These are all things people have left behind that they don’t seem to want back. Trade/barter with the host who wants it.
Here’s what I’ve got:
A pair of black suede-ish Alfani loafers, size 9, worn once if at all.
Clothes to fit a seven-year old girl; capris and a sports-bra type thing.
A bottle of barely sprayed Dolce & Gabbana “Rose the one” (with box)
Several single runner’s socks
One pair of Victoria’s Secret red undies, unused
Bag of weird bath salts that are hell on the tub (but smell delicious)
One bag of very nice toiletries
Several nitroglycerine tabs
Several brooches of varying sizes and description
Box of Trojans, magnum size, one missing
One very large, very old, very tired brassiere
No kidding, I’ll take the condoms! I have a small “travel size” box (the concept of travel size condoms made me laugh in an unseemly manner in the drug store) in the medicine chest already. I think all birth control should be free anyway haha. And I’m the one that has to wash the sheets . . .
I just had a wonderful piece of serendipity (if that’s the right word).
A couple of weeks ago I had guests from Sweden. When they left, they left behind two Swedish magazines and a Swedish language novel.
My guests who have just arrived are also from Sweden and were delighted by the fact that I had supplied them with magazines and a novel in their own language.
I have an almost full bottle of Jack Daniels, lots of dry spaghetti, prescription sun glasses and a tshirt with a tiger on it. Why can’t everyone just leave beer behind
Update: I forgot that I also have a nice pair of readers–Foster Grant, +2.75.
And a recent guest “gifted” my magazine holder with about a dozen old magazines with the address labels cut out, including an Oprah magazine circa 2002. I’m not kidding.
Baffling!
I mail things guests forget quite a bit, gratis–including an iPad, medications, jewelry, an entire drawerful of forgotten lingerie…but these items were never claimed.
I’ll add a few:
Female undies and bra, uncertain provenance.
Car Window Washer Fluid.
2 pillows
1 towel
A driver’s license (and why won’t that person reply??)
GoPro headgear
Tom’s of Maine toothpaste
Bottle of cooking oil with paper towel stopper
Face cleanser
Dark gray vest
We have only been hosting since late February and have a growing pile of lost and found. Not a clue what to do with it all!
I had a smart phone left behind, panic from the owner!! She said she’d pay any postage to get it back within 24 hours!!The Post Office obliged but it cost £13.20, I posted it express Friday 13.00 hours, she received it 09.00 hours Saturday, that’s service! AND she sent me a cheque for £20.00, that’s gratitude!!
My normal procedure is to contact the owner first, if I have details! Not had so many esoteric items but beer, wine and flowers, from a wedding guest, all welcome!!
In exchange, I’ll send you the open bottle of soy sauce that my last guest left behind.
