Free Wildflower Seeds

Free Wildflower Seeds

· Disclosure

Airwick has brought back their offer from last year where they'll send free seeds to plant in your yard. I'm guessing they want us to help make the air smell better.

Hey, wait a minute, that's Air Wick's job! 😀

Expired Free Seed Offers

In 2016, Bayer ran a campaign giving away flower seeds so we could help our local bees. That offer has long since expired, but luckily I found a new offer today for free wildflower seeds aiming to help both bees and butterflies!

Choose from either Black-Eyed Susans or Butterfly Milkweed seeds and plant them in your yard. Once grown, they'll help keep your local bees & butterflies find pollinator-friendly plants. It's a tough world out there for bees. First they have to deal with colony collapse disorder, then there was that whole weird Seinfeld movie, and yet now their worst nightmare has come true as they can't find flowers to pollinate!

They also released this little video. It's a bit old now, but it's cute and has upbeat music and isn't that all we really need right now?


Free Michelin Tire Gauge for Teenagers

Free Michelin Tire Gauge for Young Adults

· Disclosure

If you're between 16 to 24 years of age – okay, let's be real for a second. I know HIF's demographics. I've been running this site for almost 17 years now. There aren't any teenagers reading this site anymore 🤣. Let me try this again.

If you're the parent of a young adult (much better), then be sure they sign up for a free Michelin tire gauge. They'll also be entered to win a content.

They only have 10,000 of these to give away, so please don't request one unless you're a teenager. The good news is this offer just went live today, so if you sign up now, chances are you'll get a freebie. Freebies will begin shipping after the contest ends on 2/22/22.


Free Proven Winners Gardener's Idea Book

Free 2022 Proven Winners Gardener’s Idea Book

· Disclosure

Signups are now open for the free 2022 Proven Winners Gardener's Idea book. I feel like a fraud requesting this freebie since I don't have much of a green thumb. I swear the last time I went to buy a plant, a few of them verbally shouted “nooooo, don't let him pick us!” while inching their pots deeper onto the shelf.

However, if you're not a plant serial-killer like me, then this freebie will contain tips & ideas on great way to get ready to garden this spring.

These booklets are set to ship in late March 2022, but supplies are limited so you should signup today. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Arm & Hammer is giving away a free wildflower seed card to the first 155,000 people to sign up. They're only at 85,000 right now, so you've got a little time.

Seed cards are basically biodegradable business cards with little seeds in them. You then plant the card, the paper breaks down into plant nourishment through a complicated process that one scientist referred to as “no comment Goob, stop calling my home phone,” and then a few months later you've got a free plant!

You might have to copy and paste the link for it to work, so here ya go.
