The thread Wiggle Generous brought me onto the question:


What is the best Free gift that you have received when ordering online?


Mine has to be, although not from purchasing online but from a clients Christmas present.

3 White Stress Balls to represent snow balls which can then be thrown around the office until bored, they then take the roll of relieving stress in the office. Much better than the old Christmas card :)

Whats yours, both bike related and not?

    I usually get a free envelope when ordering from CRC. Wiggle sent me a free cardboard box once.

    It seems Wiggle have bought back the free pack of sweets. Haven't had one of them off them for ages.

    Got a Mini pack of Haribo assorted sweets with my order yesterday, the packet has 10p written on it! Thanks Wiggle.
  • went for a local ride with a guy near me from pinkbike today...

    He handed over a nice pair of goggles that were surplus to his requirements (out of the blue too, he'd just got some new ones and brought them with).Look awesome with my full face too :)

    I know its not really something I go online...but it kinda is :lol:

    Tested out the surge properly too, love it :D

    Wiggle keyring bottle openner, so no not very good, at least with the sweeties you don't mind getting them with every order, what do you do with 35 keyrings :shock: (sweeties hopefully in tomorrow's Wiggle delivery).
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    What a nice fella! can't beat free gear :)

    The surge looks great, very nice frame and the colour combinations work perfectly. Bet she looks even nicer covered in mud!

    Never got anything from Wiggle. I aquired Gold status a few weeks ago too.

    Come to think of it never got anything free from any of the online shops. Recently got some free pawl springs from Hope though.

    Some slices of rock type sweetie effort with CRC through the middle from Chain Reaction Cycles with some pedals.

    Probably a Christmas thing...
    Don't get too close as a broken tail light often offends...

    Joplin turned up today, no free gift (useless or otherwise) though, credit crunch bites again.

    Last time I ordered from Wiggle I got a bottle opener too which actually proved very useful, ordered some new cabling and a jersey from them today and shall see what I get. Much Excite! 8)

    Wiggle always throw in some trivial little trinket when you buy from them, it's a nice gesture in my opinion. I've got quite a few freebies from Wiggle, then again I've spent a small fortune with them
    When I bought a bike I got a free small Multitool and pedal spanner. Cool!
    I've received many a packet of Wiggle bike shaped jelly sweets, which I don't eat and end up giving away and I also have a small collection of Wiggle bottle openers, about 7 or 8 of them.
