I got a set of this for Christmas and now I don't know what to do with it.

The body wash smells too strong and the moisturising lotion leaves little sparkly things on my skin :-( It's supposed to be a thing people enjoy. But not me. Strong smells upset me and make me feel kind of disoriented.

It's a good one too, I am familiar with the brand.

Maybe I can give it to someone else for a gift?

If it looks brand new you could give it to someone. I just give mine to my mum, she's in to smelly things.

Make sure you don't tell anyone you don't like it. I received a bath set from a friend once and she told me a couple of weeks earlier that she didn't like this particular fragrance. So I know it was an unwanted present and was disappointed she didn't buy me something.

Maybe you know a kid that would like it. Something that smells good (although too strong for you) and something that has sparkles! Or even if you pass it along to another adult, just tell them it isn't your kind of thing and make sure they won't get back to the original giver. If it does, tell them it was lovely but you are sensitive to it and you wanted it to be enjoyed.

Give it to a local homeless shelter. They are always asking for donations of soap and things. somebody might really appreciate having the bath set!
