The thing is, as much as we'd like to consider buying that 50th bathroom rug or soap dish, we're just not going to. We're not a hotel or spa resort. We wish we were. But, we're a house. We've got a few bathrooms, a couple showers. If we're lucky, we've got a bath. So please, just stop sending them. Our garbage-recycling bins are already full (from Crate and Barrel catalogs).
