Getting freebies is okay once in a while especially when you are getting it from people or businesses that you patronize. However, do you think it is okay to always want to enjoy freebies?
 
Freebies are good, but generally, they exist because you are going to be nice to the giver or will be in the future anyway.

That's another way to look at it. Once you keep taking up freebies, you are indebted to the person giving in the future one way or another.
 
Depends on the freebies. I have to go to tech shows, and some freebies are nice (can’t complain about free pens), but a lot of these types of conferences just hand out junk.

The truth is that any free thing always come with a prize so am not all that comfortable with free things.
 
Some business' will give out freebies as a way to entice people to come to their business. Usually there is a catch though. Like, if you buy this item then you get this other item for free with it.......or something like that.

It's one thing to get a freebie once in a while. I don't purposely go looking for freebies because I was taught that you work for the things that you want.

Free pens are not bad especially when you use them at the shows that you attend.
 
I don't mind getting some free items such as pens & notepaper, or canvas bags that I will use. Other items are quite cheaply made &/or I wouldn't use them. i.e. water bottles & coffee mugs.

As a birthday present, I wouldn't mind getting any of those items as a gift. Birthday celebrants are meant to be gifted.
