Free Peacock Feathers

Goob — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 22:48:17 +0000

EDIT: Aaaaaaand it’s dead.

Most of my friends are astronomically more creative than myself, so these free peacock feathers from East End Acres are for them. All you have to do is create an account, click “promo,” add the feathers to your cart then check out. Also, it shouldn’t ask for a credit card number since you’ll use the free promo cash they give all new members.

Now to figure out what to do with mine. Can I finger paint or draw stick figures on them? Because that’s pretty much all the artistic ability I posses. I don’t even know what noise peacocks make or else I’d stick them in my hair and pretend to be one, much to the annoyance of everyone within earshot!

Free Pro and Anti President Obama Stickers

Goob — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:17:17 +0000

Please don’t make me regret posting these. The only approved topics for the comments are how much you love HIF and how awesome Hiffers are. That’s it.

There’s a free 2012 President Obama reelection bumper sticker available while the GOP is offering a free #WeCantWait NObama sticker. Get one, get both, get neither, I really don’t care. Just don’t make me have to moderate the comments for the next few hours and I’ll be thrilled.

Free Bosch Oscillating Blade

Goob — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:21:29 +0000

EDIT #3: (isn’t this fun…) The box has been removed and the sign up form is crashing. I’ll keep checking, but I think we Hiffed this.

EDIT #2: I found another link. Click on the yellow “Free Blade Offer” box in the lower left.

EDIT: Link has been fixed. That was weird.

Look, I know the holidays can make us all a little crazy. But please promise not to use this free Bosch oscillating blade to do anything stupid, okay?

Free Birthday Greeting Card

Goob — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:53:18 +0000

I think the faux wood is what makes the card above fantastic.

Tiny Prints is giving away a free birthday greeting card today as long as you ship it to your house. If it’s sent anywhere else, you’ll have to pay $0.44 for postage. Use code FREEBD at checkout and you’ll be all set.

Free Revlon Sunglasses from Sears Optical

Adam — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 08:47:01 +0000

Edit: Hiffed

I think that if I had a pair of these free Revlon sunglasses from Sears Optical, I could pretend that my exercise bike in our living room is Cartman’s three-wheeler and I could tell the world to respect my authority…

Free Norma Kamali 3D Glasses

Adam — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 08:57:07 +0000

As if it wasn’t enough that I dressed up as Matt Smith for Halloween–with a throw-back to Tennant’s Chucks–I now am glad that I found these free Norma Kamali 3D glasses to make my next year’s costume a little more like David Tennant.

Now, just to order that sonic screwdriver pen…

Two Different Free Water Test Kits

Adam — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 08:37:47 +0000

My wife swears that she can taste the difference between different types of water. So now, with two different water test kits, I might just have to try her. I can first try using this free Diamond Crystal salt water test kit to see if she can tell the difference between tap and filtered tap. Then afterwards, I think I’ll use this free Morton Salt water test kit to see if she can tell the difference between Aquafina and Dasani. I’m sure that they’ll probably read so close to the same on both kits that it won’t even be funny.

It won’t make a difference eitherway. After 4 different water taste tests, I’m sure that I’ll be sleeping on the couch with the fat cat for the rest of the week…

Free Water For Elephants Audiobook

Adam — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 08:15:09 +0000

I used to be an amazingly avid reader. Not that I’m not anymore, but I don’t read nearly as much as I used to. With my hour commute everyday, I should do more, and I should definitely listen to more audiobooks.

But, with this free Water for Elephants audiobook, I might have to change my current streak. Sure, I needed to create an account and download their software, but that’s because I didn’t want to just air-stream it to my Kindle. I was feeling lazy, and not like reading. Sort of like an audiobook versus a book.

I’d get to listening to this one earlier, but after adoring the book when I read it a little over a year ago, well, I’m alright just bypassing it for a while…

Free Movember Promotional Items

Adam — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:05:12 +0000

At work they were surprised when I flat ironed my hair and came to work with an awesome comb-over/straight hair a la Matt Smith. Yup, the guy with the crazy curly afro was able to pull it off in an amazing Galifreyan way.

That makes me think that the next thing I need to do is grow a mustache, then register and participate in Movember so I can grab this free Movember promotional kit with its wristband, buttons, and posters.

Why not? I mean, I’ve already tried most hairstyles known to man-kind…

Free 6 Month ANA Membership and Magazine

Adam — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:11:55 +0000

If you were to ask me what a Numismatist was about 15 minutes ago, I would have assumed it was something to do with someone’s nose. But now learning that its coin collecting, I can consider myself one of those and nose some nasal guy. I mean, you should see the jars of coins that I collect to use in claw machines.

Somehow, though I think this free 6 month ANA membership and magazine subscription is a little different than my obsession with winning that stuffed ninja turtle from the Fred Meijer by my house…

Free Art in a Box Button or Sticker

Adam — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 20:30:38 +0000

When I saw this free Art in a Box button offer, I first thought of a cat in a hat, then I got hungry for some green eggs and ham… My mind works like that. © Hey, It's Free!™ LLC. All rights reserved. Originally published for Hey, It's Free! as Free Art in a Box [...]

Free Stainless Steel Money Clip

Goob — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:15:18 +0000

EDIT: This offer is now dead.

DailySteals is offering a free stainless steel money clip to anybody who likes them on Facebook today. Thank goodness this freebie will be alive for another 10 hours instead of dying immediately after I hit the Publish button. It’s nice peace of mind while I shake this hangover and figure out why this keyboard is so freaking loud. (Thanks for all the kind words yesterday as well!)

If you signed up for the Colgate mini-brushes the other week, then you shouldn’t even have to go through the Facebook part. Just log into your DailySteals account, confirm your address, then try to find a $20 bill to cover up the stack of ones you have.

[thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Free African Conservation DVD

Adam — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 07:36:39 +0000

EDIT: They’ve run out of DVDs.

I’d say that I signed up to get this free African conservation DVD because I want the real wildlife experience, but I that would be a lie. Every morning I get that when I wake up with my fat cat on my chest, staring me in the face, waiting for me to get him some more food…

Free Rick Steves Tour Calendar and DVD

Adam — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:58:21 +0000

I don’t know who Rick Steves is, but I figure he’s some long lost relative of Rick James. You know, the whole “two first name” thing.

So maybe when I get this free Rick Steves DVD and 2012 Tour Calendar, I’ll know who he is and where to find him. And if he wrote that song “Superfreak” after-all…

Free Zombie Posters

Adam — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:28:54 +0000

EDIT: You can download a .pdf file, but they’ve run out of traditional samples.

Sometimes, I can’t believe the freebies that are out there. Take these free zombie posters from the CDC. Yes. THE CDC. I don’t know what’s cooler: the fact that our government has created and released these posters, or the fact that they have a whole page of their website dedicated to the zombie apocalypse.

The only downside to this freebie, other than the fact of our own government acknowledging the upcoming zombie apocalypse and declaring subtly to beware? The fact that it’ll take 4-6 weeks to arrive, so it won’t be here in time for Halloween. I mean, sure, I can download and print them, but that wouldn’t be my tax dollars at work!

Free “How Do I Become President?” Educational Poster

Adam — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 07:04:53 +0000

There would have been a time that I would have really wanted this free “How Do I Become President?” poster. Now? I’m looking for the “How Do I Become Supreme Dictator of the World?” poster.

What can I say? I’ve grown up and just simply stopped underachieving.

Free Aeroshot Energy Sample

Adam — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:08:04 +0000

I hate jumping through hoops. Seriously. I prefer freebies that are one-click and done. I’m impatient like that. Next, I’d prefer they anti-matter transport the freebies so that I don’t have to wait for the postman.

So when I found this free Aeroshot energy sample freebie, I was first elated. Then, after submitting myself for a code request, I had to wait 4 hours for that code, and then after that? I had to receive ANOTHER e-mail and click to confirm this freebie.

At this point, they’d better beam me my sample. Come on, Scotty, you can do it!

Free Horse Training DVD

Adam — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:46:54 +0000

So while some people might wonder why we’d ever need a free horse training DVD, I can only smugly reply that when the zombie apocalypse takes out all forms of life and we have noone to work our refineries for fuel for our cars, I’ll already be a step ahead and able to ride off into the sunset! Or maybe I’ll just teach my horse to stomp his foot to count all of the zombies…

Free Teaching History Posters

Adam — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 10:38:08 +0000

A buddy of mine in Florida interviewed for what would have been my dream job about 6 years ago in education. Now? Well, a job in education would give me a place to hang up some of these free teaching history posters. That, and hopefully an endless supply of free apples.

Free Negotiation Book

Adam — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 10:01:29 +0000

You know, Goob and I don’t post many books. That’s not to say we don’t read, but most of these book freebies nowadays are for eBooks or downloadable content that’s a dime a dozen. Sometimes, however, I come across something like this free pdf book on negotiation that’s just way too good to pass up. Maybe I could use what I learn in this book to e-mail the site and negotiate getting a print copy of the book? Or maybe I’ll just negotiate a bigger slice of the pie. Mmm… pie…
