Well my husband was given some Lynx 'Africa' deodorant and shower gel, and it does smell very nice. I reckon they thought it suitable considering he IS African!
My stuff was mostly rose-perfumed, which is also very nice. Our neighbours all know I love flowers.
I reckon these gift sets were on sale as bargains just before Christmas, which is very sensible of the givers, as people round here don't have much spare cash.
But like you Jos, I wouldn't give someone deodorant as a gift! Hee hee!
