Hey there! I’m Craig, a 25-year-old Midwest native with a passion that might surprise you—it’s all about hunting down the best freebies out there. I’m not talking about free T-shirts or pens you get at events; I’m talking about full-sized products, exclusive samples, and high-quality goods that companies are eager to give away in exchange for positive reviews, testimonials, and a little brand awareness.
Growing up in the heartland, I learned the value of a dollar early on. My parents always emphasized smart spending, but as I got older, I realized there was a whole world of opportunity in getting amazing stuff for free—legally, ethically, and with a win-win twist for both sides. That’s when I discovered my knack for finding companies that are offering their products to savvy individuals like me, who know how to test, review, and promote.
It started small, with me signing up for newsletters and sample boxes during college. You know how it is—being a student is expensive, and every little bit helps. I remember the first time I got a box of high-end skincare products in the mail for free. All they wanted in return was an honest review on social media. It was a game-changer. Suddenly, I realized I could score top-notch products, just by doing something I was already good at—sharing my opinion.
Fast forward a few years, and what began as a hobby has turned into a full-blown passion. I’ve honed my skills to the point where I can spot a potential freebie opportunity from a mile away. I’m subscribed to all the right newsletters, part of exclusive tester communities, and have built relationships with brands that trust me to give their products the attention they deserve.
But it’s not just about getting free stuff for me. I genuinely love discovering new products, especially those from up-and-coming brands that are trying to make a name for themselves. There’s something incredibly satisfying about being one of the first people to try out a new snack, gadget, or grooming product, and then watching that brand take off because people like me helped spread the word.
My friends often joke that I’ve turned my freebie hunting into an art form—and maybe they’re right. I’m strategic about it. I know how to craft the perfect email pitch, how to leverage social media to build my credibility, and most importantly, how to write reviews that are both honest and helpful. I never compromise my integrity for the sake of a free product, and that’s why brands keep coming back to me. They know that when I review something, it’s going to be thorough, detailed, and—most of the time—positive, because I genuinely enjoy discovering the best in the products sent to me.
So what does a day in the life of Craig, the Freebie Hunter, look like? It’s a mix of excitement and strategy. I start my morning by checking my inbox for any new opportunities. From there, I’ll browse through a few of my favorite freebie sites and forums to see what’s new. If something catches my eye, I’ll dig deeper—research the company, check out their social media presence, and see if they have a reputation for sending out quality products.
Once I’ve secured a new product, the fun really begins. I love unboxing (who doesn’t?), and I’ll often share that experience with my followers on Instagram or TikTok. After that, it’s all about the review process. I take my time with this—really using the product in my daily life, making notes of my experience, and taking plenty of pictures. When I finally sit down to write the review, I make sure it’s informative, engaging, and honest.
Outside of my freebie hunting, I’m just a regular guy. I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking in the summer or snowboarding in the winter. I’m a huge fan of local craft beers, and I’ll never turn down a chance to try a new IPA. My friends and I are always on the lookout for the latest food trucks to hit our town, and we’re known to make a road trip or two just for a good meal.
But no matter what I’m doing, there’s always that little voice in the back of my head—what’s the next great product out there? Who’s going to send me their latest innovation to test and share with the world? It’s that thrill of the hunt that keeps me going, day after day.
If you’re a brand looking to get your product into the hands of someone who truly cares, or if you’re just a fellow freebie lover looking to connect, hit me up. I’m always excited to chat about the latest and greatest, share tips and tricks, or collaborate on something awesome.
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the internet. I can’t wait to see what freebies and fun come our way next!
Cheers,
Craig
