You may have heard about Amazon’s “Welcome Box” with free stuff for new mothers and babies. Is it for real? Yes! I just received my box of samples and full size products worth about $35 just the other day, and I’ll let you know how to claim one as well.
Here’s what you have to do to be eligible:
- Be an Amazon Prime member
- Create a Baby Registry and complete the Checklist
- Have a purchase of $10 or more from your registry (you can buy it or someone else can buy it for you)
- After following the steps above you’ll see a link to “claim” your Welcome Box in the Baby Registry. You can then add it to your shopping cart. Note: The claim link won’t become live until the $10 purchase mentioned above actually ships.
The total at checkout will show as $0.00.
You’ll be given an estimated ship date, just like you would with any Amazon order.
My box arrived within a week. It contained an assortment of full sized and sample sized products from different brands:
- Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottle, valued at approx. $5.00
- Philips Avent Natural bottle, valued at approx. $7.00
- Boon Nursh silicone pouch bottle, valued at $7.00
- Amazing Baby muslin swaddle, valued at $7.19 and up
- Pack of 2 NUK newborn silicone pacifiers, valued at $6.28
- Two sample pairs of disposable nursing pads
- Samples of Cetaphil Baby Wash and Johnson’s CottonTouch Baby Wash
- Moon and Back organic cotton bodysuit, valued at approx. $5.00
- Hudson Baby cotton bandana bib, valued at $10.95
I’m really happy with the variety and quality, with only one exception. There weren’t any diapers at all – disposable or cloth! This is one product that you’ll use more than any other on your baby, so it seems odd that Amazon doesn’t include any in the Welcome Box. Even a couple of diaper coupons, at the least, would be a logical addition to the mix.
Have you used Amazon’s Baby Registry before? If you’ve claimed the Welcome Box, let me know what you got!
