sarahf191979

I was wondering if anyone new the best place to get toiletry samples from...anyone had some really good ones??

I'm starting to think about Xmas gifts:eek: , and was thinking of putting somelittle baskets together with my 7yr old and 4 yrs old for their teachers!!!

Any ideas on good companies to contact?

I have found that Dove are good. Sorry i don't have a link but they have been spoken about on this forum quite a lot so you may find links if you do a search.

I have also found that you can sign up for freebies from them every time they come up - there's no 'one offer per househould' lark.

To be honest i think it might just be a case of applying for bits as they come - also the boots machine comes up with the odd trial size freebie too.

Sounds like a good idea for pressies - have fun with it.

Hi

Eucerin and Nivea are owned by Bieirsdorf and freely give samples to different people in the same house. Just need a different email address. L'Oreal do this too.

Try writing complimentary letters / emails to companies whose products you like. I have received several vouchers without use by dates in this way. Could be a nice extra in the xmas bags.
Nivea, Eucerin, St Ives, Tresemme have all come up trumps!

Enjoy! Don't forget to check Home Bargains and £1 shops for handcreams etc on the cheap:D There's a good thread for Best Budget products on Health and Beauty forum where posters nominate the best buys, all details in 1st post.

Thank you for that info...greatfully recieved.

Last year it cost me a fortune in gift sets with the little one in nursery (8 members of staff) and the 7yr old had 3 members of staff to buy for.

will give the letter writing a try as well I think.

Try joining up to Simple City-they have sent out full size products to try, including really nice face wipes and handcream. Maybe worth a try? Theres enough time to give it a go!

Always worth asking at your local perfume stores if they have any samples available.

Usually September/October best time to ask at perfume counters in stores. I get loads from Debenhams and Boots. Good luck in your mission

Thanks for all the tips, I've written a few letter this afternoon and posted them. Hopefully will get a few bits and bobs. Have signed up on the websites as well

Thanks for all the replies.
