Help needed to find free goody bag fillers

Im organising a charity funday. We are hoping to sell goodybags for a small fee (50p) to help raise money on the day.
We have 150 goodybags to hand out on the day, and ive been trying to find companys that could send me free samples. Ive tried the bodyshop, avon, Dove, Johnson and Johnson, all have said no.
Does anyone know where I may be able to get free samples?
Change4life are sending me the packs for children, but that's all so far :(
Any advice would be great xx

    It may be the selling of a bag containing free samples that's the problem, but could be worth trying L'Occitane and Boots. I'm thinking of another company, begins with G or J and I used to order online from them, but it's not coming to me ...

    Can you make the bags free with something else (50p entry fee or something) so companies may be more willing to contribute? What kind of charity is it? That might make a difference to the companies that would be interested e.g. for an animal charity you might get something from cat food manufacturers, an environmental charity might get something from water companies or local council's waste dept.
