a whole bunch of avon stuff

[novicewetshaver]

i got a bunch of avon stuff from one of my gma's, she was doing some spring cleaning and getting rid of all the old stuff she no longer used, not sure what years this stuff is from, but a lot of smells of powder to me

still got another box to go through

I know most of those probably say cologne on them, but back then, that was a unisex term. Most of what you have is women's perfume. Only a few of those bottles are men's aftershave or cologne. That last box looks more promising.

That last box looks more promising.

That George Washington bottle of Tribute should go in the rotation now.

So i was trying to decide what to do with all the ladies avon products, i was thinking about just throwing them out i really have no use for them. Would anyone still use any of these products or decanters/perfum bottles. there is some unopened stuff as well.

Yes people still use it. You could always donate it to goodwill (tax write off) or try to sell it on eBay.
