Some free stuff and samples are hard to categorize! These active freebies includes metal straws, tote bags, buttons, money clips, lighters, and far more.
MoveOn is giving away a free vaccine card holder protector since nobody had the brilliant idea to make these things standard wallet size!
You can skip the monetary donation request after submitting your shipping info on the first page. You'll still get your freebie without donating a penny and you should receive a confirmation email almost immediately.
The Kailee Mills Foundation is giving away free buckle up seat belt decals. These are to help raise awareness of the importance of wearing your seat belt while in vehicles.
That link should take you straight to the request form, but there's also a button on the side of the page that looks like this.
Milwaukee Tools is giving away your choice of the following three items:
We don't really see free t-shirts being offered that much anymore, so this is a nice offer! I was able to pick up a free shirt and the confirmation message says your free gift should arrive within 2 weeks.
I doubt this freebie offer will last very long!
Oh boy. We blew it. September 12 was Grandparents' Day and none of us remembered, did we!?
Oh well, at least you can still send a free personalized postcard to your grandparents!
I have a feeling this won't stay active for too much longer.
Free ring sizers have been a “thing” since I started HIF, but 99.9% of them are usually nothing more than flimsy slips of paper. However, this Bulgari ring sizer looks to be an actual contraption that won't fall apart as soon as it's tossed in the kitchen junk drawer!
My scissors, over mitts, dried out Sharpies, and loose rubber bands that I haven't seen since 2008 are excited to meet their new friend!
This freebie is a bit different that most. You'll want to click “Request your ring sizer” and then send an email asking for one. It'll include a pre-written request and all you have to do is fill in your mailing address!
According to NASA's Kennedy Space Center FAQ page, you can get a free autographed picture of an astronaut simply by asking!
Q. How can I obtain an autographed picture of an astronaut?
A. You may write or fax your request to the following address for astronaut autographed pictures:NASA Johnson Space Center
CB/Astronaut Office
Houston, TX 77058
Here's an official list of active astronauts with direct links to their social media pages. Who knows, maybe you're about to discover your newest favorite spacefaring human!
GlaxoSmithKline is giving away free temporary butterfly tattoos as part of a Lupis awareness campaign.
Show the world your strength and courage as a lupus warrior. Show support for your friends and family members living with lupus. Unite as a community to show our newly diagnosed sisters and brothers that they are not alone.
It's easy to show your support! Order your temporary tattoos, snap a pic, and share with #whyitattoo.
It's also easy to follow HIF on Twitter!

If you're always wondering which Amendment promises no cruel and unusual punishment (it's the 8th) or which promises freedom of speech (1st) or even which promises free jelly beans on Tuesday (sadly this one hasn't been passed yet), then pick up a copy of this free United States Constitution.
This booklet contains 52 pages with the United States Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the 11-27 Amendments.
After submitting your address, you'll get a confirmation page saying your freebie is on the way along with a request for donations. You can close this window without entering any credit card info and you'll still get the freebie!
The town of Paso Robles, CA is giving away free limited-edition postcards. Now for the unfortunate good news, bad new. The good news is Paso Robles is partially an anagram for “bloopers,” which sounds fun. Yet the bad news is Paso Robles also makes an anagram for “barless,” which sounds miserable. Use this arbitrary, pointless info however you see fit.
Postcards will begin shipping in late January. Please allow 7-10 days for mailing time. Available while supplies last.
[Thanks to Hiffer Jean for sending these in!]
The Human Rights Campaign is giving away three free greeting cards!
You're finished once you submit your mailing address on the first page. It will take you to a page asking for donations, but they aren't required in order to get this freebie.
You know, there's a small but non-zero chance that the owner of a greeting card company might read this post. If such stars have aligned, I'd like to make my pitch as a potential Greeting Card Author Prodigy. I think I'd be great at it and have included a few samples of my work below:
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Hey look over there, That cow just said moo.
That could be used as a fun road trip card. Or maybe for cow enthusiasts! But what about a more intimate card? Oh, I've got just what you need:
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Something something something, I love you!
See, I can write sweet nothings. I'll be awaiting your response and will accept payment in the form of burlap sacks stuffed with cash.
One small way to limit the waste of disposable plastic straws is to stop using them! Like all other plastic, much of it ends up in the oceans, where it breaks down into microscopic pellets that frequently ends up in sea life. That's what we call No Good.
So, in order to help cut down on this travesty, you can get a free reusable straw made out of … paper? How are we supposed to clean a paper straw? Heck, wouldn't our beverages themselves ruin a paper straw? Am I insane?
Oh, it's made out of metal. That makes so much more sense.
[thanks to all the Hiffers who sent this in!]
EDIT: WE DID IT!
If you've enjoyed watching Mike Bloomberg light giant piles of money on fire lately with all his TV ads, then you'll love these free “You're Fired” Mike Bloomberg matches. I tried signing his campaign office up for these, so he'd get the hint, but no luck.
