    All of them! But if I gotta pick...It has to be the perfumes. i even put a sample in each of the kids stockings! So far this year the best freebie is the old school photo from Rabbitx...really cheered me up! :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Lots of small samples were very welcome, but the one that DH and I enjoyed most was the one-day cricket match Lancs v. Yorks. The tickets were a freebie phone-in on Valentines day, so I'm going to keep an eye out this year as well!!
  • I had so many faves...
    • Glayva liquer.... I got 2 of those!:j
    • Cow&Gate Polar bear AND Cow!
    • Grolsch Glass :beer:
    • The Perfume Shop samples were FANTASTIC!! :T
    • Some Chocolate from somewhere- cant remember, scoffed it to fast!:p

  • I had some fantastic stuff too! Faves include -

    QYPE £50 Amazon voucher (was hard work to get, but worth it!)
    HDUK £2.50 Amazon voucher
    Perfume shop 8 samples, men and women - Armani Code, JPG Madame etc
    Loads of Nivea sachets, moisturiser samples e.g. Loreal
    Jordans Muesli sample
    Jelly Belly beans
    Free eye test at Tesco opticians - would have been £28 at my usual optician!
    Moneywise mag worth £4.25, which I really enjoyed reading

    Also had some good stuff to test and evaluate, from the survey sites...face wipes, 2 huge bags of Doritos, Mr Sheen, Airwick, sports insoles for the gym and a few more!

    Thankyou SO much to everyone who posted freebies in 2008...you're all stars! Hopefully I will be able to find some to post for you all this year, I will try my best!

    Well my fave's are £50 Amazon voucher from Qype, dvd's and gifts from ipoints which really helped with Christmas. Photobook and over 100 photos printed. A Durex play ring, Durex feel lubricant and loads of condoms. Solar desktop clock from carbon creditz and a mamas and papas brand new cot although it was from freecycle it was still a freebie.

    I got these too so many condoms too i priced it all up on tesco and was worth over 50 smackers!
    Also remembered the kids binoculars from ascot and the penguin dynamo torch from one of them green sites?
    Just so many i forget them!
