Parents Freebie: Carte Noir Instinct Wholebean Instant Coffee

by Tamsin Oxford in Freebies on 13 July, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Carte Noir are once again giving away free samples of their scrummy instant coffee to anyone who visits their Facebook page. It’s very easy to get your tasty coffee delivered to your front door and it really is one of the better brands of instant coffee.

The new Carte Noir Instinct is their first wholebean instant coffee that blends the qualities of roasted coffee beans with the silky flavours of instant coffee. I doubt that I will ever find a brand of instant coffee that tastes nice, but I am extremely fussy about my coffee. However, those of you who like a nice cup of easy instant should really appreciate a freebie from this premium brand.

To get your free taste of instant Carte Noir coffee just click on the Request a sample link on their Facebook page and follow the onscreen directions. It can take up to 28 days for the sample to arrive.

Parents Freebie: Free Sample Of Clipper Green Tea

Fancy a free sample of some scrummy green tea from Clipper? It’s as easy as pie to nab your freebie and, if you’ve never tried green tea before, what a great way to see if you like it before you buy it.

The free Clipper green tea looks really scrummy, well, their packaging is scrummy. I really like the design. Every tea manufacturer seems to eke a different flavour out of their tea so it will be very interesting to see what Clipper green tea actually tastes like.

To get your free sample you only need to fill in a pretty short form asking you all the usual gumph like name and postal address, and you can also fill in extra forms for friends if you fancy sending them a free sample too. Bonus!

Parents Freebie: Free Samples From Dove

Join the Dove club and you will be getting some tasty free samples in the post. Yes, you read that right – Dove are giving away lots of lovely free samples and special offers and all you need to do is sign up to withDove. It’s easy and quick too.

The form you need to fill in with Dove is really not that complicated and won’t take you very long at all. It took me about 30 seconds and voila, I was registered. Once you have submitted your form you’ll get taken to another page that will ask you if you are interested in sharing your thoughts about Dove with them.

The questionnaire is easy and rather fun actually, although you may find it a bit embarrassing if you don’t use any Dove products…

Now all you need to do is wait for your free Dove samples to appear in the post. Fortunately Dove are really good with this sort of thing and don’t promise a freebie that they don’t deliver. I got some scrummy samples in the post last year!

Parents Freebie: Free Clipper Samples @ Clipper Teas

Clipper Teas are giving away free samples of Clipper tea to anyone who joins their tea tasting club. This hardly seems like a chore, if I am honest, especially if it means that I end up getting free tea. I haven’t tasted Clipper tea before so now seems like a good time to start…

To get your free sample of Clipper tea you need to join their club and choose to become a taster. Tick the tasting box at the end of the form to qualify. Note, if you do not click the box to become a taster, you will not get your free tea sample.

Joining the Clipper Tea Club does more than just shower you with free tea; you are also in line to win prizes and such lovely things as a member. You will get some spam but I reckon spam about tea is pretty cool.

So there you go, a free tea sample from Clipper tea that comes with the chance to win prizes too. Awesome.

Parents Freebie: Free Sample Of Redbush Tea

by Tamsin Oxford in Freebies on 24 October, 2010 at 6:00 pm

Parents Freebie: Free Sample Of Redbush Tea

I adore Redbush tea, or Rooibos as it is known in South Africa. It tastes delicious, is incredibly refreshing, and it has loads of antioxidant properties. You can drink it chilled and sweetened in summer, hot with only water, or perhaps a splash of milk if you so desire. And The Redbush Tea Company are currently giving away free samples so now is a great time to try some.

It shouldn’t take you too long to fill in all the information they ask you, although there is quite a lot, and soon your free sample of Redbush tea will be on its way to you. I really do recommend your trying it at least once.

My personal favourite way to enjoy it is just by pouring boiling water on it, letting it steep for 2-3 minutes, and then adding a dash of cold tapwater to make it quickly drinkable. It has a faintly bitter and sweet taste that is utterly unique.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Parents Freebie: Free FindSports Keyring @ FindSports.co.uk

Fancy a funky free keyring from FindSports.co.uk? Well, they are giving away two of these cute little trainer-shaped keyrings per household and all you have to do is fill in a few details, bargain!

When you click through to the site you’ll find the free FindSports keyrings section on the left hand side of the page, about three layers down. I struggled a bit to find it but that could just be the Monday morning blues.

Once you discover it, just enter your name, address, email and postcode, select how many you’d like to get, and press Receive. Done! You have your freebie winging your way to you. They look really cute, I must admit, and I am rather taken aback at such a cool freebie. Usually things like this look a bit rubbish and this doesn’t.

Let me know what you think of your free keyring if you decide to get one and enjoy!

Parents Freebie: Free Printable Invitations @ UK-Entertainers

I recently discovered that hosting a children’s party can be very expensive. Now that we don’t have a garden, the option to hold a party at our house is gone so it ended up becoming quite an expensive affair with renting premises and all sorts. I wish I had uncovered this freebie before my daughter’s party as it would have shaved some money off the invitations.

The site offers you a host of free, printable children’s party invitations that you can download and print out at your convenience. The only cost will be your paper and ink! So if you’ve taken advantage of some of the ace printer offers we’ve recently uncovered, this will be a complete treat for you.

I found invitations to themed parties such as Easter, Pirates. Halloween, and more. You can download a wide range of birthday invitation templates and all of them can be customised to suit your theme or child’s name.

Not only are there free invitations, but you’ll also find a ton of links and ideas for children’s party professionals in your area. It’s as good a place to start planning as any! Hey, you can even use it for your own Halloween party this October.

Parents Freebie: Free Online Photograph Course

by Tamsin Oxford in Freebies on 5 September, 2010 at 6:00 pm

Parents Freebie: Free Online Photograph CourseI couldn’t be more excited about a freebie! I am desperate to learn more about photography as I’ve not had time to go to lessons or put what I’ve learned so far into practise, so an online course that can be done in my own time is rather perfect. Here, at PhotographyCourse.net you can learn all the secrets of digital photography for no cost at all.

The site is really easy to navigate and you can start your lessons from wherever your skill levels are today. You can learn how to work with the light you are given, how to get people to post for you, focal length and so much more.

Each course comes with images and clear instructions to help you learn about each element of digital photography so you can quietly figure stuff out at your own pace. I really think that this is quite brilliant as courses are very Parents Freebie: Free Online Photograph Courseexpensive in the UK.

If you get stuck, you can always ask a friend or do a YouTube search for a video walkthrough, otherwise you can carry on, learn what you need, and walk away as a pro. What an ace freebie!

Parents Freebie: Get A Free Book From Dorling Kindersley

Fancy nabbing a free book for you and a friend? Me too! I love books, especially free ones, and this is a stupendifantastic deal. All you need to do is register, enter a friends email address and get yourselves in the list for a freebie.

Ok, so this is how it works. Start out by entering your friend’s email address in a simple form. In the form you fill out your details and address, their details and then press send.  DK will send an email to your mates asking them to sign up to the DK e-newsletter.

Once they have confirmed that they want to sign up, DK will send a free book to you, and one to each friend you nominated. You can nominate up to two friends and the deal ends on the 20th of August 2010 so HURRY!

The site makes no mention as to what kind of book you’re going to receive so I guess it’s going to be a nice surprise. I can only hope that mine isn’t going to be about the history of art, yawn.

Parents Freebie: 75 Free Prints From Jessops

If you’re anything like me then you probably have a ton of photos sitting on your computer in desperate need of sorting and printing. Well, this deal from Jessops should definitely come in handy for all of us! You can get 75 free 6x4” prints just by using the voucher code below.

To create your 6x4 print order online you are asked to download their software and use it to upload and manage your prints. The software isn’t very invasive and can be easily uninstalled if you’re not that keen on keeping it around.

If you do have a swathe of images lurking on your PC I really do recommend Picasa as a great way of sorting them out. I recently started using this free photo editing software and it’s so easy to use and manage and you can quickly whittle out the prints you like by adding a star.

Once you’ve sorted your images and uploaded them enter the voucher code 75WELCOME when ordering to receive your 75 free prints. I hope you have fun!

Parents Freebie: Free Microsoft Security Essentials

Parents Freebie: Free Microsoft Security Essentials

It’s amazing how many people don’t have any security software on their PCs. Truly amazing. The stories of phishing and all sorts of other terrifying security breaches are not just stories, they are happening to people right now. So if you don’t have any form of firewall, anti-virus, phishing filter or other such protection on your machine then get it from Microsoft for free right now.

I am not advocating that you use Microsoft here. What I am saying is that if you can’t or won’t afford paying for heavy security options like Norton (which frankly seem to just eat system space and annoy you) and you’ve lost the wonders of free AVG, then here is another option.

If you have a legal installation of Windows on your machine then you can download and install this without a problem. It’s a pretty good package, I must admit, and it provides you with anti-malware solutions, protects against viruses and spyware and other such malicious software, and it is free.

It took me the length of writing this post to install it and set it up, and the steps are pretty self explanatory. Enjoy your free computer security!

Thanks to big-boy at HUKD!
