Have you ever gotten freebies for someone else.

I recently saw a freebie for glucosamine, which I myself do not take, but I know my mum and dad do, it was a 30 day supply, so I ordered it and gave it to them. Do you ever get freebies that you think someone else might like? What was the last freebie you got for someone?

Personally I think from time to time, we all have done this at one time or another. I really see nothing wrong with it unless a person is using more than one account, etc. and getting all of these for everyone or in turn turning around and selling them. I know there are a lot of times I have passed on all Free stuff links even when it is things I could use, but ordering it for someone else could be a thought if they live close enough to me as well.

They haven't arrived yet (supposed to take 4-6 weeks) but I just signed up at all the infant formula companies for the free samples and coupons they give out to new moms. I'm not expecting but my stepson's girlfriend is. They only have part time jobs and need all the help they can get. We aren't financially well off enough to buy a lot so I figured getting free stuff for them would be perfect.

Sure I order them for my in-laws & my aunt when I see something they'd be able to use. Except I don't mail it to me I mail it their address. They also don't have access to the internet so when I see something they can use I order it you know like detergent or cereal samples.

I got a cat food sample in the mail one time. I don't know if I ordered it or not, but it came. I gave it to my next door neighbor who has cats. I have also gotten coffee samples that I did request. My husband and I do not drink coffee but my parents do, so I saved it for when they come over. I have also gotten formula samples and coupons for some reason I got on some expecant mother list. I gave them to a young mother.

I get a lot of freebies for friends/family. I often request thefreebies for my daughter and have them sent to her. And if it's something like a coupon booklet I normally order an extra one for my church, friends, and family,etc. I find it's a little something to brighten up their day :) ! Another great thingwhich I sometimes do with all the extra freebies I get and up not using is making gift baskets or pulling them all together and donating them to your local pantry...

I do get freebies that I know someone will be able to use even if I can't. I donate a lot to shelters and other organizations. There are a lot of free pet food samples out there and the animal shelters are always in need. I don't see a problem with getting the freebie is someone is going to be able to use it. I just don't want to get things and then have them sit around my house.

I often order things for my parents or sisters. Razors, lotions, coupons. The last one i got was one of the fusion razors for my dad. Then ordered a bunch of coupons for all of us.
