With Valentine’s Day less than 2 weeks away the online stores are doing all they can to attract you to making purchases with them. Boots are hoping you’re feel a whole lot of love towards them and have a couple of free gift offers running, although these are purchase required freebies. For those of you who prefer something for nothing then they have a competition running too.

Free Gift When You Spend £18 or More on Selected No.7 Make-Up
Spend over £18 of No.7 make up and you’ll qualify for a free cosmetics bag worth £31. We’re not sure what is in the bag, but if you like make-up then it could be a good freebie. If you receive this why not let us know what it’s like?

Free iPod Speakers with Calvin Klein
Spend £30 or more on selected Calvin Klein products, for example CKIN2U Her Eau de Toilette 150ml or Calvin Klein Obsession Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml, then you qualify for a free set of iPod Speakers. Details are fairly limited as to the value or make of the speakers.

Free Chocolates with Ralph Lauren
If you prefer Ralph Lauren then there’s a free box of Green & Black Chocolates with selected items including Ralph Lauren Polo Blue After Shave 125ml and Ralph Lauren Romance Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml.

Remember you can also get Boots advantage card points on online purchases! There’s an extra £5 of points available when you spend £25 or more on skincare products too!

But let’s not forget that competition! There’s a fabulous trip to Paris up for grabs in their Valentine’s Competition. Answer the question and send in your details before the 13th February 2009 and you could be enjoying a romantic break for 2 in The City of Love.

Magazine publishers like to incentivise new subscribers with special offers and deals and if you’re a keen computer fan then we have a great freebie offer from Dennis Publishing for you. They’re offering three issues of PC Pro for just £1 plus you get a free 26 piece toolkit worth £9.99. If you like the magazine then you’ll be subscribed to receive further copies (at a higher price) or you can cancel and the free gift and three issues remain yours – all for just £1.

Free 26 Piece Toolkit with 3 Issues of PC Pro for £1

If you like the idea of discount magazines then here’s some more 3 issues for £1 offers…

3 issues of Mens Fitness for £1
3 issues of Evo for £1
6 issues of Autoexpress for £1
3 issues of Computer Shopper for £1

Don’t forget to cancel your subscription if after the trial issues you’re not happy – otherwise you’ll automatically start paying more.

Let us know if you try the PC Pro offer and whether you got your free toolkit!

If you’re looking to sell some unwanted books, games, CDs or DVDs and are unsure where to offload them then now’s a good time to have a look at PlayTrade from Play.com as they’re offering 10 free trades until the end of January 2009. If you’ve got a stack of “why did I buy that film” DVDs, unwanted games or perhaps got sent some dodgy Christmas presents then use PlayTrade to see if you can convert them to cash!

Listing with PlayTrade is easy. You just locate the item you want to sell via PlayTrade and then decide the price that you’d like to sell at. You may find that other sellers are offering the item you’re putting up for sale so try and pitch the price accordingly. Remember you’ll also need to pay postage too!

Then you sit and wait and hope someone wants to buy your goodies! If they do you’ll get a notification from Play.com to send the item and once all’s done and dusted cash appears in your PlayTrade account. This money can be withdrawn or used to buy new games, DVDs, books, CDs etc from Play.com!

If you prefer Amazon to Play.com then you can also sell your stuff via Amazon. We’ve not used this service, but have used Play.com and have found it very simple (plus all our items sold)!

If you don’t fancy waiting to find a buyer then you can sell your old Games, CDs and DVDs to Music Magpie. This site works like the “recycle your mobile” sites but with Music Magpie you get paid for sending in your old music, games and films.

It’s worth noting that the payments aren’t particularly high. For example we checked the price of Hancock and were offered just £2.23. The cheapest PlayTrade offer on this movie starring Will Smith is £8.39 – so if you do have a copy to move on then it’s well worth trying to sell via the likes of PlayTrade!

If your New Year resolution is to try and lose weight and you’re thinking of joining a club then this freebie offer from Weightwatchers might well be worth taking a closer look at! They’re offering a 2 week free trial to Weightwatchers Online – this gives you access to their step by step plans along with interactive tools, tips and recipes.

At the end of the free trial period, you will automatically be subscribed to the 3-Month Plan and charged £49.95 for your first 3 months or to make sure you just enjoy the free trial simply cancel your subscription before the free trial period ends (midnight GMT on the 14th day of your free trial).

The free trial offer currently runs until March 19th 2009.

If you like freebies then there’s another offer for you too – although this on does require a purchase. Buy a Monthly Pass and you’ll get a free ‘Irresistible’ cookbook worth £3.99. It’s packed with 109 delicious and affordable recipes the whole family can enjoy.

If the above don’t excite you, but you’re still keen to lose weight then sign up for the free Weightwatchers newsletter and you’ll be sent regular newsletters with free recipes and 100s of effective weight-loss tips and secrets!

Free 2 Week Trial for Weightwatchers – Ideal for New Year Resolutions!

If your New Year’s Resolution is to eat a bit healthier then new foodie site Graze may well be worth a look. It’s a food service that delivers healthy snack boxes to you as often as you like. You can choose the snacks and content of your box too – and to encourage you to give them a try your first box is free and second half price.

The offer applies to the small box – which usually costs £2.99! You can opt to have a medium box (£3.89) or a large box (£4.79) but the offer doesn’t apply to these boxes.

You can select the products that make up your box (and there’s a load of healthy goodies to choose from) but if time is short then you can choose from some ready made boxes. There are boxes for 3aday, classic and luxury plus nutritional boxes for energy, wellbeing, preworkout and postworkout.

The foods include fresh fruit, fresh veg, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, savoury snacks and olives! If you don’t like certain foods then you can tell Graze to never include them in your box. You can change your order at any time too.

So for just £1.49 you’ll get two small boxes from Graze, after that (if you don’t cancel your order) it’ll be £2.99 for a small box. It’s a nice idea, a fairly cheap trial offer and could help you eat a bit more healthily, perhaps at your desk when you’d usually be munching cakes or chocolates, in 2009!
