It’s interesting that everyone here professes that they’d turn free stuff down or give it away. I call BS on that. Also, brands gift stuff to these peope because they are the ones with the followers and whonwill get them sales. It doesn’t benefit them for it to be passed on to charity as then they don’t get the coverage.
you do realise that sometimes brands don’t even ask and they just send stuff anyway and you literally don’t know when stuff is going to arrive.
And? It doesn’t mean she has to lord it all over IG gushing her thanks and tagging them. She isn’t obliged to advertise for them because they send her free stuff. It’s the fact she willingly accepts the free gifts that makes her greedy.
I absolutely agree however she could just donate it once she's done? Or ask the brand if she can advertise the product for them with the mention of donating it. Surely that also looks good for the brand as well
I think I read (might have even been on here?) that she mentioned on the podcast/somewhere that Chris gave her an allowance every month, so she doesn’t seem to have full access to the money which I find a bit strange.
Exactly this! And fwiw, I would have declined any freebie offered. I’m lucky I was in a position to buy everything our baby needed and Feathering The Empty Nest posted a very kind “thanks but no thanks I have everything we need” post - the Ramseys could take a leaf from her book. There’s a big difference between gracious and grabby.
Don’t blame him, he needs to protect his cash. I think In their situation that she hasn’t previously contributed to the household heavily that it’s his cash. However now she’s an ’influencer’ she may be earning her keep. Still not sure who she influences now and who would buy something because of her? Nor liking that piece of material over her head.
Exactly - surely that’s better advertising for firms if their products go to people in desperate need with the added bonus of raising the profile of people in need via someone with a large social media following? The hypocrisy of encouraging us all to support food banks etc then go on an expensive mini break to London (whilst we’re all supposed to be minimising travel) and then accept a bunch of unneeded freebies is breathtaking
I just think, yet again, they haven’t read the room at all here. She visited a bloody food bank last week and was going on about how people are struggling, and now the shows an actual ceiling high pile of freebies from Tommee Tippee!! It would do hers and TTs PR so much more good if they donated this
she is a shareholder though - 1 of the 4 shares in the company! Probably not a director because its not really necessary.
I wouldn’t turn down a freebie personally as I’ve just been made redundant, so I’d gladly accept. However if I had their money I absolutely would give it away, there’s no need for it.
