100 Companies That Send Free Products to Mommy Bloggers!


The following kid's companies send free 
products to mommy and lifestyle bloggers. Some also pay you for any sales you bring in! These are notated by a *.  Simply send them an e-mail request. If they are an affiliate program (pay you for sales), wait for their approval e-mail before making your request. For free samples of successful e-mail requests, see the post here. For all of the brands marked with a *, you'll also receive commissions for any sales you bring in. Many of these offer giveaways as well which is fun for your readers and will grow your subscribers. It never hurts to ask! When the link goes to the company's website, simply scroll to the bottom or the top and click on "Contact Me" for their e-mail address. Use their Media or Press contact if there is one. Otherwise, use their customer care or any e-mail they provide. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: These are all brands I have received free items from, but that isn't a guarantee that they will offer items to everyone who requests them. ;)

 Educents!* By far my favorite children's store to work for! Every month, they send their bloggers a request of items they'd like reviewed. They also pay you commissions and have super fun affiliate contests very often that are simple to win! Please tell them Celena Marie sent you as they give store credit for referrals. :)

Lil  Passports* allows their affiliates to choose if they'd like a 3-month world or U.S. subscription. I've done both, but prefer the U.S. (pictured above) and so do my kids.

Bramble Box Props (link is the 5th one down in the list)


Imperial Glamour Beauty Box... Pamper Yourself Like a Princess!

Imperial Glamour is a monthly beauty subscription box that is filled to the bring with "high quality, natural, organic and vegan products" all revolving around a monthly theme. This month's theme was "Hair Ya Go!" I'm always especially excited about hair items because my hair is my best feature so I couldn't wait to try these natural goodies!

The Rundown   
Box Type: Beauty  
Includes: 5-6 sample and full sized beauty items, all picked to match your profile!  
Cost: $16/mini or $25/deluxe (month-to-month)  
The Value of This Unboxing: $35.09 value

My favorite items this month were the hair tie (my favorite had just snapped the day before receiving the box so this couldn't have been more timely! It's super cute--I need to take pics of me wearing it) and the Sea Salt Hair Spray (a wonderful way to spritz up my hair when I don't feel like fully styling it on a non-washing day... plus it smells amazing!)
 Everything Included in this box:
Harvey Prince Organics Keravegan Hair Masque $3 
Natural Soap Shop Sea Salt Spray in China Rain and Travel Shampoo/Conditioner Set $8

I really love the thought that goes into these boxes. This is my second box and I can't wait for the next! It's now something I look forward to every month. Natural beauty products can be hard to find and the IG Beauty Box makes is so much easier, plus I just love the surprise of not knowing what to expect and love the monthly themes. Try this box! You'll love it!

Vintage, Charming, Delicious: So Many Personalized Valentine's Day Gifts at Zazzle!

 
**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links.
I fell in love with Zazzle's vintage Valentine's Day theme from the old-fashioned bird cards to the many customizeable options they have available for stamps. Aren't these lovely?!
Around the time I was shopping Zazzle, I also started planning a pre-Valentine's Day party for the kids. When I saw the customizeable cake pops, I just knew I had to get us some! Do you see the "Eat Me" cookies stuck to the cake pops? Those were the tiniest, tastiest little sugar cookies ever! The cake pops themselves were red velvet (my favorite) and were absolutely heavenly. Never have I had better! The cake pops at Zazzle are so fun to shop--you can get just about anything written on them or can choose a picture, plus you select what kind of chocolate you want them dipped in, as well as what kind of cake flavor. I will definitely be buying some of these again. They also shipped super fast and would be a wonderful gift for any loved one out of town!
I love, love, love scented candles so I had to get this one! Each of Zazzle's monogram candles includes free personalization, plus you choose any font color you'd like, as well as the scent. I chose Raspberry Vanilla, but there are eight other heavenly scents.
Zazzle always has discounts! You can currently get 40% off mugs, pillows, & more in their home decor section, plus 15% off sitewide with the code COZYUPSALE17. Let me know if you find a treasure!

Sprouting Threads: The Most Charming Kids' Fashion Subscription!


This month's Sprouting Threads e-mail newsletter came with an amazing deal--add a sibling and get $100 of free clothes--no catch!  I signed up my little guy in a jiffy, as my daughter has been their fan for awhile. Scroll down for the links and promo code...

Sprouting Threads is a subscription based clothing service that gives the members options of frequency, quantity & assortment to meet their family’s needs. Members are also given the option to “rethread” (or send pieces back after their child outgrows them) for store credit. Keep what you like and return the rest. I sent in some items and got a great amount of credit for them!  
Sprouting Thread's personalized touch is very nice.  Their prices vary depending on what you keep and there's always free shipping both ways.  There's a handy paper which lists each item along with the price.  Keep what you love and send the rest back. They credited my send-backs quickly and their customer service is so wonderful! Each time I had questions (and sometimes I have a lot of them!) they were so sweet and thoroughMy favorite thing about Sprouting Threads is that you set up your child's tastes so they get something you and they will love, but you also are surprised!  If you need to pause your subscription, you can also do that.  After Christmas and some unforeseen dental bills, we needed to cut down on our budget but now I can't wait for our next box!

Her favorite outfit from our last Sprouting Threads box was this one.  She wears this skirt and top whenever they are clean!  She absolutely loves them!  So adorable, and only the most well-made clothing lines are featured.  Once you receive your box, your child has 5 days to try on his or her clothes and decide what to keep. Shipping is free both ways.

How to get the discounts:
Sign up your first child using this link for the $25 credit.
In "My Account", click "Add a Sibling" and do the same for him/her, putting in the code SIBLING100 at checkout.  On your e-mail receipt, it will show your promo code.  Voila! It's as easy as that!

Devotions Delivered... absolutely perfect, by-mail inspiration!


In December, I had the wonderful blessing of receiving my first subscription packet of Devotions Delivered... and these stories and pictures touched my heart! Every month, the artist sends you (or a friend) a collection of beautiful 4 (5x7) prints paired with scriptures and an inspiring devotional. Read on to find out how you can get yours with a discount!
I loved the presentation! The devotional pairings came wrapped so beautifully.

The devotions are meant to be read once a week, but of course you could read one a day, or even all in one fell swoop for a nice dose of encouragement. They're wonderful in the early morning with nice cup of hot tea and prayer time with my savior.

The postcards for each devotion are uniquely captured photos paired with verses that compliment them perfectly. The devotions are filled with hope and promise. The photographer and writer are one in the same; God seems to inspire her with just the right things to say to touch our hearts...

This was the first one I read and the story captured me. I just had to read more! I read them all at once, and then thought of them more throughout the next week.

I especially love this verse: "Let the morning bring me work of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life."

The prints include US postcard postage included which I thought was a nice touch. They're ready to write on and drop in the mail so you can spread His message of love to whichever friend or loved one pops into your mind as you read and pray.
Use the promo code SISTER20 for 20% either on a subscription--sign up by Feb. 23 to receive the next collection! Who do you know who would love Devotions Delivered?
