    Didn't get any Christmas ones ourselves, but if i had i wouldn't be binning it, as you simply don't know what could happen in the future. Have a feeling we may see face masks become more common after this anyway in flu season.

    I'd wash, put in plastic bag and put in with decorations. Masks aren't going away. There has been next to no incidence of flu this season despite a drastic reduction in vaccines available. I can see an element of mask wearing being required for a long time.

    That's exactly what I'm doing with mine, Caranica. They are going away with the 'soft' Christmas things, like Christmas stockings, jumpers and so on. :)

    I also forsee an element of mask wearing for the next while; especially on public transport. When you think of the difference between cold/flu levels this winter with masks/sanitiser in use, they really help stop the spread of germs!

    I threw mine out! I agree we will probably need them next Christmas but it’s an excuse to buy new ones :D

    Same with ours. Got packed away with all the other Christmas clothes.

    If we need them again great, if not even better.
