THE FREE LIST
mintMONGOOSE — Free Handmade Jewelry Set (up to a $29.99 value)
You can never go wrong with wearable gifts. There’s a reason why giving someone jewelry is always a good idea throughout the year! If you want to add a unique, rustic touch to this classic option, look into the app and search for mintMONGOOSE’s high-quality, free jewelry set offer.
Personalize it to match your dear one’s taste with rose gold, gold, or silver options. To complete it, you can also add earrings, rings ($3.99 extra), and a t-shirt ($9.99 extra).
Once you have the perfect combination, you’re ready to check out.
To claim your free set, a subscription is required, but don’t worry, it’s very affordable! The prices depend on your plan and range from $19.99 to $29.99 per month. Not bad for getting a complete handmade jewelry set with a personalized story!
MintMONGOOSE is a small business owned by a dedicated mom. Don’t wait to get your free pieces because there are limited sets available to ship per month. Make sure to grab a spot before the end of the month to make the list and the holiday gift-giving season!
Hims — Personalized Prescription Hair Loss Products ($45 value)
For the men in our lives, we have a small, but mighty gift option: Hims. As a telehealth company, Hims is tackling issues that most men face, but are constantly being brushed under the rug instead. Its clinically-proven treatments are backed by licensed, healthcare professionals, and aim to help men address everything from hair loss to mental health, and sexual wellness to skin care.
Hims is by default a subscription-based company because who can reverse a receding hairline, cure anxiety, or get (and maintain) glass skin in four weeks?!
We didn’t know who, either.
Regardless, if you’ve noticed that a close guy friend, boyfriend, and/or husband has been struggling with hair loss, look no further. Get that fella a free month of Prescription Hair Loss Products when you subscribe through the Miles app to give him the chance to try something that has been proven to work (GQ seems to approve). All this while keeping your wallet nice and fat!
The kit is valued at $45, and is a limited-time offer found only in the app. Indeed, as with most subscription companies, you can adjust or cancel anytime. That way, you can keep the kit, and surprise him on Christmas morning!
We think this gift is particularly thoughtful, and we’re sure that the lucky man in your life who receives it will think so, too.
Beans&sparks — Free Personalized Kid’s Book ($21.99 yearly value)
Speaking of thoughtful gifts, we have a special offer in the app that is sure to delight the kids! Beans&sparks is a publishing company that lets you create and print a storybook where the main character is the child of your choice.
Create the avatar on their site to resemble little Jimmy, baby Sue, or whoever you want to give the storybook to, and watch the site compile an interactive book just for them.
For the holidays, you can get the first one for free (just pay a $2.99 shipping and handling fee) and get it delivered to your door. The best part? There are 11 more educational adventures to explore when you give them the subscription to a monthly book ($21.99, shipping and handling included)!
Your Baby Club — Free Newborn Kit ($35 value)
If you or your friend are expecting to have a new baby, a practical gift idea for new parents is a bunch of baby goodies in a box!
Parents spend an average of $12,000 on baby supplies their first year, and $900 alone is on diapers!
Your Baby Club is there to help new parents adjust before and after their bundle of joy arrives, and by gifting them a free baby kit, you’re sure to make their day.
The kit includes shampoo, wipes, a bottle, lotion, diapers, a bib, and many more items, all valued at $35.
While this kit won’t account for all the diapers that will be tossed into the can, it will definitely help with their everyday baby tasks, and that makes this original gift idea worth it.
Stay Tuned For Part 2
These are but a few free rewards that you can redeem within the app that can make for wonderful gifts. In the next part of this two-part series, we will cover inexpensive offers that can make anyone believe you got them for a pretty penny (but didn’t).

Happy Saving!
