Unexpected free gifts in your order?

I received an order from a company called Wiggle last week - only a pair of swimming goggles and some earplugs for my son, but not only was the delivery free, but there was a little packet of jelly sweets in with them. Even though it was a tiny gift, it did have the intended effect of making me feel good about the company.

I also remember getting some free throat sweets with an order from Boots once. This made me wonder if this idea is quite common.

Has anyone else received any unexpected freebies as opposed to the ones you use a special code to get?

    I opened some junk mail at work from a company offering aircon systems for schools. it contained a plastic box with tiny mints in. Trouble was, they looked just like pills. Put me right off so i chucked them in the bin. They couldve been POISONED :eek:
