There is an approved proceedure here (regardless of what other companies have or have not approved!) and items should be provided to enable the rest to be of a good quality.
We operate on two crew operation annex flights of such long duration that this facility is necessary to keep the operation safe.
I agree that there should be no requirement to take the passenger items. There should be a set provided on the flight deck! It only means putting two extra items when the aircraft is serviced by the cleaners.
