Everyday I get the news that a friend or relative is having a new baby. I could use some free baby gifts, what about you? Giving cheap, tacky stuff to my loved ones especially on such a special occasion is not an option. But if I could win some free baby stuff online to fill in the empty places in my homemade gift basket, that would be very cool.
You may be thinking, "OK, that’s a great idea but how do I make it work and is it worth the time and effort involved?" Yes, entering giveaways takes time and no one method works every time. Those entries don't type themselves and you never know what prizes that baby contests and giveaways might be offering. And there’s no guarantee that you will win although if you don’t bother to enter that IS a guarantee that you won't win a prize.
ODDS OF WINNING FREE BABY GIFTS in GIVEAWAYS
The odds are that if you enter a couple of giveaways a day or even a week that you will win some free baby gifts that will help you to spread your baby shower gift budget a little further. Here are some tips on ways to make the free baby gifts that you win pay off.
What you can do is buy one item that you can have personalized or a special keepsake to set the tone or theme for your baby gift basket that can be the star of the show from the sponsor of the baby giveaway if at all possible. Arrange it in the center of the basket and surround it with the cute stuff that you won in the baby giveaways you entered.
Items that you might win include:
Baby gift sets of dishes, clothes or sets of cute burp cloths and bibs
Baby booties and shoes
Gift certificates to baby boutiques or online stores
Baby samples and coupons
I would be totally amazed if there is anything on that list that a modern mom can’t use or will not appreciate. So long as everything is coordinated according to a particular color or theme your gift basket is sure to be a hit and nobody will every know that you put it together for such a cheap price using free baby gifts that you won in giveaways.
