I got this delightful package of freebies in the mail from the Canadian Red Cross soliciting for donations. I didn't donate this time as there are so many other charities to consider. Daughter L said she gets nothing from her charities, how about you?
These stationary items are very cute and lovely
ReplyDeletei loved the journal
ReplyDeletebest days start with gratitude because until we don't start to be grateful for blessings we have our days are burdened with negativity
These are so nice. One co-worker carries her bag that she got from giving so much blood. Another brings in various things she gets from places she supports.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how different charities are. I guess getting a calendar is tops for me.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you posted about this. Yes, a lot of charities out there.
ReplyDeleteCiekawa forma zachęcania ludzi do płacenie na organizację.
ReplyDeleteyears ago I did received a big package from a charity for boys it was a christian organization-wondered how they could afford to do that
ReplyDeleteNice freebies, indeed!
ReplyDelete'Donations' has become a rather complex thing. There are many requests for donations and we have to set up priorities.
Sleep is the best medicine for cold and feeling unwell!
ReplyDeleteBob, Cassy, and your sister - are sweet family members that helped you feel better.
Cute stuff
ReplyDeleteI always feel that when a charity sends me "free stuff" in the mail, it's a form of bribery. If I want to give to one, I want to do so with no strings attached.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Christine!
Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteI often get nice presents here! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLovely pens :D
ReplyDeleteSon cosas muy lindas. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteNice freebies
ReplyDeleteI get so much junk! I have gotten nickels from MS, gloves from Red Cross, pens, cards from the mouth painting people, and on and on. I seldom send them anything.
ReplyDeleteLot of charities around here, seem to give out address return labels.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually send money to charities I hear from in the mail so I don't get those presents. We usually donate to the same charities year after year because they have some meaning to us.
ReplyDeletePlease don't get mad at me.
ReplyDeleteIt was the huge tsunami (2005?), I was in my first job and gave money to help, as much as I thought was "OK". To the German Red Cross.
From that time on I got cheap pressies, like real cheap, sent by German mail (costs extra) and I thought, oh, THAT is where my money went to?
I asked them to stop.
Yours look like value, but still. I would've been happy with a thank-you-e-card.
Also in Germany - and I only speak for "my" country - they have endless ads on TV.
I supported not the people but a company.
I did give money to re-plant trees here in Australia. I never got a gift and hence I know my money arrived for it's purpose.
I think your country found the golden middle! :-)
Also...real nice gifts! And useful, too!!!
(I got a "Christmas CD", a bag made of plastic (!).... then I said, get me off the list).
To yours :-) Nice to see some encourage with good gifts!
These are lovely freebies. I love the gratitude journal

Here in the UK, some of our charities give out freebies.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Wow. That's a lot!
ReplyDeleteI usually get return address stickers, that I always use for mail. And sometimes they send little note pads; I think they should save their money though.
