Samples or Subscriptions?

I am a fan of birchbox and I love sephora's samplers (i.e. mascara 8-10 types in sample sizes with coupon for discount on a full size) around the holidays. I tried searching and the posts were about specific subscriptions for curated boxes (more gift basket like than samples).  I am looking for more basic samples like: diaper rash cream, nipple cream, baby tylenol type medications, maybe a couple pacifiers etc., little things that you just need to try before you decide what you like. 

Are there any similiar services for baby stuff? Or way to request samples that isn't all spam? Is there a baby version of the target/walmart travel size products aisle somewhere? 

Re: Samples or Subscriptions?

  • You can look into Citrus Lane. I don't subscribe to it but a friend does and she loves it.

  • @cmcweeney Thank you they have very cute stuff but the subscrition is for bigger stuff than what I was looking to sample.
  • I received a ton of samples from motherhood maternity. Diapers, laundry detergent, wipes, pacifiers, and so much more. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but it does help.
  • I've been really happy with 21 bundles. It's an organic subscription. I'll send my referral link :)
  • I'm not sure if it's works exactly the same in the States, but there are tons of samples available in Canada, and about a million different ways to go and get them.

    Off the top of my head, we've received samples by

    - signing up on the company website

    - making a registry at Babies'R'Us (my favourite one)

    - looking in the baby aisle at stores (several, including some of our grocery stores have sample sizes available to purchase)

    I'm sure there are some more ways that I can't think of right now...my hubby loves looking for deals in his spare time and has found MANY free baby samples online. He's found a Johnson & Johnson baby toiletries sample pack (I used to buy them at Walmart, but he found it free last time) baby-proofing supplies like a toilet lid lock and cabinet locks, diaper & wipes samples, a free diaper bag with changing pad, bottle samples, pacifier samples, formula samples, diaper cream samples, baby dish soap/laundry soap samples and there's probably some more that I'm forgetting!

    For any other Canadian mommies, here is the link for the Nestle baby program which is comes with the free diaper bag...it's one of our favourite samples. :)https://www.nestle-baby.ca/en/register/begin?gclid=CIHNu4G_x8cCFYQ_aQodaE0IbA

  • Andplusalso...you can get samples from some events too....like the one someone just posted in my other BMB...

    "Hey ladies!


    I know a lot of you are registered at Babies R Us, so you may have gotten the text/email, but if you didn't, all stores are hosting a breastfeeding event this Saturday (8/29) at 2:00. They're supposedly going to give breastfeeding tips, info on pumps, pass out free stuff, etc.

  • @elbou do you know if the breastfeeding event is in Canada too? That looks like the US website.

  • Sorry @Angelface225 I don't know. It was posted by another user who I'm pretty sure is from the States, so probably not in Canada at the moment. I have seen similar events in Canada though, so keep looking! I'll let you know if I hear of any :)

  • @Angelface225 Wow...can't believe I stumbled across an event that fast, but I just found out about one happening in Toronto this Sunday. Here's the link: https://globalnews.ca/news/2170927/torontos-biggest-baby-shower-at-shops-at-don-mills/  Not sure if you're close enough to go, but I did say I'd let you know of any I found ;)
