This is such a cute freebie, and so utterly random too. Here you get free hermit crab stickers from PETA Kids, which are adorable, and have a rather stern message printed on them. If your kids fancy making a difference and love stickers, then this is the freebie for you.

• Click here to get free stickers from PETA Kids

Have you ever seen shops selling hermit crabs? According to PETA Kids you probably have and that in the wild, hermit crabs can live to be 30 years old. That’s an impressive age for a crustacean I believe. These chaps live on Southern beaches in big groups with up to 100 other hermit crabs.

These chaps are not meant to be alone in a tiny tank. It’s horrible for them, they want to be with their families out in the wild. With these stickers your kids can stand up for what’s right and let everyone know that animals are not souveniers.

Diabetes cases are on the rise, but over half the nation still isn’t concerned.  Asda is offering free Diabetes testing nationwide. The test is completely free and available in all 248 Asda Pharmacies nationwide all year around. With no need to make an appointment customers can simply stop by while they do their weekly shop.

• Click here to find out more from Asda*

Despite recent reports that 700,000 people in the UK are estimated to have diabetes by the end of the decade research by Asda today reveals over half the nation (55%) still aren’t concerned about developing the disease. To help tackle the problem Asda Pharmacy is offering a free test to all shoppers and its 180, 000 colleagues nationwide.

With the NHS stating that there are around 850,000 people with undiagnosed diabetes in the UK it’s worrying to discover more than 1 in 3 Brits (35%) are unaware you can get tested. Despite being at a higher risk if a family member has the disease, 34% of people in this category still haven’t been tested.

  The blood glucose test, carried out by trained pharmacy colleagues, measures the amount of glucose in your blood at the time of the test. While this test does not diagnose diabetes, a positive screening result highlights the possibility the patient may be at risk and offers the opportunity for them to seek the correct medical advice.

This e-story takes the child on a magical Christmas adventure to the North Pole. There's something to spot on every page from falling snow and glowing candles to a roaring fire and flying fairies.

The story follows the child's adventures when they wake on Christmas Day morning to discover a double-decker bus parked in the garden full of snowmen. Without hesitation the child jumps on the back of the bus and heads to the North Pole to help Father Christmas and his elves wrap, sort and deliver all the presents. Will they make it back to their home before everyone wakes up? And will their family believe that they have helped save Christmas?

Once you have placed your order you will receive an email with a link to view the e-story as many times as you want. This can be forwarded to friends and family for their enjoyment too!
