We are continually asked if companies offer free stuff to families of multiples. Although we do not actively go out and approach companies for free stuff or promotional items we have compiled the following list of companies that have had special promotions or offers for families of multiples in the past.

These listings may or may not be current.  Please feel free to e-mail us if you have others that you want added to the list. We welcome e-mail from any company representatives that also wish to get their company listed here. If you find  that any of these listings are no longer valid, e-mail us so we can take it off the list.

Please see *Note* at the end of the page.
