Baby Freebies *US Edition*

Are you a Canadian who frequently visits the United States? Do you have access to an American address (close friend or family)? If you answer yes to both questions, then you're in luck! You can get some extra baby freebies!

My goal is to have different options to find the right products for my baby. Which is the reason why I started to look for baby freebies in the United States, because Americans get different samples than Canadians. Luckily for me, I frequently shop in the states (despite our horrible exchange rate, it's still cheaper to buy some items down south) and can easily request for these freebies.

Canadian Baby Freebies!

Why did I decide to do this post? There are few reasons...

#1 - It is a great way to try products without having to buy the full size because you don't know how baby will react to certain products. They're also perfectly conveniently sized to throw into diaper/overnight bag 😁

#2 - When I was on the hunt for samples, there was a few things I realized. Some information were either out dated or incomplete, and even worse, Canadians did not qualify (For the United States only)

#3 - Last but not least... Sharing is caring! I love to share my findings with others! Who doesn't like free stuff?!


So here are some freebies I've found so far. And when I say freebies, I mean absolutely free! No cost at all (except if you want to count your gas). I noticed some posts/forums would state "free" but you would have to make a purchase or pay for shipping, so I wouldn't consider that really a freebie...
