Hi, 

I'm organising an awards party for my local running club and we have around goodie bags for each of the 60 guests. I'm wondering if there are any companies who would provide some small, fun samples free of charge?

    Possibly, but you're going to have to do the hard work of approaching companies. 

    We used to have the Work Perk at a previous place, they used to send periodic 150-200 free samples to the office for various things with the idea we were supposed to give some feedback after. You had little control over what's received (you could simply decline certain things) and we typically got one product every couple of months... weird flavours of kitkats always went down well but the Bud Zero had to be thrown away as literally couldn't give it away. 

    Have some thick skin though as many will ignore you or tell you that you should be buying.
