WFMW-- free gifts (well, almost)

Posted in WFMW

 




I love photos and photo gifts, and the competition for your business is pretty fierce.  Which means many of the sites will offer you freebies in order to gain your loyalty.  I use these freebies all the time.  And by free I mean usually $4 or $5 in shipping.  But I choose the things I really like and that are worth the few dollars in shipping.

For example, I ordered
my mom a neat desk calendar from Vistaprint, and also got a free notepad (with my homeschool name on it).  I ordered photo magnets but it turns out adding your own photo adds $4.99 for 10 magnets.  So only a fair deal, not great.  But I also got a rubber stamp and a sticky note pad with our school name on it for shipping only.  oh and  if you use the link above you get 25% off!

I also uploaded our pumpkin patch pictures to Photoworks.com and made a compact book for which I had a coupon.  $4.49 shipping netted me an awesome book for the kids to look at and remember how much fun we had.  (I also ordered one for the 2 kids I babysit who went with us.)  You can always google "photoworks coupon code" and find the deals that are out there.  (Almost always 50 or 25 free prints for new customers)

Let me know what free ideas you have!  And check out other great ideas at http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com/shannon/

One great benefit to using these sites...not only are they less expensive, and offer great deals, their picture colors and clarity are far better than anything you can find locally! Kudos on these! I use snapfish...I'm going to look up photo works today and see what I can find!

Thanks for sharing!
