Another subscriber freebie!  They seem to offer something every month.  This one came with such a beautiful smelling candle.

There were a couple I never bothered to try to get.  I remember once they had a 3 pack of barbeque sauce, and one time they had a box of pastries.  There were probably some more, but I can't remember what they were.  If it's been more than 8 hours it doesn't seem very likely.

 

Designs by Dena - The Ultimate organizer (RSP:  ~$19.99)

Free!  Another mall promotion.  I saw it three hours later, but I felt certain they'd still have some left.  When I arrived, it looked like they probably had at least 15.

The inside:

Comes with some sheets of paper, notepads, stickers.  It is binder sized though.  I thought that was far too big for an organizer. 

I had to pick up something at this mall anyway, so it was nice to get a freebie at the same time!

Another subscriber freebie...I love this mall!  It came packaged like this:

They said it was a $47 value, and there were only 20 of them there.  I found out about it 3 hours after they posted it, so I'm happy they still had some left.

The Body Shop - Strawberry and honey beauty bags (RSP:  $15 each)

New Year's freebies from my favourite mall!  I actually didn't notice they were giving them away until I clicked on the link.  I'm glad I did!

They sent the e-mail at an odd time, and I saw it about an hour and a half later.  They only had 40, so I wasn't sure if they'd still be there by the time I came.

I got the strawberry one and my brother got the other one.  They each have a 60 ml shower gel, a 50 ml body butter, a 30 ml hand cream, and a body poof.

It turns out that they're even more expensive separately!  The gel retails for $5, the body butter retails for $6, and the hand cream is $10!  That's already $21, not including the cost of the pouch and the puff.  What a great freebie!

A freebie from Willowbrook...they only had one for the first 40 people, but since it was valued at $33, it was worth coming for!  I called first just to be sure.

It includes this lavender roll on (retails for $22.95!),  this rose lip balm (retail $4.95), and this rejuvenating body lotion (retail $3.95).

Which means they valued that bag at $1 :P.  It's actually nicer than I thought..it zips up and the material is better than a reusable bag.

Freebies from Willowbrook's outdoor expo.  They said that each bag was worth $25+!  Half of the stuff wasn't actually from their bag, I picked them up from the vendors that were there.

I also got a $25 gift card to a mall for viewing a presentation!  It was a good day.

Freebies from a mall.  They were having a fitness challenge...same as last year.  Still, a nice gesture!

The pedometer is actually better this year.  The screen is at the top!  It's so convenient, since all you  need to do is look down.  The other ones are forward facing so it takes a bit more effort.

I went to a fashion event at Willowbrook mall and got this goodie bag for signing up.  There's a mirror, chapstick, dark chocolate bar, and chocolate covered pretzels.  That was the first time I've had the latter and they were great!  The combination just works somehow. 

The event however, wasn't how I expected at all!  I thought there was going to be a fashion show - or at least some sort of presentation - but it was literally 7 tiny info booths.  It wasn't worth going out of the way for...even though there were free mini cupcakes.

This is a gift from Willowbrook mall.  There's a pedometer, a kashi bar, plus a bunch of store specific coupons.

You get it when you sign up for their 'shape up' promotion...this mall always has something neat going on! 

They're even having a reality TV trainer give a speech next month!  I'm excited for that...they're even having a free lunch with it!

Seeds, soap, lip balm, and notebook w/pen - all freebies from Willowbrook's eco-fashion show!

I knew it would be the same pouch set as before, I already gave the pouch away.

They had snacks there too!  Had my first macaroons...they weren't as good as expected.

Actually, I found them pretty disgusting!  I expected them to be fluffy upon first glance.  I'm just not fond of hard sugar.

Also made my first taste of reverse osmosis water - that was great!

Willowbrook mall pouch
Escents aromatherapy - matcha tea soap (RSP:  $4.95)
Escents aromatherapy -  renewal lip balm (RSP:  $4.95)

I love Willowbrook mall! They always have such great promotions and events.

This freebie was just for signing up for their newsletter. They're having an eco-friendly fashion show in about a week and I think they'll be giving these away too.
