3.0 out of 5 stars Most of the things could be found online, March 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Free Stuff for Baby! (Paperback)

This book was So-So. I found that many of the things were outdated. Also, it is great for someone who lives in Canada as half of the things in the book are for Canadians. Also, it is great for parents of multiples. Almost every company gives something for multiples but not necessarily one baby. Buy it used.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!!, February 29, 2004

This review is from: Free Stuff for Baby! (Paperback)

I believe this book is a great resource for a busy new mom!! We all know this stuff is out there--you just have to research it and ask for it. However, as a new mom, when do you have time to just surf the net to look for it all? I found this book to be an awesome way to find great free items in minutes (thanks to all of Ms. Hannah's hard work!)

I, too, did find things that were out of date, however, it is just like anything else on the web--the web is in a constant state of change. But, happily, i found things to be better than some of the "freebies" noted--i wrote to Del Labs for the free samples of Oragel and coupons, and we received a Sesame Street book, that my daughter adores, FOR FREE!!! Applied for the potty training kit from Charmin, and they had ran out, but took our info for future giveaways. A few weeks later, we received a surprise--the potty training kit!

I also found Ms. Hannah's website very user friendly and she is very happy to receive emails about new info that her readers come across. She keeps up to date info on it shared by her readers. It must be such a daunting task to try to stay on top of all the freebies and giveways, and i, for one, appreicate her effort!!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not as good as Baby Bargains, September 7, 2003

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   

This review is from: Free Stuff for Baby! (Paperback)

I had a chance of checking out this book, trying to find things that would make my day saving money in getting things we needed for our baby. The truth is I felt it to be very week in comparison to "Baby Bargains". Most of the information listed consists largely of links to sites for different categories of baby stuff. Want to obtain the same info? Go to Goggle and type a keyword that relates to what you're looking for. Not worth spending the money on it, in my opinion, but check it out on your next visit to your local bookstore with a cup of coffee.
