Cool Re: what freebie have you given away this week?

I have a little handmade jewelry business and have a nice customer who is housebound. I take a small selection to her home to 'shop'.

She has has bought many nice earrings in the past so I gave her a free jewelry box this week. I had taken an assortment of small gifts for her to look over for her medical helpers this year.

I love giving extras with my business as I am new at this and every customer is so special.

we bought a new stereo and speakers from wmt, and gave our old set to goodwill store... we took our six foot bookshelf and storage shelving and relocated it to our patio for pickup from a pal...he is gonna use it for his sons dorm room...i gave a heuge cd case that was black leather to goodwill.. i gave a small hand vac, we never used to goodwill... i gave a huge plastic blue tote filled with beads, and the like to make necklaces, i purchased for a pal a couple of years ago, she never stopped by as promised, cause she made friends with my next door neighbor, who is friendly to us, occasionally, when it suits her needs, so, goodwill now owns it.......i still talk to this friend she just never stops by and i was tired of reminding her and storing it... she buys from my garage sale in the summer and i buy from hers... go figure.......clutter be gone... if i have to find a new home for an item twice, out the door it goes... hehehe...
