This week's freebie isn't really a freebie - but it was for me so it still counts ☺
We've all heard of or at least seen Moleskine notebooks either on TV, on the tube or while perusing the notebooks aisle in WH Smiths.
I've wanted a Moleskine for ages but couldn't bear to buy one as they're pretty expensive!
Luckily, the company that I work for gives out the Moleskine notebooks with our company's name engraved in them so that students/grads remember how fab they are.
While volunteering at a recruitment fair a few months ago, I managed to snag one as some people hadn't turned up. Their loss was most certainly my gain!
One of my work colleagues wasn't able to help out at the event, but as he's making (even more) positive changes in his life he wanted a Moleskine to track his efforts. There's a fresh Moleskine store 5 minutes away from our office so we popped out to it during a break
He bought two Moleskine notebooks - the most memorable being this Homer Simpson one.
When you shop at a Moleskine store, instead of taking your purchases out in a plastic carrier bag, you get one of these cool recyclable bags.
I was so jealous of my friend's new bag so I asked for my own. The girl in the store said they normally don't give them away but as my friend bought two notebooks, a bag per book isn't unheard of.
Tip to takeaway from this story: If you want something, just ask for it! There's a 50% chance the answer will be yes!
