Joking aside. I know what you mean it is a shame as some are really too pretty to throw away.
I used to save them and they ended up in the attic so threw them all away several years ago. Like so many things.
we throw away and regret it later but we can't hold on to everything.

I was given about 8 really nice little delicate perfume bottles which gathered dust in a cabinet.

A friend who worked on the airlines gave me some really expensive perfume samples and I tipped them into the bottles and sold them for £10 each at the car boot sale.

Raid your/family and friends dressing tables for perfumes they don't use and recycle.

Put them on Gumtree, lots of people collect attractive perfume bottles. There are sections for all sorts of things on gumtree, freebies or to sell or buy.

Thanks for the ideas! Like you say little White Dove it seems a shame to dump them as they are quite pretty, but just no room for them!

Lots of people collect perfume bottles...
