Not all free gifts with purchases are created equal; there are those that are stowed away in the cupboard for months and end up taking up space.

Then there are those that keep appearing on the kitchen counter every other day.  Here are 8 free items that I’ll absolutely use over and over again:

++ oo1 lasagna ceramic dish ++

// for baking brownies,

// and honey granola.

---

++ 002 stainless steel spoon ++

// bundled free with condiment, fits nicely in my zero-waste takeaway lunchbox.

---

++ 003 porcelain spoon ++

//  originally for jams, now for scooping everything delicious.

---

++004 cotton dish towel ++

// workhorse in the kitchen, extra brownie points for the hanging loop.

---

++005 mug ++

// that have been around for a long long time.

---

++ 006 4pc cutlery ++

// because I never own a branded one before, not that the logo matters. The point is it’s free AND useful.

---

++ 007 plastic container ++

// the handle on the cover made it a handy snack carrier, minus the need for plastic bags.

---

++ 008 tote bag ++

// simply useful, for avoiding plastic bags.

Are you equally choosy about accepting the free gifts into your house?
Have you ever ended up NOT buying something because the bundled gift was not desirable?
