No seriously, these amazing offers to the U.K. market are making me want to pack my bags and move!

This is the second offer I find this week for U.K. readers. I’ve featured a number of companies offers one free bottle of their anti-aging serum or perhaps one free trial offer of their teeth whitening product, but I’ve NEVER (EVER-EVER) have found a manufacturer or distributor who was willing to give away ONE FULL YEAR of products!

Lancôme is one of the most prestigious French skincare and cosmetic brand and this contest is simply outstanding.

***Sex and the City U.K. prize draw***

If you don’t live in the UK, but have girlfriends who live there … you owe it to them to send them an email about this offer!!!

If you’ve been reading my site for a while you already know that most of the free beauty samples, free giveaways and prizes are often only open to American readers.

A number of women living internationally have emailed me asking me how they can participate.

This is a rare day, but this Sex and the City prize draw is ONLY open to U.K. readers! Yes, you’ve read correctly American readers cannot participate … only British women can participate.

What can I add more to this post because the title is so crystal clear?

There are a lot of promotions and contests this month and some of them are quite incredible in terms of the prizes that you could possibly win.

I know contests are not everyone’s cup of tea and some people don’t like to participate in them, but there are loads more who live for contests!

I have a feeling this contest will get a lot of women paying attention because I personally have never seen anything remotely close to this.

This distributor is offering one lucky participant the chance to win one Coach Handbag and Wallet!!!

There are more and more companies and distributors willing to offer free beauty samples and free makeup samples to clients in these difficult times to allow consumers to become more familiar with their brands.

In the past few weeks, we’ve featured quite a few new offers so I thought I’d take the time to do a quick summary post to make it easier for you to find the listing just in case you were interested in seeing which products you might be able to try out for free before buying it.

Here are the most recent posts featuring free beauty samples:

1) Get your 9-piece RawMinerals Discovery Kit for FREE with this free beauty sample offer!

2) Free Trial Offer for Ageless Skin Care Serum

Movie Star Look is an advanced teeth whitening system that you do at home. This is not the same as getting your teeth whitened at the dentist with a zoom lightener (which can run you up to $500 per session if not more), but you’ll pay much less for your Movie Star Look.

If you like blueberries, red wine, cola, flax seed oil, tea or coffee you might notice that your teeth aren’t as white as they once were. Smokers also have to contend with stained teeth that are not pearly white.

Aging is another factor that most of us might not want to think about, but as you celebrate more and more birthdays, your teeth will become less and less white … unless you use teeth whitening products to maintain a brighter and more youthful smile.

A few months ago, I got wind there were a few promotional companies that were offering free promotional packages for the budding chef in all of us.

I had featured these packages and I’ve noticed that a lot of readers have taken advantage of them so I thought I’d highlight them again.

Now that days are so short and weekends are cold, it might be a great time to try new recipes or just finally learn how to cook!

I should start off by saying that some of these gift cards are the equivalent of up to $1000 in savings on many products you use and some are even gift cards to stores like Victoria Secrets, Michael Kors, Apple iPhone, Mac Computers, North Face, Best Buy, Target and I even have found an Exxon mobile gift card and an offer to receive a free pair of Lindsay Lohan leggings.

This could not be a more timely type of offer in this economy and a great opportunity to recession-proof your gift-giving budget!

These offers are quite self explanatory, so I won’t go into too many details on each of them. I will simply list them all and you can click on the appropriate link in order to get more details on how to participate to receive the different gift cards for each merchant or each product.

For all these offers you will be directed to a page that will give you details on how to enter to win each gift card. From past experience, many of these offers are managed by distribution companies and survey companies, so you might need to answer a few marketing oriented questions in order to receive your free gift card.

***This is a long list of gift card offers, so you might want to get a nice cup of coffee or tea and sit down for an hour to see if these offers might help you with recession-proof your holiday shopping budget!***

25 Gift Card Offers:

This might be the most ambitious giveaway I’ve come across lately. CookLikePros is giving out a Kitchen Aid Pro5 Plus Mixer to readers who fill out their survey and fill out their questionnaire.

There is no doubt that not everyone will be willing or interested in taking the time to fill out forms and answer surveys … but if you don’t have any objections to this, you’re only a few clicks away from this CookLikePros offer.

The Kitchen Aid Pro5 Plus Mixer will handle any heavy duty mixing you mixing you need in the kitchen and will help make some delicious healthy desserts.

Here are some of the features of the Kitchen Aid Pro5 Plus Mixer (I got these details from Kitchen Aid’s web site):

A few consumer survey services are looking for some consumer feedback and in return they’re offering free Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray cookware (these are two separate offers).

You’ll have to fill out the questionnaire and short survey, but if you were interested in getting some new cookware to start cooking healthier meals, this might just be something you’ll want to explore further.
