Set up in 1996, Magic Freebies UK is now the UK's most popular freebie site. We offer the UK freebie hunter free stuff, competitions, money-saving & money-making information.

Please read on to find out more about Magic Freebies UK.

I want freebies! How do I get them?

As Magic Freebies UK does not stock any freebies themselves, the length of time it takes depends on the company in question. Sometimes if an advertising campaign is set to run for a long time, you may not get your freebies for a long time, so don't panic- postie hasn't forgotten you!

How do you find freebies?

We have a dedicated team working hard to find you freebies from all over the internet. We also have companies contacting us directly, as well as friendly people who alert us to any freebies they find.

Have you Found a freebie? Let us know! We'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Why do companies give away freebies?

Why do supermarkets give away free samples? Yes I know - never answer a question with a question but you get the idea. Giving out freebies is a way for companies to advertise their products and to entice you to buy it again in the future. Often big companies like Gillette or L'Oreal have a few hundred thousand freebies to give away as part of their campaign and you can take advantage of this!

How long have you been running?

Magic Freebies UK was set up in 1996 by its founder and freebie lover Tom Bryant. The site has changed its look throughout the years but is now one of the most popular freebie sites in the UK.

Do you charge for your service?

Magic Freebies UK never has and never will charge for anything. Our website will also stay completely free of annoying pop-ups and intrusive banner adverts as well.
