Freezy Friday Giveaway! 08 August 2008

Ahh, I love doing the Friday Giveaway for the simple reason, it means it’s Friday. Awesome. And what better way to start the day with another load of free stuff, and what better way to kick off the weekend that with a refreshing bottle of free Vodka…

Yes, that’s right, free Vodka!
Ok, just follow these instructions, as posted by them lovely chaps over at http://bobsfreestuffforum.co.uk/ :-

“Click the free drinks link under their product range on the left hand side of the landing page and then add the free vodka to your basket.
Click checkout and then either register or login to get the freebie. There may be a little problem with the form if you were born on a day later than the 12th of a month because they have made a mistake in their coding. If this happens just say you were born at some point before the 12th of whatever month.”

Ps. If you’re under 18 then don’t send for this, otherwise we’ll tell you the truth about Santa.

Free and legal music from Keane
Woah. This is a fresh new sound from those posh, piano loving chaps from Keane. I wasn’t sure when I first heard it but this really is a grower.

Free DVD Offers
Lots of companies are trying to find innovative new ways to get people to rent DVD’s without having to go to Blockbuster, LoveFilm being one of the more successful companies.

This site lists the companies that offer free, no obligation offers that you can sign up too and nab yourself a free rental DVD or 2. Just remember to read any small print as you will probably have to physically cancel your subscription once you’ve had your free DVD’s.

Better than free – get paid to eat and drink!
Once upon a time, someone dreamt up the idea of the Chocolate Digestive. I’m pleased cos I love ‘em. However, before they went on sale, they probably had a few people try them out to make sure they were as nice as possible.

This company is looking for people to test some food and drinks. Basically, they send you out an invite and you go along for a period of time, where you try the food and drinks, you then discuss in a group (in my head, this is a bunch of eloquent country gentlemen talking about the bouquet of some exotic fruit drink and how it compliments the exquisite chocolate that has been hand prepared by some Belgian nuns – in reality, it’s probably a bunch of students). You then have to fill out a survey and so they can see the general feedback. However, here’s the cool thing, they pay you for your troubles. So you leave with a full belly and a full wallet. Cool.

Oh, I haven’t got a clue what the sort of food is so if you go and are asked to test caramelised locust and purified bats urine, don’t blame me!

Free Jelly Belly Sweeties…
We used to have a Jelly Belly shop in town. You could get recipe cards which were like “Have 2 banana, 1 toffee, one whipped cream” and it would taste exactly like banoffee pie. The shop closed down ages ago (I’m not surprised - a business model based around selling Jelly Beans to kids in a town with the highest rental prices outside London is probably not the most assured retail business model). Anyway, what’s my point… oh, yeah, you can get free Jelly Belly Jelly Beans.

Small limitation in that the survey is only open to the first 100 people per day – but it tells you at the start if they have had over 100 – so it’s not like you have to fill it in and then they go ‘Ohhh, sorry! Close but no Jelly Bean’, which is nice.

That’s it for another week of free stuff. There really is loads of stuff out there, so if you think of anything that might be useful for our readers, feel free to let us know!

Have a great weekend!

Ps. There is another great site that I came across. It’s not generally free stuff (although they do occasionally give stuff away) but it normally sells stuff agonisingly cheap for a limited time only. It’s worth just checking occasionally to see what’s going. Even if it’s not free, it will normally be superb value.
