As usual, my big brother gives us the other gifts when he leaves to go back to UK. Before he left yesterday (I was at the hospital), he gave these toiletries to my sister; my sister divided the items for me and my son. She has her own share too.
So, I and my son both have 2 tubes of toothpastes, but the shower gels are different from each other. My shampoo is to add more volume to my long hair, and my shower gel is the lavender type; the fragrance I have yet to smell later.
I think I will use these when my stock of local items will be consumed. I use the local Colgate, the local Patchouli bar shampoo, the local Cream Silk hair conditioner, and the local Safeguard. My son also uses all local toiletries.
My brother is the most generous among us siblings! He shares whatever he has to us; we do not take advantage of him, of course.
So, when he says he is going on tour with his friends, we say “go for it and enjoy”! But he also gives us tokens from the countries he visits on tour, which is why the glass cabinet is already full of tokens.
Raise the roof, my big brother. Take care and Bon voyage! See you in 2-3 months time.

no, my big brother is also a nurse like me. He worked in Kuwait 9he took me there), then he crossed the country to be in the UK, where he acquired his British passport. he tours around every now and then.

Crest tooth paste is no longer sold here in the local market; only imported ones are sold in duty free shops, in my knowing.

one profession my brother wanted to graduate from was Fine arts. he has the talent of sketching gowns and dresses for women. He is effeminate but he had some girlfriends before. he knows our tastes-I and my sister.

@SIMPLYD yes he is the most generous brother I have. when he came here, he showed me some pictures of big cars like Innova and others. he asked me if I can drive power steering car. I told him I prefer manual steering. He is coming back this march or April because he wants to buy a new car. he also always tells me to be careful when driving.

well, I have already tried several of these items before, but being 'patriotic and nationalistic', I prefer the local brands. Hahaha! I notice that the imported shampoos like Clairol herbal shampoo is harsh and hard on my hair; instead of making it soft, it gets my hair all tangled up.
