    A 'hand warmer' thats just a gel pack, with a coin inside ??? no idea..
    You bend the coin and it heats the pack! I used to use them at half time in football. When you break the coin the pack goes hot and hard - to 'reset' it you have to put it in a pan of boiling water.

    A poker chip to promote a film, sent out by Lovefilm - I don't play poker, and even if I did, why would I want one with advertising on it?

  • I think the perfume sample postcards are great, I put them in drawers to make clothes smell nice:T

    I got the Bird catologue as well, I scan pics out of it to use for birthday cards:j

    Just goes to show, one person's useless is another persons favourite freebie,lol!:D

    My worst freebie is the bravissimo catolgue that I ordered on a site(I'm a 34B and didn't have any need for it, just wanted the points!):rotfl:
