Re-apply as necessary depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity and other environmental factors can reduce the duration of protection of all insect repellents. Well yes, if used properly we found it to be really effective in repelling the dreaded Scottish midges. The manufacturer claims that one application provides 9 hours of protection but we found that be effective you need to reapply it every couple of hours.
I personally found that by applying it around the brim of my sun hat ex-British Army bush hat the repellent kept the majority of midges away from my face and neck which was brilliant as I could avoid having use a view spoiling midge net. In general Jungle Formula Maximum Insect Repellent works well against the tiny flying devils of Scotland and is worth considering if you are going to be in midge infested areas. No Available From: Email address: Anyone who has walked in Scotland during the summer months will know that midges mean business!
These horrid little flying insects can turn a pleasant walk in the countryside into something straight from a horror film if you are unprepared. So what is DEET? There are a few things you should consider before using a DEET based substance… DEET is effective but it does not agree with everyone especially those suffering with respiratory problems such as asthma. Repellents containing DEET are not suitable for children under 16 years old.
Some Paradise Freebies sites such as Garden only requires one trial offer as other Paradise Freebies such as Jungle may take 2 offers to complete. It is very easy to fulfill the requirements. What are the best Paradise Freebies sites? Paradise Freebies has many other programs; however, these two are the most popular since Garden is the easiest, and Ocean pays out the most.. Who pays me and how do I get paid?
Is this a real, legit business? If you decide to join.

There are a few things you should consider before using a DEET based substance… DEET is effective but it does not agree with everyone especially those suffering with respiratory problems such as asthma. I'm disappointed when there is a giveaway that does not include the book.
We live in the digital era. Now everyone ignores and fast forwards right through the advertisements. They need people like you and me to help them get their products and services in the hands of new customers and they will pay us to do so! How much money can I really make referring people to Paradise Freebies? This is a really loaded question. How much do you want to make?
It all depends on you. The more people you refer the more money you will make. Simple and straight forward as that.
Is Paradise Freebies one of those get rich quick schemes? Paradise Freebies is nowhere close to a get rich quick scheme. It was a map of Dharma, the small Californa town that Brooklyn Decker the star of her Biblophile series hales from. What a great way to see how the town is laid out.
Every business and home is labeled. Love the free stuff.
Love having author items to show off to promote the author and books. Anything to promote cozies- love bookmarks, am known as post-it queen at school, or anything the author sends. I have a special drawer where I keep little treasures. And I love sharing bookmarks. I know our small library would love extra bookmarks since they have a special section just for cozy mysteries. I like swag too, but have to try not to accumulate any more bags--I'm overflowing!
I use them for groceries to avoid using plastic, as well as all the other uses mentioned by others. Free books are the best, I agree with everyone else, with a bookmark from the author inside. Glad to hear Jenn has so many creative ideas for swag! Elizabeth in Indiana. Ridiculous giveaways are my absolute favorite!
Books, bags, measuring spoons I want to read About A Dog so badly!!! Love any kind of free swag from authors if it pertains to their books. Books, pens, bookmarks, totes, whatever. Love it all. Also, love your books! Can't wait for the next cupcake mystery!! Hope I win!!! Well, it wasn't really swag, but it has made me like the book even more: It was a picture of a sign that my father had painted back in the 's!
I adore swag LOL I am a bag lady, so I simply adore bags-and love ones that show off mysteries! I love key chains, but don't have many of those. I have a few mugs And I would have loved a tiara, even though I'm not at all "girly". I'd love charms, but I really wish and this would be too tough and probably copyright impossible coloring books of the mysteries in question: I adore free stuff as well. My favorites are things I can use everyday so I can justify my need for them. I've never had a tiara but I know I'd give to my little girl as I'd quickly deem it impractical for myself.
I'll be chuckling all day over the tiara-induced bribe attempts. I'm a swag fan. Sure it may be bad for the clutter, but it's a disease I might blame the Great Depression. While I love the pens and bags and bookmarks what comes to mind as my favorite swag accomplishments are those Christmas ornaments Kate Carlisle did last year and your measuring spoons. OMG the measuring spoons are brilliant. Frankly anything I can have on my desk at work or carry around with me and use that can start a conversation about books is absolutely perfect!
I like giveaways. It's given me a chance to check out new authors at times. Favorite swag was always pens or bookmarks. I like shirts but hard to get them in my size. Sorry to ask - I have not seen a comment from Grace Koshida sp? My husband considers it a mental illness. My junk drawer has now multiplied I like anything. The odder the better. It's how I learn new things. Oh course I love swag and free stuff! I really love books and I also like bookmarks, magnets, tote bags. Anything is appreciated. I love your swag! It's fun and the one time I won my daughter stole it all. You are me. I am you.
Love the swag, hate clutter. I'm fond of pens especially because I am forever searching for a pen at home and, yes, someone actually IS eating them and her name is Little Big Dog so I keep all my swag pens in a bag in my cabinet in my office not that I remember that when I'm screaming bloody murder that I can't find a bloody pen and who do you have to kill in this place before someone, anyone puts a darn pen back where it belongs, already.
My favorite swag while I was still working the Dreaded Day Job was those little travel sewing kits. I used the heck out of them because I'm clumsy and Mr. Murphy knows it. I once had to sit in my boss's office in my underpants and sew the middle seam of my pants back up before a huge meeting with our client. I used two skeins of beige thread that day.
Malice-Go-Round is great for swag! When I get home, my daughter and I sit on the bed and go through all the stuff so I can make my wish list for Christmas yes, I know Malice is like eight months before Christmas but my retired librarian MIL will buy me books and books and more books so I make sure she knows exactly which ones I want and then I take all the postcards to the library and find books to "hide" them in. Handselling books to people I've never met. So, see, Jenn, those postcards do come in handy. I've thought about putting extra bookmarks or the post cards in books are Barnes and Noble.
Didn't know if I should rebel and do it or ask first. Aimee, I love the idea of putting the postcards in library books. I'm going to do it!
I would most definitely buy a book without it though or not judge an author for not having swag. My favorite has been totes, paper, cloth eye glasses cleaner, pens, anything I can use. I like free stuff, too. I don't have many book items except some library canvas bags. Edith, aprons or potholders would be something Quakerish.
Hint, I could use a new apron. LOL Sally. Love me some swag! I love author swag!
Some of my favorites are tote bags, notebooks, pens. I love swag, especially tote bags, pens, and bookmarks. I sometimes share the bookmarks but always keep a couple for my collection. I love mugs. I like to drink out of the mug of an author I'm reading.
Oct 8, Paradise Freebies Honest Review/Garden ParadiseFreebies and Ocean Paradise Freebies such as Jungle may take 2 offers to complete. Feb 19, Labels: Bookmarks, free stuff, freebies, giveaways, goodies, jungle red writers, I love getting print books that is my fav to get so i can review.
It's weird, I know. But I do. Bookmarks and pens are awesome. There's this romance author who's sister makes her earrings of her books. There have been some rare occasions where she's given those away. That's pretty cool. The swag is great, but for me, it's all about the books. Especially signed books! My friends nicknamed me the book whore because I go to book signings whenever I can. I can't wait About a Dog!
I'd be lost without my boy! I will take bookmarks to local libraries until I get my little free library up and running. For myself, I love tote bags and notepads. I have a saying "if it's free, it's for me". I live by that every day, lol. So yes I love free stuff, giveaways and the whole shebang. That said, does it make me want to read the book more, no. Does it make me like the author more, no. If I get bookmarks or postcards I take most of them to the library to promote the book.
If the author is giving away a book I either have or will have or have read, I either dont enter or if they have something amazing with the book give the book to a friend or the library. I love tote bags, doodads, gegaws and the whole gambit of goodies. I'm disappointed when there is a giveaway that does not include the book. Love free stuff! Books, mugs, bookmarks, you name, I love it!
After I read the books I donate them to the Library to share the wealth! I love when I can't win some free book swag. I always love a good bookmark because I read so much. I have a few pens from books that I carry in my wallet as well as some reusable bags which are always handy.
Getting swag always make me more likely to read an author too. Hi Jenn I don't need any swag but what I do need is a refill of bookmarks for my library bookmarks bag. With our friend in Florida I'm in desperate need of more of your bookmarks. Pretty Please can you send me some? Winning something from a favorite author is so much fun!
I LOVE signed paperbacks and gift cards to buy more books! The authors I follow are very generous!!! I'd hope you'd do the tiaras again 'cause now I want one, too! The best giveaways are signed books, of course. I have several from several authors and they are my most prized possessions. From a strictly swag point of view, though, my favourite swag I've received has been lip balm, which was swag because the label was a picture of the author's book cover.
The most unique swag I've received, I think, is a magnet clip. Like a magnet to put on your fridge that you can also clip stuff to. Also a calendar is a personal fave of mine because it came from my favourite writer. Anyway, short story long, but short version: Swag is Super. Pens of course because who doesn't need pens? Mugs, naturally. Oooh those micro fiber cloths- love them! Army football gives out little towels- great to keep in the cars. Tape measures- need those sometimes. And tote bagswell to tote books and stuff!
I love swag!. They are great reminders of an experience of a conference or of reading a great book. Best are free books of course, but my favs are mugs, pins, and bags. Pens, pencils, and erasers are wonderful too! Thank you for your generous heart!
I especially love autographed books. The thing with cozy mysteries is I never part with them. Makes for an enormous book clutter at my house. I love free stuff but it needs to be useful or I'll just pass it along.
Swag works! I also will grab every item I can get if you wave it in my face. T-shirt that will never fit me? Another tote bag to add to the 87 million I already have? I give pencils and pens to my mother. I particularly like unusual items like your measuring spoons. I like it all! Ooh, and cat toys! I think we all love free stuff!
I just think it is such a neat thing to have items, whatever they may be, that relate to some of my favorite books. My favorite swag is lip balm, tote bags, pens, magnets, and coffee mugs. I love it all though. Books are the best but there's lots of good swag, too.
I like useful swag like measuring spoons, jar openers, spatulas, coffee mugsall fun to use. Jungle Red Writers. Sunday, February 19, Swag! Jenn McKinlay. Okay, I have a confession to make I love free stuff. I mean I really love free stuff, which is deeply at odds with my utter contempt for clutter. Clutter makes me bonkers. Give me free stuff. These are my issues.
Compounding my issues is the reality that I have developed a swag problem. It started so simply. That seemed smart. Then they offered to make postcards, too. Very nice. I felt like it was a sort of a business card for the books. I dutifully took them to events but then I noticed that other authors had even cooler stuff to hand out. Pens, sticky-notes, and sometimes key-chains, water bottles, and tote bags. In a blind panic of newbie authorness, I decided I had to up my game. The darkness began with the book Sugar and Iced. Set against the backdrop of a beauty pageant, I thought it would be hilarious to offer up tiaras as a silly giveaway.
Well, if the beauty pageant in the book was cut throat it was nothing compared to the rabid response I got from readers wanting to win a tiara. Seriously, bribes were involved! It just proves everyone wants a tiara, yes, even some dudes. I have to say, they were pretty sweet with real rhinestones on a metal base from a British import company and they only cost five bucks. After that, the madness snowballed into cupcake squishy balls, aprons, berets, library card swag, some of which was produced exclusively by the Poisoned Pen, you name it, we did it.
I can hear you asking why even offer swag? I imagine every author has a different reason for offering bookmarks, bags, pens, or whatever. Leave a comment and be entered to win this ridiculous giveaway! So, Reds, tell me, do you like free stuff? Like a sweet Jungle Red Writers bookmark? Readers l eave a comment, telling us your preferred author swag i. Because, of course, there's a giveaway!
