Please help me find Freebie stocking fillers for a man!

Hola freebie-hunters.

I'm hoping you can help me, I'm putting together a Christmas Stocking for my OH (31 y/o male) and have no money to spend on it. We've agreed a budget of £30 and I've already spent that on his main presents! He'll go mad at me if I spend more and anyway we can't really afford to.

I don't mind doing a bit of work i.e. going to shops asking for samples or making things but it has to be of present quality so 3ml face cream sachets are probably a bit rubbish.

So far I've got:

Becks Vier glass (well, hoping it arrives in time!)
Star Wars Lego (Daily Mirror -my work buys the paper anyway)
Photo Calendar of our most recent holiday (got a freebie as was buying photo xmas cards)
Photo frame (an old ikea wooden one that I have decorated myself)

I am looking for around 10 things so any more suggestions would be greatfully received.

Cheers!

PS has anyone noticed that there are way more freebies for girls? Am also doing a stocking for sis but have almost got enough stuff already!

  • Probably too late to get anything from but Nivea for men are quite good to blag samples off that might do. sign up for email here

    http://www.niveaformen.co.uk/meta/contact.html

    or use their contact form stating that your hubby has sensitive skin and is on the lookout for new products, have they any samples they could send to help.

    Hope this helps!

  • Probably too late for this year, but you could register with Jack Daniels, they send freebies out now and again, you could put them away for next year.
    We've had a calendar, cufflinks, keyring, a passport holder and a hip flask.
    (I use the passport holder for keeping my coupons in) :xmassmile

    Sorry I haven't got a link.
  • Great minds think alike, we must have been typing this post at the same time.
