Freebies and free stuff

The free MLK Day promotional items offer is back. I take it the holiday is fast approaching? I used to be far more knowledgable about federal holidays when I was in school.

The items you can order for free include:

• MLK Day Posters
• MLK Day Fact Sheet
• bookmarks
• stickers
• door hangers

I still have my door hangers from last year.

This might be a little tricky for some, so here’s what you do. Check the items you want, then add them to your cart. Click your cart near the top middle of the screen and start the checkout process. It’ll ask you to register a free account and then once you do so, you’ll be taken back to the registration screen. Turns out that doubles as the login screen. Login to your account and just hit submit.

This free 2012 Noisy Planet calendar is kind of small, but it might fit nicely in a locker, cubical, or … jail cell? Hey, with almost a hundred thousand Hiffers out there, the math alone says a few of y’all have to be evil. Not that I’m judging or anything. I once stole a pack of gum as a kid and have yet to be caught, so I know what it’s like to be on the lam.

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.

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.

I’ve been craving a Big Mac recently. I haven’t had one in ages, but something tells me that it’s what I need now. And because of the Monopoly game? Well, it doesn’t matter what someone says, whenever I see the word “monopoly,” I think of a Big Mac. So my Pavlovian senses were tingling when I saw this free Picturing Monopoly poster offer.

But after loading the page? I’m thinking more like calamari tonight. I’m so easily influenced and swayed…

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.

From now through June 18, you can get a free 5-pack of Sharpie highlighters at OfficeMax. In order to see the offer, click on “Access Bonus Coupons” in the top right and then print the offer. However that ends up printing that whole darn page, which is beyond idiotic. You can instead print the image above and hope they take it.

You might want to call ahead to make sure they have some in stock before heading out.

EDIT: We Hiffed it

The free Avery sticky notes offer is back. I plan on using mine to write my address on them before sticking them to my chest. That way I can go out for a night on the town and trust that a friendly stranger will see me back home.
