Have you heard of Houseparty? If not, Houseparty is basically word-of-mouth marketing. Companies will send party hosts (who agree to have a party and invite 10+ guests) a free party package containing free stuff. Sometimes really NICE free stuff, and you get to keep some of the items and pass some out to the party guests.
You have to apply to be a host, and a certain number are selected, usually based on demographics. I've probably applied 15 -20 times over the past 3 years, and have been selected about 5 times, I think. The parties were for Gerber baby food (got lots of free baby food and spoons), Juicy Juice (got reusuable shopping bags, juice, paper cups/napkins, playing cards, activity books), Hershey Bliss (got lots of chocolates to pass out, plus magnets and pens), a kid's made for TV movie (got leis, sling bags, a music CD, posters), and the latest was a Betty Crocker Cookie Pouch Houseparty (got a $15 Mastercard to buy ingredients, mixing spoons, magnetic notepads, and apron, cookie mix pouches, and paper cups/napkins/plates).
You don't have to have a big shindig--a family dinner with grandparents and cousins, a birthday party, or Rosary group might each easily be 10+ guests, so you can combine events to do a Houseparty.
I've received several emails lately about a bunch of new parties coming up, so if you are interested in doing a Houseparty, check out all the events here. Some of the upcoming parties are for Ziploc, GreenWorks, DiGiorno Pizza, and Stouffer's Toaster Subs.
If you apply, I hope you are selected to host! Houseparties are fun, and I have to admit--I love getting the big boxes of free stuff in the mail... :)
