About 2 weeks ago I emailed a couple companies and asked if they could please send me some coupons/samples/brochures for me to put in my "Kitten Kit" that I'm putting together for the new owner of my 2 kittens(I'm hand-raising 2 orphan kittens). Well, I got quite a few different samples and many companies were even nice enough to send some full bags of food(or coupons for a full bag).
I thought I had gotten everything, but today I got a ring on my doorbell and I went to answer it and there were 2 rather large boxes outside my door.
I ordered a bunch of stuff a few days ago(I'm getting a new cage and accessories for my sugar gliders
) so I figured that's what it was.
Well, I brought these 2 heavy boxes inside and looked at the label and they are from Natural balance(They don't sell glider stuff! lol). Curious, I opened the first box and was greeted by 25(yes 25!) little baggies that were nicely packages with a little ribbon on each one. Each baggy contained 2 food samples, a can of wet food, some brochures, and a couple coupons. Ok, I thought, this is weird.
I set that box aside and open the other one and you won't believe it: 25 MORE BAGGIES!!!
That's 100 total baggies!
I think they misunderstood my request, lol. I asked for 2 small samples to put in the box that I'm making into my "kitten kit". Instead they sent me 2 BOXES OF KITTEN KITS! ROFL!
Now, don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful for their generosity, but what the heck am I going to do with all these things?!?! lol. I considered taking them to a shelter, but I don't think a shelter would appreciate having to open up 100 teeny tiny sample food bags just so they can pour them into a big container, lol. Although, they WOULd probably enjoy the wet food.
Anyways, any suggestions on what I can do?
Oh yeah, here are some pics(my kitty, Binx, is wondering how much of the samples HE gets, lol):
