Do you have display "products"?

I was really laughing at people having display towels a while ago, even more so when people DARED to use them. And then today i was tidying up before the cleaners came and I realised I have display products.

My mother bought me a ridiculous amount of Moulton Brown products (they were on sale) because she remembered i used them about 7 years ago. Sadly, i dont like them anymore so just displayed them all nicely in the bathroom whilst she was here.

8 months later they are still there happily showing themselves off to guests who i am sure would never dare to use them as none have been opened (i wish they would and i have encouraged their use).

Is this as sad as display towels? Am i turning into my mum? Should I buy some speical towels now and go the whole hog?

    Technically i don't have "display" goods, but in my bathroom i do have various bubble baths, bath bombs, etc all prettily wrapped that i just havent got round to using yet, they sit on the shelf and i just havent used them.

    I remember going to my great-nans flat when i was younger and we used to visit her friend who lived in the flat downstairs, she had a cooker that had never been used at all, she used to buy all her food from M&S and then i presume heat it up in the microwave (yuk). Funny thing was her son used to visit 3 times a week, yet never seemed to question why his mum had a brand new cooker but was eating ready meals and the like.

    Mrs M- I'am loving the idea of putting tampons etc in a small basket, will you decorate it too??

    This thread has certainly brightened up my boring day!

    That's precisely why I always look in people's bathroom cabinets ?

    My sil has a "display rug" slap bang in the middle of her living room- we are not allowed to walk on it, only around it!

    Every time we go there, we stand at the front door before ringing the bell and say to each other "don't tread on the rug" - it is a bit of a standing joke now!

    The only "display" items we have in our bathroom are the mickey mouse shampoos, shower gels and soaps taken home from the hotel when we went to Disneyland Paris - I want to either use them or bin them, but my son wants to keep them - I expect he will end up a "display bathroom" person!

    I think a plain white basket with tampons, sanitary towels, cotton wool and plasters would be perfect! ?

    I would also have little guest baskets with hotel slippers, paracetamol and mini toiletries in the guest room too. I was born to be Anthea Turner. ?
