Maggi Royale - Korean style stone bowl

Maggi has done it again. What a practical yet good quality bowl they have conjured up this time.

Royalicious, yes, I absolutely agree.

Econsave - free 3d Sheep year calendar

More Sheep merchandise to come.

Got this free as a door gift.

The amazing thing is it is a 3D wipeable calendar.

Very nice and a most welcome addition

on my house wall

Almost free

A little effort bagged me these 2 freebies earlier today. 

A 12v portable vacuum cleaner which costs RM28 after discount on Lazada ....

Colgate - 10" Plate

While the Boboi Boy dish series were of much better quality than this latest freebie, there are lots of people out there who'd buy a whole lot of toothpaste just to lay their hands on something practical like this.

Your local neighbourhood grocer for instance. Oh yes.

4 designs available for the taking.

You know what to do eh ? 

Campbell's Soup - Christmas Coin Bank

I personally thought that this was such a clever idea.

The coin bank is roughly the same size as a small 290g can of Campbell's Soup but it's obviously so much more prettier !

Lotte Koala's March - Yellow Koala Bear Soft Toy

Very extremely limited , I only spotted the last 2 special packs gracing the supermarket shelves today.

Believe me, you'll want to hunt them down wherever you are as they are suuuuuper cute ! It's so adorable , my camera blurred up.

Asadi - 3 way highlighter marker

I know, it's just a highlighter. Got kiddo some school shoes and was entitled to go claim this at the redemption counter.

There's a guy and girl working together and he breaks into a smile just as we're about to leave.

Kapal Api - Limited edition coffee press

Grabbed this as soon as I saw it just now.

The lid and holder are from plastic while the brand is embossed on the glass. The press itself is not made from extremely durable quality but I don't care because it was sold really cheap !

A press like this can cost anything from RM39 upwards, so when I say it was really cheap means it was dirt cheap.

Kandos Crispy - dinosaur soft toy

This small toy dinosaur can be found most everywhere.

Some supermarts even rip it out from a multipack and sell it for 50sen.

If retailers don't value freebies and wanna chuck it in one corner like it's worthless, maybe manufacturers should exclude them from getting any kind of premium seeing how they wanna make a few sen off a free gift even.

Kjeldsens - Mug

Ah, Kjeldsens....once upon a time every Malaysian household bought a Danish Butter Cookie tin for the home. Nowadays, there are so many competitors out there.

However, this Christmas, they've got a surprise for those who have stuck by them. A mug which comes in a Christmas box set.

If your local supermarket doesn't carry this Christmas set, well, take your money and buy it from honest retailers who won't remove the box and resell the mug in one horribly sad discount corner for a pittance.

Chanel No.5 - sometimes a better deal can be struck at department stores

Perfumes are sold at duty free prices here in Malaysia so go ahead, join the throngs , treat yourself and buy it on a whim. The best thing is, since Xmas is such a tremendous sales booster, yes even in snowless, sunny Malaysia, experienced shoppers can really use this adrenaline pumping period to their advantage. 

Think about it. Competition will be stiff. If the sales personnel refuses to throw in a freebie, walk away. 

Learn to expect a free gift. Be assertive. 

The companies here have provided their counter staff with so much freebies as a sales aid / incentive /tool, some even engage in trade offs with staff from other counters . They can indulge in that side hobby, because they kept it from you since you didn't ask for it.

Remember that.

Nestle Crunch fridge magnet

Me : " What do I have to buy in order to get this ? "

Her : " Nestle Crunch products "

Me : " and what products exactly ? "

Her : " The promotion is over but never mind, if you like it, I will give it to you for free "

Me : " Wow thanks ! " 

Of course, I did not stick my tongue out like Miley but this sums up how good I felt inside to be able to meet nice people every now and then.

Where from : top secret , I'm not getting her into trouble

Chek Hup - shopping trolley

One has to purchase 5 packs of their 3 in 1 drinks to get this.

I'm wondering how come there seems to be a season for premiums.

Different companies, yet everyone seems to decide on the same gift to urge the customer into buying a little bit more. As with this case, trolley giveaways are suddenly in trend . But knowing Chek Hup, once the gift is finished there is no repeat. I'm still thinking if I should

Where I found this : Aeon

Nando's - limited edition monopod stick

Gasp ! Monopod sticks can be found all over the place in Rome right now but this is really something else altogether.To get this limited edition selfie/wefie stick, you'll have to act fast and go check out their new menu. 

We choose "Gang 0f 4" solely based on the attractive price, which is RM95 not inclusive of taxes . I have to admit that I didn't even look at the menu items properly and was pleasantly surprised ( actually very excited ) when our server presented this to us. 

Waaaaaaa!!!!! So niceeeeeee !!!!!!

Tiamo - Infinite Love tote bag

Dragged myself halfway across to the other side of Penang island just to be the first batch to attend this 2 day Private Shopping Spree event. 

Tiamo shoes are the brainchild of a Malaysian lady who engaged the expertise of Korean manufacturing techniques .Thus while it may be a hybrid, once this brand starts breaking into airports , the possibilities for global expansion may be endless . Our Malaysian designers have got some new cutting edge ideas that really get consumers lusting lemme tell you.

Messi on a Pepsi

Here's Messi .....

Tiger Biskuat - mini biscuit bin

As usual, went snooping round the customer service area to see what freebies they had in store. These were in the window, the last three and at first, I thought they were mini dustbins. 

Oh no they weren't , these are the rectangular Tiger Biskuat biscuit bins...enough to contain every single one of the contents from the small 66g pack.

Fantastic !

F&N Sarsi - rubberised fridge magnet

You need to purchase 3 large bottles of Sarsi

in order to get this handy freebie.

Wrigley's Doublemint - mini mug

Old promo in conjunction with Wrigley's Doublemint  100 years celebration, which I decided to finally get today.

The mini mug comes together with 2 Wrigley's

in a plastic bottle as per below. Supposed to be 6 designs all in but this was the only one left on the shelf.

GAB - 2014 Malaysia Oktoberfest ceramic mug with tin lid

You know you'll want this beer mug , especially when it comes complete with a cute tin lid , like what you see in the picture below.

Keeps pests out of your tipple plus you'll never need to worry about losing the cover again since it is permanently attached to the arm.
