Free stuff for you in August 2008

So it’s this time again, a new month and a new selection of free products for you to try. Got anything for the next month that you want people to have for free? Drop me an email on mike@blagman.co.uk:

Read Books for Free - Search Inside by Amazon
I’ve seen this feature popping up more and more and am on the verge of starting something like this up for Blagman: Don’t Buy it, Blag it. If you navigate to a book on amazon.co.uk (and even more so on amazon.com you’ll notice some books have a big arrow on them which reads “search inside”. Click it and you’ll be taken to an extract (or in some cases the entire book!). A good way to see if a book is worth buying and better than getting caught reading a book in Borders.

Free Cosmetics
It wouldn’t be a roundup without at least a few of these. This month we’ve got:
Roc Hyrda+Bio Active
Davidoff Cool Water
L’Oreal NutriSummer
Click the links, fill in the forms, job done.

Free Industry Shows
Fed up of paying for shows like the Clothes Show? Check out Nec Group.co.uk to browse every show on at the NEC and discover hundreds you never knew existed that are all free in Birmingham. Likewise ECO.co.uk has you covered for the Earls Court in London: Visit toy fairs, fashion shows and interior design events all for free.

Free Days Out
Fancy a free day out in the UK? A Free Day Out.co.uk have got you covered. Salt Works, Museums, Galleries and Glass Making events round off an odd if enlightening site.
