Free Colgate Kids Toothpaste Sample

Free Colgate Samples for Teachers

Signups are open for next year's free Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures classroom kits. They usually ship around February each year, so this is your annual reminder to get those orders in!

The kits contain a video and other easy-to-use classroom materials, like posters & storybooks, plus free Colgate toothpaste and toothbrush samples for 25 kindergartners or first-grade students. Also included for students is a take home brushing chart. I presume the video is a guide on health care and not something fun like The Matrix.

To prevent against fraud, these kits can only be shipped to a valid school address!

For non-teachers out there, you can access Colgate's current list of offers and coupons here!


Free LeVar Burton Bookmark Sticker

Free ‘LeVar Burton says Read Banned Books’ Sticker & Bookmark

I love the artwork on this latest freebie from MoveOn. Submit your mailing info on the first page and you'll get a free “LeVar Burton says read banned books” sticker and bookmark.

As always, you can ignore and exit out of the donation requests shown on the confirmation page.

I've also been fleshing out our free bookmarks page lately, which auto-collects all of the bookmarks still available to request.


Free CDC Prevent Tickborne Diseases Bookmark

Free CDC Prevent Tickborne Diseases Bookmarks

The CDC still has some free informational bookmarks from 2014. Search for “bookmark” under “Keyword or PubID” and you'll see anywhere from 10-13 different bookmark options. Some are 2×6 inch bookmarks while others are 8.5×3.5 inches. A lot of them are bookmarks showing how to prevent tickborne diseases that are not only informational, but they're also laminated and guaranteed to freak you out every time you pick up your book!

You can request up to 100, but come on, leave some for the next Hiffer behind you. I have a feeling once these are gone, they're gone for good.

Once you add a bookmark or two to your cart, go to your cart and checkout. Orders usually takes 2 to 4 weeks for delivery.


Free Star Collection Bookmark

Free Star Collection Bookmark

Go here and enter 300993 for “Keyword of PubID” to request a free Star Collection bookmark. This freebie is 6×2 with rounded corner.

You might also be able to just copy and paste the link straight to it:

https://wwwn.cdc.gov/pubs/#/300993

They only have a limited number of these to give away each day, but the stock refreshes after 24 hours. However, even if they show you a message saying they're out of stock, be sure to try checking out anyway! Earlier this week, they kept saying they were OOS and wouldn't let me checkout. Then today, I still got the OOS message, but the site let me checkout and they sent me a verification email. 🤷‍♂️

So YMMV and either way, if you miss out today, be sure to check back tomorrow!

Free 2023 Yearly Planner

Rebate: Free 2023 Planner over $25!

TopCashback is offering new members a full rebate of $25 on any purchase containing a 2023 planner from Staples!

Here's how to redeem this freebie:

  1. Go here and click the “Join Free” button to activate the offer.
  2. Purchase any Staples 2023 planner and spend a total of $25 or more. This is important!
  3. Within 14 days you'll receive $25 in cash back to your TopCashback account.
  4. Easily withdraw your payout straight to your PayPal or bank account!

Make sure you spend at least $25 in order to trigger this offer. I just looked and Staples has a planner priced at $25.19, so you'll only end up spending $0.19 if you purchase that one.

The fine print says the following:

Once you have completed your purchase of $25.00 or more on anything at Staples through TopCashback, you'll receive $25.00 in cash back in your TopCashback account within 14 days after your transaction tracks. Only one freebie offer is permitted per new member. Cannot be combined with other TopCashback offers.

The “on anything” part there makes it sound like you can purchase a lesser priced planner in the $10-18 range and still get the full $25 rebate as long as your total purchase is over $25 before taxes & shipping.

This freebie expires on January 2, 2023.


Free Backpack Filled with School Supplies via Verizon

Free Backpack Filled with School Supplies on July 31

This great annual freebie is back for Hiffers in 26 states! Participating Verizon Wireless locations are giving away free backpacks filled with essential school supplies on Sunday, July 31, from 1-4pm! A full list of 1,244 locations and addresses are available on their Wireless Zone Locations page.

Each backpack comes with pencils, a pencil box, folders, paper, a ruler, and glue. Your child must be present and hopefully they're not dressed like the dapper young man in all of their ads, because that means they're 100% better dressed than me. You do not have to be a Verizon custom either.

These freebies are given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, so I'd show up early if you really want this freebie. They're giving away 130,000 free backpacks this year, which averages out to about 100 freebies per location, so these will go fast!!

Last year there were only 13 states with participating locations. It's nice to see that number double this year!


Free Classroom Science Poster

Free Classroom Science Poster

If you're a teacher, then you can request a free science poster for your classroom. I didn't personally request this since I don't believe I qualify. The closest my apartment comes to a “science classroom” is my 1am drunken Google history of “why doesn't the moon crash into Earth?” and “stop saying gravity, tell me the truth!”


Free FTC You Are Here Bookmark

100 Free FTC Bookmarks

The FTC offers many different variations of free physical bookmarks in bulk. The smallest quantity you can order are 100 of them, so these might be great for any teachers or book clubs out there in HIF land.

I didn't personally order these because I didn't want to waste a hundred bookmarks. If you're only looking for a single free bookmark, then use this list of free bookmarks that I keep updated. I still use my tick identification bookmark, which is a sentence I never thought I'd utter!
