Hi. I am a student who needs stationary stuff, does anyone know what companies send out things like pens for free?
I am also interested in free teaching resources for primary school as well if anybody knows where to get these?
I was also wondering how you ask for he free items as I don't want to seem rude...

Any help would be great! Thanksss

i dont think companies really give out free pens but if you happen to go to any events where there are lots of companies they normally have pens and pencils with their company name on.
if not poundlands sell stationary that is really cheap and good. 35 biros for £1 and they are good.

just been on holiday to spain and got the following freebies...........

1) free extra legroom seats (normally about £30 each) cos we checked in extra early at manchester airport

2) i didnt pay for meals on the flight and ended up with 2 free anyway as a couple of people who had paid didnt want them an i just asked if they had any spare going!

3) got a free flight blanket-always handy!

4) 2 days for the price of one on tickets for port aventura theme park-bonus!

5) 2 free queue jump passes for above worth about £10 each

I emailed Hipp organic inform them of a hair in one of the jars.
They were really quick to respond and ask for further info. They have investigated and sent me the results which were what i expected nothing! but as an apology they sent me £10 of vouchers:j
I was not complaining just wanted to let them know , very impressed with the way they dealt with it.

I wrote a letter of complaint and sent an offending jellified unpalatable lump from a dalepak cheese and onion crispbake. They had it analysed then sent me an apologetic letter and some vouchers for Grassington products. Fortunately the lump was just some product that hadn't been diluted properly.

I once cut a teacake open and bang in the middle was a mucky blue plaster. i got the teacakes from morrisons and all the manager did was get the head baker to come round and tell me he was sorry. I said that wasn't really good enough so he offered me a free pack of teacakes so I said I was insulted and he eventually reluctantly profferred £3 voucher.
