Depends on the comp. I do ALOT of these and like i said, out of a monthly mag, about 10 entries, i win at least one prize each mag 9 months out of 10. They ask why you want the prize. If its a toy advertising its developmental qualities, say something like your child is needing help in that particular area and that toy looks perfect for them. Or if its a cd, tell them a 'special moment' you had with bub while you 1st heard that song (hey, worked for me lol).
I cant remember exactly what was in that hello babe bag but i didnt have to pay postage.
Just wanted to let you know some of the samples I have recieved.
Avent - shower product sachets, via cup with no.2 teat (very generous)
Gaia - baby bath products - 4 sachets
Huggies - Shea bath sachets, 1 swim nappy and 1 pull ups nappy (all separately)
Heinz - product info brochures, baby and toddler recipe book (very good)
Gelpack - pack of 30 nappy bags
Johnson & Johnson - generous little pack with sachets, bottle of sorbelene cream
Can't remember any more at the moment, but all the companies have been very generous. Will post more when I remember. :D
Ok i have just recieved some samples too that i requested last Friday so far i have recieved:
* Johnson & Johnson, sachets of all baby products bath wash and moisturiser, Breast pads, small bottle of sorbolene and small packet of baby wipes aswell as a baby massage booklet and some information.
* Happy Baby, i recieived a 0-3 months white dummy
* Lansinoh, i recieved some information and a couple of small samples of there nipple cream.
*Heinz, some great info and a baby to toddler recipe book!
Thats all that has come so far but i am expecting more to come!!!
I will update when i get some more!!
I have emailed avent twice about samples, i even told them i had purchased their breast pump & sterilizer(which i really did). Nope nothing, maybe they randomly send out samples.
I find the sample bags that you get free when you sign up to the coles baby club are the best. Next edition is due out in may, so if you sign up before then you will get sent a magazine with a coupon in it to redeem your samples bag. Also have discount coupons in the magazine and competitions. Worth getting.
Does anyone know of any other companys that give out samples. I've done all that are listed.
Now i'm going to try:
*alpha-keri(bath oils & creams)
*ego(creams etc)
*milton
*sudocream
*brauer
Anyone had any luck with these????

Hi, Just to let all know i emailed the companies originally posted in thread asking if they had any baby samples available. During last week and this week i have recieved some great samples. J and J sent lil bottle of baby cream and about 8 sachets of different products. Today recieved from pigeon, baby wipes 10pack, pigeon baby shampoo and pigeon liquid cleanser for bottles etc. Huggies sent new baby wash samples, Mei Mei sent sachets of baby bath, baby lotion. Cherub rubs sent skin soothe. And avado organics sent some great sachets of their products also, about 8 sachets from them.
So is a great way of being able to try out some products on bub. Good luck to everyone else.:yelclap:
How many bounty bag bags are there now?
I have gotten one from the hospital (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=hospital&spell=1). How do I get the others??

Instead she recommended I buy the Baby gift pack for $110. :eek: :thumbsdown:
Thanks a lot. :(
Have never gotten anything from Avent, after emailing them tons of times. Just recently did it again. I asked about the Via cup to breast pump attachment. I don't want to buy a whole new set for that one little bit.
I got a Pigeon pack today (again:p) and wrote a thank you email back.
I have never gotten anything from Happy Baby, Nuk, or Huggies even. The swim pants I asked to trial when my DS was 4 months old STILL haven't arrived.
I did write a letter to complain, but nothing happened.
I'm yet to get my password from BabyLove. Only joined up today though.
The Coles bag was really great. I got three!!! Two 0-12 mth ones and a 12-24 mth one.
xDP picked one up for me! :D
The 0-12 mth one was better.

You get the coles bag if your a member of coles baby, it too late now the bags are all gone.. But you can still sign up to Coles baby via there website or by a in store application form at Coles Supermarket. By signing up u get a baby magazine every season i think!!
In order to get the coles bag the members received vouchers with their magazine to collect a free bag from Coles Supermarket. Just sign up, and maybe next year the free bags will be available again!!
I got 2 bags as my sister didnt want her voucher the toddler bag is way better than the newborn bag!!!

Ow really, thats not fair, my sisters son is 2 years old and she got the mag and voucher... Maybe you should give them a call, let them know.. you are entitled to a free bag as a member of the club.
The vouchers were giving out with the last magazine!!
Hi everyone
Just thought I'd let you know, after email all week-end :-) I have already received a few negative answers:
- PENTAL does not send lux flakes anymore
- HERRON will only send you a teething gel after you purchase a product and suscribe to their club
- HEINZ does not send samples but cooking recipes
- BUBBALICIOUSKIDS does not send bath toys either....
Will keep you posted.... :(

I feel ripped off i am a member and didn't get a mag
I got an answer in the mail today ! :yelclap: from BPM (not sure who that is...) with a little catalogue and a note saying they do not provide samples anymore.. but I still found 3 mini samples of AVENT cream....
+ avado just sent an email to let me know samples were in the post :yelclap:
Hi Everybody Im new and love free goodies!!
I find that if you say you or your baby has sensitive skin and that you want to try their products to see which ones you can use before buying and offer to pay for postage they tend to help you out also if they dont send you anything dont be upset millions of people ask for freebies and if they sent them to everyone they'd end up broke lol
I agree with you Kez, got an answer today from Only Organic apologizing and explaining they are a small company and cannot afford the samples anymore, and to me this answer is good customer service...
Received a little pack from Johnson today with a few mini cream samples + Rite Aid and Palmer's yesterday.

Threads like these ones are perfect and everything any mother to be needs we all need samples to get started and this is great:doh:
GIRLS.
i have something to say, with sugglers i applied for free samples back in septemeber time i got a reply back saying "we dont do samples go buy a box" i never worried about them but the other day i went to the mail box to see i got a parcal from them opened it and it had a free nappy i was amazed maybe they kept all details incase they did send them out to people i was well suprised. Just thought id let you girls know about this :thumbsup:
I may be getting annoying but its just that im finding new things every minute :laughing:
Grobag i heard somewhere else they sent them stuff worth a try :)
Today in the mail i got- avado,johnson and johnson i was really proud a few months back i applied for heaps and i now have like 3 sets of every sample pretty cool they musnt keep the details most companies.

Great thread! Thank you!
When I get some free time (what's that?? :confused: LOL) I intend to copy about 100 emails to all the companies - I'm studying to become a Doula so want to try all I can in order to make informed recommendations (not to mention I'll hopefully have a big lot of left over samples to give to my Mum's ;)). I have my own preferences frommy own babies, but cant hurt to try everything.
Become a member of vibe village.
and every now and then they have things for free ive done two of these so far, i hosted a otrivin baby party but you make some stuff up and they send out a big box and samples i got 5 things for cleaning blocked noses.I also done a survey for master foods and they sent me a big box full of suaces and pasta things its a bargin all for FREE.
Thanks for all the leads on the free samples. We are new in Australia and I am 10 weeks pregnant. I'm faced with quite a few new products and it would be great to test before I buy. Thanks again.:)
This is for some freee samples that ive contacted
wholesale@natureschild.com.au
(wholesale@natureschild.com.au)This is organic baby bottom balm.
http://www.bio-oil.com/en/contact/index (http://www.bio-oil.com/en/contact/index)
This is for bio oil which you can use for stretch marks aswell.
http://www.nair.com.au/contact (http://www.nair.com.au/contact)
Nair hair removal i use their products quite often and it does the job ( this is for mum’s)
http://www.loccitane.com.au/23/1/1256/23645/Contact-us.htm (http://www.loccitane.com.au/23/1/1256/23645/Contact-us.htm)
Another one for mummies its like body and bath washes .
http://www.essentialoils-and-aromatherapy.com/content.php?p=home-contact (http://www.essentialoils-and-aromatherapy.com/content.php?p=home-contact)
new direction they might send out some samples.
http://www.fructis.com.au/contact.html (http://www.fructis.com.au/contact.html)
Another mummies one its garnier hair and face products
good idea. I'm going to try a few of these myself. Ones that might be useful...If I find any I'll let you guys know. Thanks.

Don't know if any of you are interested in this but.. There is a company that sends people out to your home and you have a party (like a tupperware party or similar) and they give you free samples. The thing is (and this is the best part!) it doesn't cost you a thing, and the people that do these demonstrations aren't selling you anything - they just explain the products and give you free samples!! There is no pressure to buy anything - because there isn't anything to buy! Woohoo! Great excuse to have some friends around. I'm pretty sure that the person who has the demonstration at there house gets another free gift as well. I went to one a couple of months ago, I think it's called PPs or Word of Mouth marketing or something like that. (It's all from memory - and I still have a really bad case of baby brain!) Good luck with your sample hunting! :wave:
I know what you are talking about my sister went to one up in Melbourne, 2 weeks ago, didn't tell me anything about it until afterwards, I've booked on (not for another 3 months because of how busy they are), but I did manage to get a big bag of products and samples, including cheese, toilet paper, nappies, baby food, a new type of chocolate(waas really yummy, forgotten what its called but will know it from a picture), health smart mag,a new flavour of chips (didn't like them) and bits and pieces.
You only need a few friends and everyone gets a bag to take home and the host get HEAPS more.
And all they expect of you that you might end up buying the product in the shops when its avaliable.
Can anyone tell me the name of this company that does these things ?

Hi Isabeau,
How strange maybe i didn't get them because I said I was pregnant now rather than having toddlers. Nestle and ClubNutrica both said they couldn't send the samples becuase they support breastfeeding. Herron and Nivea said it was due to demand. This has only been in the last week or so.
Guess it just depends on the time you ask.
Good luck with getting your samples.

I filled out the pigeon free sample bag form on the net, which was some months back & have received nothing as yet, just wondering if anyone else has received theirs & if so how long did it take & what was in it? I also found out that the coles baby club sample bag is only available to residence in SA & VIC.
:wave: I was one of the original posters of this thread way back in 2007 when it started.
Pigeon from memory was by far one of the best samples I recieved.
As was J&J, Avent and Nicepak.
I live in NSW and received the Coles Sample bag, the mag also has great competitions.
Do they still do the Bounty Bags? These use to be free sample bags packed with goodies you could collect from the hospital, chemists or Target I think from memory. There was a pre-baby one, a newborn and then a toddler one.
I think the main problem with samples now is so many people have caught on and companies just cannot keep up with demand and usually just send brochures.
I know before DS was born companies were very generous, Avent for example sent me dummies, creams etcs. And most parcels were so big they were to big for my letter box.:)
I guess there is no harm in trying though.

Never recieved anything :(
I have filled out this form on more than one occasion over the last few yrs, the first time was when I was pregnant with DD who is now almost 5yrs old.
Bummer about the Coles bag :( I remember getting a sample box from Coles once, but that was waaaaay back when DS was little (I think it was him LOL) so about 7yrs ago.
Pigeon samples include shampoo, breast pads, wipes ( all i can remember)
and baby club sample bag is available to nsw too I got one
And yep they still have bounty bags from select chemists blooms & soul patterson here on central coast nsw. & the last one is from target still :)
I agree they used to be way more generous i received dummies and containers from avent when i was pregnant with my now almost 4 yr old

Both Avebt & NUK said they don't send samples but I could purchase things from their website. I don't mind paying for the samples if they are worth it, I live in a remote location & this is my first bub so it is really hard to know what is best & I have limited access to town - I don't want to go and start buying things online if they are a waste of money.
Any suggestions??
Also has anyone had any luck with the website asknanadaphne? they have a baby starter kit which is full of samples (or so it claims to be) but I can't seem to fill out the shipping details as the area is blank, therefore I can't go any further????
Email other baby companies johnson and johnson, curash and gaia send samples gaia u have to send self addressed envelope for them.
Google bounty bags and see where ur nearest stockist is cause they are helpful. Snugglers send nappy samples as do babylove and maybe huggies. hope this helps.

huggies- hot milk undies( very cute)
avent- i got a newborn dummy, which i was shocked to recieve as avent is a great company and i thought only dodgy companys would send out products, i also got breats pads and a few brouchures.
pigeon- i got a cute tiny little sample bottle of baby shampoo and a sanitizer for baby toys, also got breats pads and boruchures, and baby wipes
palmers- sent me out 3 sachets of creams etc and a brouchure.
but even if i dont recieve more stuff from other companys i am happy i got these few things.

Both Avebt & NUK said they don't send samples but I could purchase things from their website. I don't mind paying for the samples if they are worth it, I live in a remote location & this is my first bub so it is really hard to know what is best & I have limited access to town - I don't want to go and start buying things online if they are a waste of money.
Any suggestions??
Also has anyone had any luck with the website asknanadaphne? they have a baby starter kit which is full of samples (or so it claims to be) but I can't seem to fill out the shipping details as the area is blank, therefore I can't go any further????
what is the website for the baby starter kit?
i know there is one where you have to be living in USA to recieve

when you emailed them and said you had bought some bottles did they reply and say they are going to send you stuff or if just randomly turned up?

Oh wow Pigeon sent you something, you must be the only one who was lucky enough.
You may like to try hello babe they have a sample bag and another you can pay $29.95 for but be aware, I ordered the free bag (which costs $9.95 postage from memory) & at the same time paid for the other new mum bag & only reveived one, I did email them to tell them but heard nothing back!
I sent away for the asknanadaphne baby starter kit which was supposed to be free but was $15.00 for postage & $15.00 for the bag + tax on top of that & the link took me to hello babe so I think I may be getting a duplicate of the original hello babe stuff I got (still waiting for it to come)
Mums & Bubs have acouple of sample bags but be aware they are full of brochures & really I found a waste of time. I did find the Bounty bags helpful, I'm still to have my baby but got the second one & low & behold there are condoms in there?? I did find the second one has far more stuff in them than the first, not sure about the third though.
I have sent away to all the links provided & received some really good samples but I htink I have now pretty much exhausted all the links, it's addictive once you start but I do have to admit our overseas counterparts do receive more than we do.
BTW - in the first bounty bag there is a coupon from bub hub to receive a free show bag which you have to take into the store to claim, I don't live in the southern states so I emailed & asked if they were happy to send one to me (I did explain that I was happy to pay postage) they asked me to send the coupon to them & they would contact me for the $12.00 postage payment.
Has anyone else received any other good samples?

yes i have realised that if you live it usa you get so much more stuff then us :(
yeh pigeon sent me to as i said before, was strange but awesome, my favourite so far would have to be the avent, only cause i got a cute lil dummy. i have used up all the emails as i can for baby stuff, i cant think of anymore to email lol
it was good while it lasted though :)
i sent into mam baby and said i bought some bottles and explained how they were good and stuff, but havent gotten a reply. they are great bottles though so hopefully i get some in the mail :)
i emailed them the other day saying that i bought a pack of bottles and blah blah blah and they replied and said thankyou for the feedback so hopefully i get something :)
what did you get in the package when they did send it?

ok here are some things that came yesterday and today.
NUTRICIA-a bear and cds of songs
POISE- 1 pad
SWISSE- pregnancy vitamins ( 10 tablets)
HUGGIES- dry nights for boys
WONDER GIRL- 2 liners and 1 pad
all came with brochures.
Just thought I'd let you guys know that yesterday I got "rejection" emails (no samples) from: cherub rubs, nuk, hello babe (please pay $15 postage for sample bag), playgro and grobag/bambini pronti. :hissy: Toys R Us baby registry also did not give me a showbag.
Avent and Pidgeon replied that they would gladly send me some samples. The baby bunting sample bag (redeeemable with voucher from bounty bag 1) always has 1 awesome item in it (last time was organic singlet valued $20, now a cuddly blanket valued at bout same). :yelclap:
Oh yeah toys r us didnt give me or my friend a showbag when either of us signed up for the registry :(
Hi ladies I have been emailing to get samples too. Agent said no... :( can I ask which email u girls used? I could only get through to philips...
Thanks :)
Most of it I did by using the websites "contact us" part.. Avent said they would send me a dummy, Pidgeon sent a few little samples, Johnsons sent a few little samples, Huggies hotmilk knickers is still running... Haven't really received much as yet
Huggies Hotmilk has recently ended, but they have a little swimmers promotion going now.
