Freebies and free stuff

Saying these free Post-It Neccessorize accessories over and over sure is fun. Well I guess “fun” isn’t the right word. More like “a small time waster to avoid doing actual work.”

Their site is crawling at the moment, so you may need to be patient.

So this free X-Acto blade is supposedly from their gold quality series. When I first saw that, I wondered if the gold buyers at the mall would buy it back from me too…

This free 2012 Joyce Meyer calendar is one of the rare freebies where you might receive junk mail. I get four or five letters from them throughout the year asking for … well, I have no idea as I always throw them away. I like to imagine they’re the only food my trash can will eat and then I make “nom nom nom” sounds as I toss them out.

I’m easily amused.

EDIT: And this one’s dead and gone…

A house doesn’t feel like a home unless there’s something on the walls. Maybe that’s why my office at work feels so empty: too little on the walls other than my many TPS reports.

So something like this free poster from the Asian Art Museum might liven it up. As if I didn’t have enough reasons to stay in my office all day at work…

Tonight while watching TV, I happened to notice this free coupon for a 2oz sample of Benjamin Moore Paint at your local Benjamin Moore dealer. Then, I got to wondering what I could do with 2 oz of paint. My short list included black paint to give my cat real tiger stripes, yellow paint to outline my body on the concrete outside my office window 3 floors down at work, white paint to change myself to a better parking space in my complex, or red paint to create a target on the wall to throw darts at while at work.

I’m leaning towards some yellow paint to confuse tourists…

(P.S. For some reason, this page didn’t work in Firefox for me, so just a heads up…)

Okay, I’m no marketing wizard, but humor me here. What do you think this free Quit Tea product would help you do? Quit drinking tea? Nope! Wrong! It’s a product to help you quit smoking. Obviously.

Its hard to believe that its already August again. I mean, this time last year? Well, so much has changed around the HIF offices.

But its nice to see that freebies like this free 2012 Women’s Health calendar don’t change. Yup, if you look through our archives, you’ll see this sucker has popped up the past few years (2010 and 2011), and it definitely comes through…

This will sadly have to replace my Chik-Fil-A calendar, seeing the nearest one is over 400 miles away…

Did I almost gloss over this offer for free Post-it Durable Tabs and Storage Container Labels because I assumed it was the same Post-it freebie I posted (I feel like I’m saying “post” too much) last week? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m not admitting to anything and there’s nothing you can prove!

Okay, okay, stop staring at me. I confess, I did. Can I go home now?

[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

These aren’t just sticky notes. These are free Post-it Super Sticky notes! My guess is they used a combination of crazy glue and whatever that sticky black goop under my steering wheel is.

There’s something about me and free pens. I’m still a loyal fan of those Uniball Super Ink pens thanks to their giveaway in 2010. Seriously, those pens are awesome. I sign my name on any contract I can just for an excuse to use the pen. At this point, I’m pretty sure my dog has Power of Attorney over me.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m excited over this free BIC Atlantis pen offer on Facebook. But here’s the thing: They’re only giving away 130 pens per hour between 10am and 8pm EST for the next 30 days. That might sound bad, but it comes to 42,900 freebies. So if you miss out today, just mark a random day in the middle of the month and you’ll probably have better luck signing up then.
