Yeah - I've had that before from a seller on ebay. Quite handy little snacks for hillwalking though

Overclockers UK (a computer components retailer) occassionally bung a bag of sweets in with orders too.

I remember a detailing company (sadly out of business) that used to do this. As a result, whenever I sold something, I always chucked in a few sweets.

Ah - you're right, I think that's who I remember getting them from!

At work the suppliers of out photocopier paper always put a tube of biscuits in with the delivery- very pleasant

You decided to copy the business practises of a failed business? Umm....

I purchased a couple of rolls of 35mm film from a company called Crooked Imaging on Ebay, and also got a bag Haribo Tangfastic

I once ordered some Haribos and received a free Canon inside

I knew there was a reason to buy the jumbo packs!

I've got a set of towels off Canon when I bought a lens.

Not camera gear, but a friend recently bought a guitar and in the case, along with some related freebies such as strings, strap and lead, was a Curly Wurly!

I'm guessing you ordered from 'crooked-imaging'?

I have also received Haribo when ordering from them and have it delivered by post.

Although I never gotten the sweets when I have picked up directly from their HQ (they are fairly local)! Nice guy though.

Wiggle, the pushbike gear place take the prize for including wierd things in with your order...

I've had Haribo, Keyrings, Bottle-Openers, vouchers for Wine Deliveries, Graze Boxes, Gourmet Coffee... but @Marcel got a picture of a Unicorn riding a bike!

Indeed I did. That was going to be my contribution to this thread

Woops must have sent that from my pocket. Judging by the post time, I was on top of Fan Brycheiniog.

My last Amazon order came with a free sheet of brown paper and some plastic pillows.
My daughter used the former for doodling, but I've yet to find any small animals in need of the latter.
