I wished upon a star tonight that I would see you once more,
To hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you,
To hear your voice, to kiss your cheek oh for just one more time,
But all I have are memories and a heart full of love and tears.

    I think your best bet would be to mass email online sites telling them about your challenge and inviting them to participate!!!! Actually receiving 60 freebies in that space of time is unlikely any other way.

    you could try sending emails to companies, something in the line of...

    " It's my ........ birthday and he loves ........ have you got any promotional items that you could send, to make his birthday is a bit more special."

    It's worth a try.

    Why not write to companies whose stuff you use saying how much you like their products and that as hubbie is approaching 60 is there any chance of a free sample.

    Hi Wendie - pm me your address and I will send you some free coffee and tea samples that I got from a link on the MSE forum (both by the way are delicious) - hope that goes someway to you achieving your goal - and if I get any different items free in post - will let you know. Also let me have your email and I will send you a link to get a free sample of lenor and a pashmina - I know the pashmina no good for your friends hubby - but your friend will like it - look forward to hearing back from you
