Freebie hamper challenge

[Sophia1984]

Hi everyone,
Wondering if you can give me a hand. Every year me and my siblings put together a hamper for our parents' present. I am rather short on funds this year (maternity leave) and as well as making some things (though this may be hard with a 4 month old attached!), I thought it would be fun to try and find lots of nice food bits for free or on offer. Has anyone seen any nice samples you can send away for? I'll also share anything I find on this thread so it can be a resource for others.
Thanks!

You can get all sorts of nice European stuff in pound shops or bargain shops at this time of year.

The Boots 3 for 2 has some food gifts (Nandos stuff so for the spicier palate)

Fudge, peppermint creams and shortbread are all quick, easy and relatively cheap to make
