What Can You Do With Your Unwanted Perfumes?

Overdose on perfume no longer...

by Sam Qam

Overdose on perfume no longer...<br/><br/> To some people who save up all year to treat themselves to a special perfume at Christmas, the idea that you can have too many perfumes may seem a bit unusual. But for lucky people with either lots of generous friends or family, or a shopping addiction, there can come a time when you find yourself with extra perfumes which you would like to get rid of. Here are a few suggestions for places which can help you avoid having to throw them out: <br/><br/> Charity<br/><br/> Have you been in a charity shop recently? They are not just filled with old lady jumpers, crumpled businessmen's high-waisted slacks and costume jewellery...no they are stuffed to the rafters with some very nice stuff indeed. By giving your unwanted perfumes or aftershave to charity, you will not only be adding to the great stuff on offer, you will also help a needy charity.<br/><br/> eBay<br/><br/> If you need to make up for your excess spending you could easily sell your perfumes online on eBay or a similar website. If you haven't used eBay before, all you have to do is; set up an account on eBay and a PayPal account to manage your money online; take photos of your perfume bottles or boxes and upload them to your product page in your eBay account and write an inspiring description; select a starting price and deadline for the auction and then just wait for the bidding to roll in; finally when someone wins the auction, send them your perfume and see the cash pop into your account. Hey Presto!<br/><br/> Women's Shelters<br/><br/> If you happen to have a number of cheap fragrances which have already been opened, or you have used half of the contents, it is possible to hand your bottles over to women's shelters that look after women fleeing from violent or broken homes. This is a great way to avoid wasting perfume, and can put a smile on the face of women going through a difficult time. You can even provide them with bottles of mens fragrance too as they will know who to pass them on to. <br/><br/> Friends <br/><br/> Fragrances for women can be treated like clothes. You could lend or swap your perfume with a friend to let them 'try it on' for a while. Next time you come out of a shop with a perfume sale on and you think you have bought too much. Try maybe keeping some aside for birthday or Christmas presents. After all, there is only so much perfume you can wear over the course of the day. <br/><br/>
