Freebies and other Offers-- For Twins and More!
Warning: This has not been updated since at least 1996
The following is a listing of companies that offer coupons, discounts or free offers to either new parents, new parents of multiples (sometimes triplets+) and parents of multiples.  Remember, if you are parents of "super-twins", most companies that offer free products for twins will send three for triplets, etc., be sure to ask!  In compiling this list, it was not always clear as to whether a given company also had offers for singletons. It never hurts to ask.  Each company has different requirements, be sure to check if they need a copy of birth certificates, etc.
