Freebies for charity event goody bag

sarahatenvision

This is a bit of a random one but! I am looking for donations, samples, anything free to include in a goodby bag for 150 16-18 year olds for an event they will be attending in November. So far we have some sweet products but we want to stay away from food really and we have some beauty samples but we are desparate for more - wrist bands, usb sticks, pens, bookmarks - or anything a bit more interesting for them! If anyone has any ideas I could really do with an imagination boost. If anyone has done this before then contacts at willing companies would be a bonus. Thanks x

pm'd a bg to move to the 'wanna board' as this is for listing freebies that people have found as opposed to asking for them.

You are looking in the right place Sarah, lots of Freebies here, all you have to do is look for them.

a local colleges or unis may donate pens or usb sticks with their logo

sexual health clinic will offer condoms and key rings

body shop will give samples,

local hairdressers called pkai hair gave me money off vouchers , pens and magazines,

lush will donate for charity

boots counters will donate free samples of vouchers that can be redeemed for free samples

try contacting companies such as herbal essenses and dove etc

you will be offering companies very cheap advertising aimed at a specific age group, ask all the shops in town if they have anything to offer for the goody bags, nail bars and hair dressers will fight to get their vouchers in . you will be doing these businesses a favour and nearly all businesses that you approach will want to be involved

I'll move this to the charities board, the regulars over there might have more advise to offer

Simple & Nivea are very good for giving out samples if you ask nicely!
