Hey, it’s the source of those 18 tiny shampoo bottles and bars of soap in that bottom drawer

Adverbs of degree

Yep, I’m talking about hotels and all the stuff we like to take from them, even if we

But be careful there, sticky fingers – you’re technically only allowed to take certain things!

Let’s start off with the stuff you’ve already been taking home for years...

Soap and lotion This is probably the only thing you can find

in any hotel regardless of the price range.

That bar of soap is there for you and only you to use.

The next person who stays in your room will obviously get a new one.

Same goes for any lotions or hand creams.

Those are nice for the dry air on the plane trip back home!

Shampoo and conditioner If these items are branded with the hotel’s

logo, they actually want you to take them!

It’s a hotel's sneaky way of advertising itself because many people bring them home

to place in guest bedrooms or give away to friends.

Toothpaste and mouthwash Feel free to take your Barbie-sized toothpaste

Some hotels also provide travel-sized toothbrushes for guests, probably because that’s the

And forget about the guest bedroom – these minis come in handy for your carry-on.

Or, ya know, when you’re running late for work and realize you forgot to brush your

Shaving cream and razors Hey, if the hotel so kindly left you some

shaving stuff, kindly accept the gift, even if you packed your own!

But if you’re about to get on a flight back home, check your airline’s regulations about

having aerosols or razors in your carry-on.

Free stuff is cool and all, but you don't want to get an extra pat-down at security!

Even if it wasn’t, the deodorant is yours to keep!

Ok, enough toiletries – let’s get into the good stuff!...

Sewing kit This thing is a real lifesaver for frequent

But it might be hard to find a small sewing kit that won't take up much space in your

Don't miss your chance to take these teeny weenie ones from hotels!

Shoeshine kit Such kits usually include black shoe polish,

Not many hotels have this item in the rooms, but you can ask for it at the front desk and

Shower cap Experienced travelers know a pretty cool trick

for your next trip: while packing your stuff, simply put your shoes in a shower cap to make

sure dust or dirt on the soles of your footwear won't get on your clothes.

Plastic bags Just like a shower cap, they can come in handy

for organizing the stuff in your luggage.

For example, if you don't want to mix your clean clothes with the dirty ones, then throw

the soiled garments in those plastic bags most hotels provide.

You can also use them to protect your clothes from any bottles in your suitcase.

But any other hair tools you find in a hotel room, like a hair-dryer or straightener, shouldn't

Stationery Ever notice how when you need to write something

That's why most hotels provide you with pens, pencils and notepads.

Again, they want you to swipe the stationery – they’ve plastered their logo all over

it, and you know, you’re going to lose that pen somewhere!

And of course if you actually don’t move it, then it’s stationary stationery.

Envelopes While you’re stocking up on writing utensils,

go ahead and throw the envelopes in your bag too.

It’s one of those things you always forget to buy even though you need it more often

Who cares if your holiday cards come in an envelope with some hotel’s name on it?

Magazines and newspapers You can grab any reading materials the hotel

Again, they’ll be nice on the plane trip back home, especially if you don’t have

However, some magazines might have special stickers on them, which means they must stay

Coffee, tea, and sugar If your hotel provides stuff to make warm

beverages right in the room, then don't hesitate to take the tea bags, coffee pouches, and

Just make sure those items aren’t part of the mini-bar – otherwise, you'll have to

And…You can’t take the coffee machine or tea kettle… bummer…

Coffee mugs Strictly speaking, guests aren’t allowed

to take the mugs from their rooms or from the dining area.

But if you really like your hotel coffee mug, steal it while they ain’t lookin’!
