Freebies and offers

[Freyathecatt]

Morning!

Another sleeplesss night so i thought i'd ask for the benefit of your expertise. I know loads of companies offer freebies when you get pregnant, so far i've had the Bounty packs, Emma's diary packs and some bits from Johnson and Johnson that just appeared (!) but what other free stuff have you managed to get? I know a lot of it is tat but my husband has discovered the joys of Palmers cocoa butter now and his skin has never been softer!

Or, what other websites should i sign up to to for good deals and offers?

Thanks very much.

Boots parenting club, you get a free change bag or used to, tesco, asda etc send you vouchers.

cow and gate give u helpful dvds on breastfeeding and a soft toy cow when you have the baby. apemal send you a toy too. some of the nct nearly new sales give you freebees i got sudocream testers etc

How do u get the boots changing.bag? Cus i signed up but havnt recived it yet :(

You get a voucher through the post then get the bag instore. I think.

yes boots parenting club not just for free change bag but also money off coupons. mothercare baby club also give money off coupons as do Babies R us. Hipp organic if you register online when your baby is ready to start weaning they send you coupons and a free spoon. Aptimil online send uou free little polar bear cuddly toy if you register.

Check with the council to see if they offer any incentives/freebies to do with washable nappies.

If you're in london the link is here and you get a voucher for about £60 towards the cost. :)

I've been very careful not to sign up to free things. It means I miss out on samples but I'd rather not be getting crapola from these companies for years to come - I know quite a few sell your info onto third parties (which might not even be pregnancy related) and I already get quite enough PPI insurance calls thanks.

Just be careful they're not going to sell your info on when you sign up.

I agree with weeblueberry and I've only signed up for Boots / Tesco / Sainsburys baby clubs as they all have my details already as I have loyalty cards.
So far I haven't really had much from them;
Boots = double advantage points, few vouchers
Sainsburys = vouchers (mostly for stuff my local store doesn't stock!)
Tesco = vouchers and parent/child parking sticker

I would however recommend the free trial of Amazon Family - free next day 'prime' delivery, money off codes for various baby things, and £10 off £50 voucher useful for big purchases (I used it to buy a baby bjorn carrier). If you keep it after the free trial it's £50 for a year, but comes with another £25 voucher!
