Free Burt's Bees toothpaste sample - again!

The Burt's Bees free toothpaste sample is back, so go nuts! Fill out the form to request your 0.5 oz sample of Burt's Bees® Natural Toothpaste - Multicare with Fluoride Formula. I've never tried Burt's Bees toothpaste, but these little guys are great for travel or for stowing in your office drawer in case of an extra-garlicky lunch. Just saying.

Free Burt's Bees toothpaste sample.

Burt's Bees wants you to try their brand-new natural fluoride toothpaste, so they're offering free 0.5 oz samples. Burt's doesn't give away totally free samples all that often, so definitely jump on this one if you like their hippie honey stuff.

A peek inside the Burt's Bees Celebration Bag.

After a long, long, LONG wait, my 25th anniversary Burt's Bees Celebration bag arrived! If you're curious to see what's in one, here are some pics:

View of the bag

The disemboweled bag

I'm not sure what counts as what, but here's a list of the contents:
  1. Lip Shimmer in Merlot
  2. Lip Shimmer in Toffee
  3. Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Zesty Red (!)
  4. Beeswax Lip Balm
  5. 2.5 oz Radiance Body Lotion
  6. Natural Body Wash for Men
  7. Herbal Milk Bath packet
  8. Buttermilk Milk Bath packet
  9. Therapeutic Bath Crystals packet
  10. Travel-size Buttermilk Soap bar
  11. Travel-size Poison Ivy Soap bar
  12. Travel-size Peppermint Shower Soap bar
  13. Travel-size Citrus Spice Exfoliating Soap bar
  14. Travel-size Peppermint Foot Lotion
  15. Travel-size Orange Essence Facial Cleanser
  16. Travel-size Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme
  17. Travel-size Hand Salve tin
  18. Travel-size Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Orange Wax lotion
  19. Travel-size jar of Radiance Day Creme
  20. Mini loofah thing
  21. Scented sleep mask
  22. Round clear-with-red-trim wristlet
  23. Foam lip balm cozy w/carabiner (I know, weird)
  24. Yet another lip balm (this one from using an extra promo code)

Considering that those tinted lip glosses run for about $4-5 each, this strikes me as a pretty good deal. Yeah, I'm sure these were items they needed to clear out of their warehouse or leftover promo things, but still, it's fun and smelly! My cubicle is already starting to smell like a gift shoppe.

Burt's Bees Celebration Bag, $25.

Burt's Bees is famous for their super-cute little toiletry kits stuffed full of tiny lotions, cremes, lip balms, shampoos, soaps, and more. They're not exactly cheap, but the Gift Bag Principle ("the excitement of a festively wrapped gift set is greater than the sum total of the excitement caused by its individual components") is in full effect.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, you can get their Celebration Bag for $25, which includes 3 regular-sized lip products, 12 mini-sized products, and 4 special gifts! Get free shipping with promo code HIVEBDAY, and use coupon code WELCOME to get a free lip balm.

The Easter Bunny put a little green in my basket this year, so I think I might go for this one! It's been too long since I had a beauty splurge... far too long.

Facebook: Burt's Bees free body lotion sample.

Want a free sample of Burt's bees body lotion?  Just go to the Facebook page, fill in the box that says “Tell Us What Your Skin Has To Say,” click "publish," and a box will come up to fill in your shipping information for your sample.

This does involve giving permission to a Facebook app to access your info and publish to your wall, so if you don't want that to happen, you should immediately un-allow them access after requesting your sample.

Burt's Bees toothpaste sample is back!

The popular Burt's Bees toothpaste sample offer is back again. You can either choose a 0.5 oz sample tube, or a $1 off coupon if you already know you like it and want to buy a full-size tube. I missed out on this one last time, so if you need some free toothpaste, don't dilly-dally!

Burt's Bees Premium Grab Bag - now $20!

Last week or so, I mentioned the Burt's Bees grab bag for $25 + free shipping. Well, the deal has just gotten even sweeter... now they're offering 20% off and free shipping with coupon code BURT20, so it's down to $20. I'll say it again: this would be a lovely gift as is for someone very lucky, or it would be great to split into several smaller gifts or stuff a bunch of stockings with. There are men's and unisex items in there, too, so don't assume it's just girly smelly junk! (Although it mainly is.)

Burt's Bees toothpaste sample is back.

The Burt's Bees toothpaste sample offer has returned, so if you didn't get yours the first time, get a free sample here. They show a few different kinds, but you'll be getting the Multicare with Fluoride (0.5 oz). You can also opt to get a $1 off coupon if you're already a fan and just want to buy a full-size tube.

(Thanks, Mom!)

Free Burt's Bees lip balm... in a month.

I know this is WAY advance notice on this one, but I say forewarned is forearmed, and I'll remind everyone again closer to the actual day. Anyway, Burt's Bees is celebrating their 25th "Burt Day," and if you RSVP for the event on Facebook, you can get one of 25,000 free lip balms they'll be giving away. Plus, there will be other giveaways and deals, apparently.

Stay tuned, we'll see what other info they post...

Burt's Bees lip balm giveaway - now more random.

Apparently enough people complained about the unfair head start that the Burt's Bees giveaway was handing to East Coasters by having a daily limit of 1,000 AND having the giveaway start at 9:00 am EDT (i.e., 6:00 am PDT for us chumps). So they've changed the rules of the game a bit.

"The giveaway starts anytime between 9 a.m. and 12 noon EDT but no one knows exactly when! To equal the odds and give you the fairest chance at a free balm, we've randomized the giveaway to start anytime between 9 a.m. and 12 noon EDT. It could be anytime. For instance -- it may be 9:15 AM one day, 10:25 AM the next, or 11:51 AM the day after! We don't know either - and that's what makes it fun! And if you don't get it one day, you'll get your chance. The balm giveaway goes through June 20, 2009."

So now they're forcing you to keep checking back and refreshing your browser all morning until their "randomizer" starts the daily allotment. This has some sinister overtones to me, but I guess it's fairer than just screwing the West Coast every day. Anyway, you have about two more weeks to score a free lip balm, so go to it.

Burt's Bees Premium Grab Bag is back!

I've written about the Burt's Bees mystery gift bag before... you pay $25 and get over $50 worth of lotions, lip balms, glosses, soaps, bath salts, and more. I ordered one myself last here; here's the rundown of what came in mine.

You may not like every single thing that comes in the grab bag, but there are so many items that it's perfect for splitting up into several small gift bags, or stocking stuffers to go along with bigger presents. I still don't think I've used everything that I got from the last one! There really was a ton of stuff, plus the excitement of the surprise.

Right now, shipping is $5, but they often seem to run promo codes for free shipping that coincide with these grab bags, so if I see one floating around, I'll let you know.

Burt's Bees: $25 grab bag, free moisturizing kit with $30 purchase.

Burt's Bees is still running their half-off grab bag special — get a random assortment of 12 products, a $50 value, for $25. Plus, with promo code MOISTURE, you can also get a free moisturizing kit with a $30 purchase, so you just need to add on $5 more.

This Overnight Bee-uty Bag fits the bill, at $6 (originally $15), a cute little makeup bag stuffed with travel-size beauty products. Or this Purse Pack, for $7.50, which comes stuffed with your choice of four lip balms.

Valentine's Day is coming, and what better gift than keeping your loved one's lips smoochably soft?

(Thanks, Mom!)

Facebook: Güd by Burt's Bees lotion sample.

Well, I'm not a big fan of the name, but you can get a free sample of Güd lotion (by Burt's Bees) when you "like" them on Facebook.

Ugh, the more I think about that name, the less I like it, and not just because that umlaut character was a pain in the butt to insert.

Free Burt's Bees lip balm if you get up at 6 am.

Burt's Bees is celebrating their 25th anniversary by giving away 25,000 free lip balms. But not in one fell throw-them-in-the-air swoop - in the most annoyingly stingy of ways. Each day for 25 days, between 9 am and noon EASTERN time, they're giving away 1,000 lip balms to the first registrants. Or, excuse me, a "chance" at a free lip balm. Not sure exactly what that means, but I'm sure as heck not getting up at 6 am if they're not even guaranteeing a free lip balm!

Once again, our friends on the East Coast steal a march on us. Enjoy, early risers.
