to collect shampoo from traveling guests who forget their stuff\u00a0 in our bathroom.\u00a0 We often don&#8217;t know who left it so we use it up ourselves. Maybe we do run a motel \ud83d\ude15 .)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I travel a fair amount, have a brother who is a dentist, and tend to hold on to stuff way too long.
