Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: This is now charging S&H?

This free Lipstock Chapstock is just a weird name for some new chapstick, but I’m still not sure if I’ll use it. The tube it comes in looks just like lipstick and while I’m comfortable with my masculinity, I’m not sure if I’m that comfortable. I can just picture it now: I’m talking to some girl, pull this out of my pocket and hey, where are you going?

I’m not saying that you should leave out your phone number and e-mail address for this free WellCare tote bag, but unless you’re in the market for a new Medicare provider, well…you get my drift. I think I’ve got a few more decades before I qualify, so I think I’ll just take the tote bag and do my part to make a little less garbage.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

These free sports cards will make for a fantastic stocking stuffer if they get here in time for Christmas. Otherwise, I’m sure they’ll make a good Happy Second Tuesday of January present or at the very least a great Happy Groundhog Day gift. What, y’all don’t celebrate those holidays?

In case you’re having trouble with this freebie, simply add it to your shopping cart and proceed to check out. It’ll let you bypass the payment screen, so all you need is an address and e-mail.

EDIT: Looks like they’ve deleted this freebie.

Question: What is the worse thing to realize you left behind at home while stopped at a random gas station 5 hours into an 8-hour roadtrip? Possible Answers: 1) Your luggage 2) Your luggage 3) Your freaking luggage. Yep… I was so busy packing for all my siblings and dreaming of turkey dinner, I forgot to put my bag of clothes and toiletries in the car this past Tuesday. My siblings could have benefited from having this free orange safety hat when I made this little discovery, because I turned into a tornado of fists, kicks, and expletives.

Don’t worry, I calmed down soon afterward once I realized that I’d soon be with friends and family for Thanksgiving and that’s all that really matters. But man oh man, it sure would be nice to be able to change out of these jeans sometime soon!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’ll be posting sporadically over the weekend, but will be home by Monday and back to our regular schedule of posting freebies.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! Yup, you’re looking at the clock right and its 8am on the east coast, or just about 7am where I am in Illinois, and of all people in the world, I’m up. Why? Because the turkey that I’m in charge of cooking is still a frozen fourteen-and-a-half pound rock so its getting a cold water bath for the next 5 to 6 hours with standard dethawing directions.

Needless to say, its the perfect time for these three free Restaurant.com $10 giftcards. See, they’re giving away anyone who signs up for them 3 a day for anyone you want to send them to, and you can do that daily till Christmas!

So while I could give these out to my Mother and my Mother-In-Laws one day and my aunts the second day? Well, if that turkey is still a frozen rock, maybe my wife will give me three and I’ll give her three and we’ll just go out for dinner and have some turkey tomorrow…

Out of the generosity of Oprah’s heart, she’s giving us all…

No, not a brand new car. Just these Christmas songs as free downloads on her site for the next 48 hours:

Faith Hill – “Joy to the World”
Tony Bennett – “I’ll be Home for Christmas”
Il Divo – “O Holy Night”
Josh Groban – “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”
Brian McKnight – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
Amy Grant – “O Come All Ye Faithful”
Harry Connick Jr. – “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”
Aretha Franklin – “Silent Night”

Oh well, I could have used a new car, but I guess these mp3s will have to do… Even Oprah gets hit with hard economical times and has to resort to cheaper giveaways too, I guess…

I’m glad that when the wife and I went to the store last week that I remembered that we needed trash bags. Otherwise? Well, lets just say I’d have to clean up after thanksgiving dinner tomorrow whenever this free Glad ForceFlex trash bag came in the mail.

What? I could just go out and buy some more while I’m waiting? But that would be too easy!

EDIT: Sorry folks, this one turned out to be a fake…

If I had myself a Hanukkah bush at my apartment, I might find a use for this free Christmas ornament that comes with the Mountain Travel Sobek catalogs… Though, the trips that the catalogs suggest are pretty nice too…

Now all I need to do is find a place to put a glass ornament that two cats can’t get at it…

When I was a kid, my favorite Matchbox toys were those that had moving parts. That and I had a back end mover toy that was just awesome! With all of those hinges and moving parts, there was nothing that it couldn’t do!

The only thing that would make this free Caterpillar K family dozer poster any cooler would be hinges. That, or if they gave me a free test drive. Caterpillar, you guys can go to the about page and e-mail me on my site! Please? You’d make me really happy…

Oh, I’m such a big little kid…

This free glow stick is pretty much just a flashlight and a whistle, right? Sweet, I’ve been looking for something new to annoy my siblings with. Don’t be fooled by the “Outdoors” category I’m filing this under – it’ll work great in a little brother’s bedroom at 5am!
