Launched in November 1998, Free UK Stuff is essentially two sites in one: a 'public' site for old offers and a 'members' site for new offers. To save confusion, I'll just state now that it can be reached through five URLs as they've secured their name under the following domain endings: .co.uk, .net, .org, .org.uk and .com. Free UK Stuff is exactly what it seems to be: a collection of free stuff available in the UK. Any overseas hopefuls clicking ... ...The site is brightly coloured and easy to navigate; pleasingly, the text is contained within a bordered white area. I find it irksome having to read text on a coloured or patterned background. There are several banner/button ads but they are reasonably well integrated and do not interfere with perusing the site. There is currently one pop-up ad, which appears when you click on a freebie link. This is slightly annoying as freebies are displayed in ...

Advantages: Lots of freebies to choose from Disadvantages: Lots of sign-in pages
Yes, that's right, £350 vouchers, chocolate biscuits, chocolates, tons of cat food, pencil cases with rubbers and notepads, roll-up calculators, books, bubble baths, toners and cleansers, shampoos and conditioners, Pepperami sticks, Cif window wipes, a letter weigher, sweets and magnets are just some of the things I have received since I joined this site.
I love freebies and this site is brilliant for freebie lovers. I think it is always encouraging ... ...freebies.
~How I became a freebie addict~
My quest for freebies started when I received a Pepperami through the post. I received this after following a link on a competition page (I am also a dedicated comper, but don't get me started on that topic that's another report I will have to write in the future). I know, I know it was only a Pepperami and it's not as if I'm even particularly fond of Pepperami (I gave it to my sister), but it was just ...

Advantages: you wake up to lots of pressies every morning Disadvantages: you do get some totally useless stuff
This site is the best ever! Freebies galore and none of that filling out the whole form then seeing it says "US ONLY" at the bottom! This ones made specifically for the UK which is precisely why it’s so good, as it means all freebies shown are available to you (if you live in the UK that is!)
There is something for all ages on and the range of freebies is brilliant, they’re giving away everything from toiletry samples to free software.
... ...am on it day and night ordering allsorts; often the stupidest things such as today I received some samples for address labels! Why would I ever need address labels? (By the way they had other peoples addresses on not my own to add to there usefulness!) I don’t own my own home let alone my own business, so why, you might ask did I feel the urge to order them in the first place? Well this is just a tame example of the powers of freeukstuff! It ...

Advantages: you get something for nothing. For once! Disadvantages: You many not actually get it though!
I'm sure I need not explain the concept of this website, or infact other sites like it, so I will just start by explaining why I believe this site to be one of the most comprehensive uk freebie sites around today.
I came across this site around a year ago when I was going through one of my "I'm gonna be a tight-fisted b****rd and try and get as much paid for as possible" phases. Well I think I'm still going through that phase, as I've almost become ... ...thanks to www.freeukstuff.co.uk!
The structure of this site to begin with seems a little strange, but then you begin to realise that the person responsible for it has split it into two sections (effectively two sites). One being the public site, and the other being the members site. Becoming a member is easy, and just requires you to give them your email address for a newletter. Then you can log into the members site with ease. The difference between ...

Advantages: Source of freebies. Disadvantages: Not always uptodate, concern over what companies will do with the info you provide.
Sex sells, scandal generates interest and freebies get the punters rolling in. Most of you at some point will have had a freebie from a company, companies are always giving out free gifts in an attempt to lure you into their fold of loving customers. You get a freebie - they get a possible customer for life.
The problem for those who like these gifts, has been finding out who is giving them away - a problem no solved thanks to the Internet.
Sites ... ...companies that are falling over themselves to give you a freebie. The site itself, has a members area and public area, I strongly suggest you simply ignore the public area, as it is not updated very often, so will just result in you wasting time on out of date offers.
You may struggle with the registration process, I did, but it may have been a one of problem, but once registered you are emailed a password and userid (I have a suspicion everyone ...

Advantages: Excellent design, good descriptions Disadvantages: Requires more up to date content
...I discovered FreeGuide.co.uk when it first started out and found that the 'free stuff' was fairly limited and the site wasn't so good. However as it has developed and grown it has become a freebie great and i think it is now a lot more in depth and functional. The layout is very useful, the design is very good and the descriptions accurate. I think content-wise that freeukstuff.co.uk is slightly better at finding the good freebies, but freeguide.co.uk is not far behind.
So to conclude, I feel that freeguide is a very good site in terms of design and layout, but could benefit from more research into finder more useful freebies that produce results. I like the freeukstuff.co.uk approach of using more opinionated descriptions....

Advantages: reliable , quite fast ,free software promotion Disadvantages: support is very slow
...When I cant use my bt number to dial-up during the day time , Lineone is the internet provider i use. The service is great and the speed is above average most of the time.
I used to use lineone's free internet thingy until they ended it , so i used a different ISP. I kind of did a one man boycott and didn't use them for over a month. Then one day on freeukstuff.co.uk I found a deal giving away free , yes free software. The stuff on offer wasn't great but it was worth it for free. I followed the link and was surprised that it was lineone offering this sensational deal.
So the offer : The offer consisted of signing up and giving your details including your address. Next I had to pick a software title from the following . Rollcage , DO3D and comptons atlas.Oh and some other free titles were available but i can't remember them off the top...
