Try this website. They give you a catalog of free stuff to choose from but if you dont see anything you want, you can just do a custom order and get ANYTHING you want.

never never never never never open any mail or click on any ad from any one you don't know, even then make sure that it is from someone you know that is responsible. I once got an email from my birthing class coordinator because I was on her buddy list-it turned out to be a trojan virus-she didn't know that it went out to everyone on her list-be very very very very careful about what you open or click on. Make sure you have virus protection, spy sweeper, and firewall on your computer-it's not worth the risk.
Some of these companies, receive a penny for each pop up that come up on your computer. So imagine how many pennies they receive a day?????????? Millions.
