Look for Gift-With-Purchase Offers
Especially during seasonal events or catalogue launches, many retailers offer a free gift when you spend a certain amount. Oriflame frequently run “Step-Up” programs—spend £30, get a free product; spend £50, get a luxury bonus item and with Avon, you can use the code from your brochure or your rep’s link—many orders over £20 come with a surprise gift.

Follow Brands & Reps on Social Media
Beauty brands often announce flash freebies and samples on Instagram or Facebook first. If you’re an Avon or Oriflame fan, following a rep’s page is often the fastest way to hear about limited-time offers and giveaways.
Don’t Overlook Magazines & In-Store Promotions
UK magazines like ELLE, Glamour, or Cosmopolitan frequently include mini beauty products as cover gifts. Also, check In-store testers at Boots, Superdrug, seasonal events like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day gift bags.
