How many Hiffers have been with us from the start? Remember how yearly calendars used to be A Thing? I swear, from 2005-2012, companies gave promotional SWAG calendars like it was all the rage. Yet these days, you hardly see freebies like this free 2020 Heart of the Nation Catholic Art calendar.

And I don't understand why! It's not like the cost of printing promotional calendars has gone up. If anything, it's plummeted. People still use calendars too, right? What company wouldn't want a free advertisement that is seen almost daily?

Just some random musings from a guy who's been doing this for too long 🙂

If you have a local Dunn-Edwards store nearby, then take this coupon in and get an free Perfect Palette Sampler. It's an 8 oz. sample and the coupon expires 12/31/19.

How do you plan to use this freebie? I can't wait to get mine then completely forget all about it. I'm sure I'll find it in the back of my closet while moving in a few years.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is stepping up their freebie game! (There's a sentence I never thought I'd type…) Gone are the days of their nesting birds or backyard birds posters.

Now, if you sign up before July 21, you'll get a free 2020 A Year With Birds calendar.

The page does say “This special thank you offer is valid to email recipients only,” however it let me submit my request. I used the same freebie email from their previous samples, so hopefully that's enough to trigger the freebie. I guess we'll find out 6-8 weeks after they start shipping them!

It's a little late in the year for this free 2019 Pybus Point Lodge calendar. Or is it? I'm not really sure what month it is. Guess I could use this free calendar more than I realized.

This seems like an offer that will get Hiffed by the time Game of Thrones airs, so sign up soon!

My desk, monitors, and wall are practically covered in Post-It notes with all sorts of reminders and ideas. Give me a scrap of blank paper and I'll scribble on it in no time. That's why I was happy to find the CDC is giving away a free quit smoking notepad after you follow the steps below!

1. Select “Other” from Material Types
2. Search for 221831
3. Request your notepad!

If you have an exceptionally large grocery list each week, don't worry, as you can request up to 5 notepads!

The signup form didn't work for me yesterday, but I was able to request a freebie today. After submitting your address, you should get a confirmation number in yellow font at the top of the page.

Despite the insanely overblown video on their site, I'm a member of the “say whatever you want this time of year” camp. Be it Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Blorp McGlavin. So if wishing people at your front door a Merry Christmas sounds good to you, sign up for a free Merry Christmas window cling from CBN.

I'll get looking for one of those Blorp stickers next.

It's that time of year again. Playoff baseball, pumpkin spice everything, and 2019 calendars like this free African American history calendar.

Dang it, I was kinda hoping for a pumpkin spice calendar.

Since 2011, the state of West Virginia has given away an annual free Roadside in Bloom calendar. Every year I'm reminded that West Virginia ain't half bad! I hear NYC attempted making their own version, but it turns out we only have like 7 trees.

At least it isn't my home state of South Carolina giving these away. Otherwise every month would have a picture of orange traffic cones and strips of truck tires.
