(I really, really hope they don't go with another round of "give this men's fragrance sample to a man in your life!" I have a weird conspiratorial suspicion that the men's stuff showing up in the plus-2s could be a way for them to test what men's samples get the least pushback when sent to a woman. I think pretty much anything *but* a fragrance could be given to the guys in my life. They are all very anti-men's cologne, but shower gel, shaving cream, hair goo, beard oil, unscented/mint/citrus hand cream? They would not hate that stuff, which is the best I can hope for when it comes to fancy grooming products with these dudes. It would have been cool if the Chapstick had been sent with the pass-it-along direction next month. Just about every guy I know is more than happy to receive Chapstick, especially in the winter. My brother once asked specifically for a Costco pack of the stuff -- original black label version, thankyouverymuch -- for Christmas, and our dad probably went through at least a couple of tubes a month before he retired since he was a timber cutter and outside in the sun/cold all day, every day. I would have kept it for myself, but that's a whole separate thing. Another pass-it-on idea, this time not for men: Two samples of the same, say, shower gel. Keep one for yourself, pass one on to a friend.)
I'm where you are. All the men in my life hate cologne. So the last two times I got them they went totally to waste. When it comes to skin care products, my fiance is always eager to try out the new things I get, though.
